December 21, 2009 – Divine Interaction with SSSIHMS, WF Doctors
Swami says that Puttaparthi is a workshop where all the cars (read devotees) come in for maintenance; it is the place where all the devotees come to “recharge their spiritual batteries”. The pot is full of water as long as it remains immersed in it. Once taken out, the water gradually evaporates till the pot becomes empty. To keep the pots of their lives ever submerged in spirituality is why many devotees visit Puttaparthi regularly.
A contingent of doctors from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Bengaluru, had arrived to bask in His love and refill their 'pots'! They were present the previous day evening and were blessed with His darshan. On that day, Swami had sent word for all of them to be seated in the Bhajan Hall for an interaction with Him. And sure enough, by 4:25 p.m., the Lord was out and He cut through the ladies' side and headed straight to the interview room. Soon, He moved into the Bhajan Hall much to the delight of the hundred and fifty or so people seated there.
Swami was the loving mother as He enquired into the well being of everyone present. As He moved to the centre, representatives offered roses to Him and Swami accepted them lovingly. He saw the longing and thirst that pervaded the hall and immediately began to move around slowly, amidst the seated doctors and their families. And then, it started.
The rain of Love! Swami moved through them, taking letters and talking, consoling and cajoling, correcting and creating! Many mothers held out their babes for blessings and none of them were disappointed. In fact, it was a guarantee of a blessing when one had a child or baby to hold! Most of the people took padanamaskar as Swami moved towards the altar from the back end of the Bhajan Hall. Arriving in the front, Swami was requested to speak to all of them. Swami agreed and a mike was placed in front.
Bhagavan began by asking in Kannada whether all understood that language. The bhajans were on outside and the volumes were lowered and now Swami could be heard. He said that it was vital that the poor be served. The more they are served, the more He is pleased. But He emphasized on the quality of treatment too. The feeling of Love is paramount and only that makes up service. Everyone is an embodiment of God and must be treated that way. Though called by different names, God is one and He is in all.
The discourse was short and focused. After ten minutes, Swami began to interact with all those present. He saw two kids who seemed to be troubling their mothers! He called one of them and materialized a gold chain! The baby was so happy and began to play with the creation even before Swami could put it around her neck. Swami lovingly 'chained' her to Himself and spoke to the parents. Many couples sought His advise and blessings for various matters and it was as if Swami was granting mini family interviews!
He also granted family pictures for a few and nearly everyone in the hall moved up to Him and had a few words. Finally, a queue got formed and people moved towards Swami, kneeling before Him and speaking to Him. Thus, after a bliss-filled 40 minutes in the Bhajan Hall, Swami moved back to the interview room. Later, He came out for bhajans and soon received aarthi and left.
Bhagawan’s Message to Doctors There is no need of any translator. Does everyone know Kannada in your group? Most of the patients who come to our hospital are economically poor. You have to speak to them with love and compassion. Your eyes should radiate love when you speak to them. Do not be harsh with them (by shouting go … go … ). Never get angry with them. Speak sweetly and softly to all patients. A Doctor should develop such noble qualities. But nowadays doctors crave for only money, money and money… |
