AS
YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP....
Movie like projection by Swami
He fell at Bhagawan's
Lotus feet and cried, 'You are God, being ever present in the past,
present and future. You are our destiny.
Please save us all.'
The author Dr. A.V. Lakshminarasimhan, is a Faculty Member in the
Department of Bio-Sciences of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher
Learning at the Prasanthi Nilayam Campus. This is one of the
miracles mentioned in his article.
"Way back in 1948 when Bhagawan was 22 years of age in this
beautiful physical frame, a certain wealthy man visited Prasanthi
Nilayam along with his twin sons who were born blind. This wealthy
man had toured the world over and had consulted great
eye-specialists but all of them had said unanimously that it was
impossible to provide eyesight to the blind twins. Hence the wealthy
man had come to see the young Bhagawan.
Bhagawan did not see them for seven long days. When the devotees,
who had brought this family to Prasanthi Nilayam, prayed to Bhagawan
for an interview, He called the wealthy man and his family along
with the devotees. Bhagawan gave them all a profound discourse on
the law of Karma and human dharma.
At the end, when the devotees
prayed and almost persuaded Bhagawan to grant sight to the twins, He
said, 'Look, what these twins have done in their past life' and
asked the devotees to look towards the corner of the interview room.
What they saw was like a movie. These twins appeared as two cruel
dacoits. They appeared to be tying two other persons to a tree in
the forest and plucking out their eyes and robbing them of their
wealth. The devotee was perplexed and disturbed seeing this
incident taking place before his eyes.
Bhagawan asked the devotees.'Tell me, shall I grant sight to these
boys? If you are in My place what will you do?' The devotee had no
answer. He fell at Bhagawan's Lotus feet and cried, 'Baba, pardon me
for my audacity. You are God, being ever present in the past,
present and future. You are our destiny. Please save us all.'
Bhagawan with all His Love lifted the devotee and said that the
twins had repented for their evil deeds and prayed to God for
forgiveness. Their lifestyle had changed. They served the poor with
the robbed money and as a result of which they have been born in the
house of the wealthy man. They cannot, however, escape from the evil
act of blinding two innocent persons and hence had to be born blind.
Bhagawan assured that now that they had come to His divine presence,
their future would be good and that He would take care of them and
would bless them."
The present
is a product of the past, but it is also the seed of the future
