Mahendrabhai (Pij), a veteran devotee, came for Swamishri’s darshan. Swamishri recognized him instantly and asked him how he was. On seeing a little child with him Swamishri enquired who he was.

“He is my grandson,” he replied. Mahendrabhai’s son, Jaimin, was also with him. Swami asked Jaimin, “Do you come to the mandir? Do you attend the Sunday assembly?”

Jaimin remained quiet. A sadhu replied that he doesn’t come to the mandir.

“Do you come?” Swamishri asked Mahendrabhai.

“I come everyday, from morning.”

“Then why don’t you bring him along with you!” Swamishri added.

“Oh, he is asleep then.”

“Then you must wake him up. Didn’t your mother wake you up! Similarly, you should wake him up. Just as your mother woke you up and kept you engaged in satsang, likewise you should wake him up and bring him into Satsang.”

Swamishri revives and consolidates satsang in the lives of lapsed satsangi youths.
