Late Night Service

 

All our Gunatit Gurus have excelled in their service to Maharaj. This incident is from 1965. Preparations were in full swing for the Centenary Celebrations of ShastrijiMaharaj in Atladra. Pramukh Swami was enthusiastically engrossed in all aspects of the preparations.

Once, at 2.00 a.m., the youth volunteers were asleep after a hard day's work. Just then a truckload of mattresses arrived. The driver was in a hurry to unload and return. Satyapriya swami was with Swamishri.  And he suggested that the youths be woken up. Swamishri said, "They must be tired after having worked all day. It's not right to wake them up." There was nobody else awake who could be called to unload the truck. Yet Swamishri was undeterred. He said, "Satyapriya, you climb onto the truck and throw the mattresses down one-by-one. I'll stack them up."

"But, Swami..."

"Why? Can't I do it. You give and I'll arrange," Swamishri interrupted and spoke with conviction. In this way, Swamishri himself readily stacked the mattresses.
