Dr Harendrabhai of Dakor asked Swamishri, “A female devotee of a village has given me a substantial sum of money to look after. Since it is all she has she believes that the money would come to use in her dire times. And after she dies she wants it to be donated to the Sanstha. But I explained to her to donate it now to Thakorji in the presence of Swamishri, and whenever she needed money her sons would send it to her. She agreed and I have brought the money to donate it on her behalf.”

Dr Harendrabhai placed the sum before Thakorji.

Swamishri stopped him and advised, “There is no need to give it now. Even though her sons live abroad she may not, in times of emergency, be able to get the money immediately. And furthermore is there any guarantee that she will get help from them? What will happen to her when she needs it and doesn’t have any? Take the money back, and according to her wish, donate it after she passes away.”

Swamishri’s practical and caring approach is exemplary.
