“The Giver Is Bhagavan, So I Want It.”
September 15th, 2002
I’ll move on now to the 15th of September, 2002. (I am trying to keep in sequential order.)
While Swami was sitting there that pleasant evening, He looked at one boy, “Hmm, what class are you studying?”
The boy said, “Swami, the 11th class.”
“Come on.” He came. “Why did you not go home?”
“Swami, why should I go home?”
“Your father met with an accident. Why did you not go home?”
The boy said, “You did not ask me to go home, so I didn’t go.”
Then Swami smiled. “Because of your faith, I can tell you nothing has happened to him -- just a small little accident. Everything will be all right. Don’t worry,” Bhagavan said. And then immediately Swami said, “This afternoon you got the phone call from your mother telling you there was nothing to worry about.”
“Yes, Swami.”
“Why didn’t you tell Me? I know. I know what your mother told you on the phone.”
This was a miracle to everybody there. Swami knew what had happened and He also knew about the phone conversations between the son and the mother.
Then Swami said, “Boy, you have strong faith. Do you want a chain from me? Shall I give you a chain?”
He said, “Swami, yes I want a chain.” (Laughter)
“You ask your mother-in-law! She will give you. Why should I give you? (Laughter) You ask your father. He will get it done for you.”
“No, no, Swami! I don’t want one from my mother-in-law or my father. Since You are giving, I want to have it. The giver is Bhagavan, so I want it, Swami.”
“Oh, I see.” He immediately materialized the chain and gave it to that boy. Everybody was very, very happy.
