A Small Voice

Swami Bapa is one of the busiest persons in the whole world.
Though he is extremely busy, Bapa never says, “I don’t have time!”.
This is because he organizes his time properly.
And therefore Bapa finds time for the young and old alike.
Swami Bapa always responds to children’s questions.
Though he is great he answers even the smallest request of children!
Swami Bapa has dentures (false teeth).
After every meal he takes them out for brushing and cleaning.
Once after a meal Bapa took out his dentures.
A sadhu cleaned them and gave them back to him.
After placing them in his mouth he washed his hands.
A small child was watching all this.
Curious about Bapa’s false teeth he requested, “Bapa, show me your teeth!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Swami Bapa took out his dentures and smilingly said, “Look, here they are.”
The child was so happy because Bapa didn’t say no to him!
He then washed and cleaned his hands again.
All this for the loving curiosity of a child!
Bapa will do something extra for his beloved children.
At one place a child asked, “Bapa, I have heard that you had a big operation.
I would like to see the big cut. Where is it?”
Instantly Swami Bapa lifted his gaataryu (upper cloth), turned slightly and pointed his finger to the scar. It was the place where
he was operated upon to remove his gall bladder.
The child was amazed. With joy he ran to tell others what he had just seen.
Think for a while, even when thousands had come to see and meet Bapa
he still satisfied the curiosity of a small child!
Bapa is always willing to listen to the voice of small children.
