“THERE WILL BE NO STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR MY DEVOTEES”
Anil Kumar spoke about the students, who are always writing letters to Swami. These are letters of thanksgiving, of gratitude.
As a joke, Swami said to them: “You are all writing letters! Oh, too many, too many! Don’t write letters hereafter, OK? I shall not take letters hereafter. No, no. I don’t take because everyone is writing a letter.”
So Swami said ‘No, no, no, no letters.’
The boys said, "Swami, please."
I said softly, "Bhagavan, at least permit some letters that need Your immediate attention: Emergency – during a period of emergency."
Do you know what Bhagavan said? (What Swami says to boys is only an incident to convey His profound philosophy.) “Emergency? Emergency? There will be no state of emergency for My devotees. There is no state of emergency for My devotees. You don’t have to write to Me. If the situation is so dangerous, if you call it a ‘state of emergency’, I know how to take care of My devotees. I attend to their demands. I look after their necessities and needs. Don’t pick up this word ‘emergency’.”
There’s no emergency, so far as Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and His devotees are concerned. What an assurance is His! What a wonderful thing He said!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
