Swami Bapa was in Vidyanagar.
We have a very big youth hostel there.
Hundreds of boys stay there.
They learn our culture, our religion and our heritage.
They go to regular collegs and become graduates.
All these boys are very much involved in Satsang.
Whenever they meet Swami Bapa they feel happy and fulfilled.
Swami Bapa cares for them and loves them. They also love Swami Bapa immensely.
Once, Swami Bapa was having dinner. Some of the youth were discussing various topics.

Bapa was listening. He always listens a lot.
May be that is why he knows more and understands more.
Suddenly the topic changed to the Nobel Prize. It is a very prestigious award given to scholars, scientists, social workers or leaders who have made great discoveries or inventions or performed outstanding service to society.
Anybody who gets a Nobel Prize is repected all over the world.

He appears on the television, on the radio, in newspapers and in magazines.
He gets lots of publicity. Everyone plans for the Nobel Prize.

Rakshit, one of the boys, said, “Now the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Swami Bapa,
Bapa has done what nobody has done for humanity.”
It is true that Swami Bapa has done much for millions of people.
Bapa’s entire life has been for the good of the people. Therefore Bapa should get the prize.

Suresh asked Bapa, “What do you think about this Bapa?”
“For me, I have got you. I have these young men and these sadhus.
That for me is the Nobel Prize. We have devotion for God-that is also the Nobel Prize.

There were tears in many eyes. What greater teaching can there be for children!

and youth than these feelings of Swami Bapa! He thinks of us as his Nobel Prize. Bapa loves us more than a Nobel Prize! That’s why Bapa is the Noble of the noble. Bapa has the prize of hearts. Your heart. My heart. Millions of hearts!
