| In
1981, Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj was operated upon for stones
in the gall bladder. He went to Gondal after the surgery to rest.
One day, after Swamishri had breakfast, a balak named Chandrakant came
rushing. He asked Swamishri in childish prattle, “Bapa, where
is your operation scar?” He heard his parents once talking about
an operation on Swamishri.
The devotees who saw the child were quite surprised to see the balak.
Then, Swamishri lifted his upper cloth (gatariyu) and showed him the
scar. He said to the balak, “Here, run your hand on it so that
it heals soon.”
Innocently, Chandrakant ran his hand on the scar.
Then Swamishri said, “Now it will heal soon.”
Dear kids, this simple dialogue shows how great Swamishri is. He humbly
asked blessings from a balak.
We should also follow Swamishri and learn to be humble to seek blessings
even from a balak who may be younger than us. |
