Reminiscences

Turn a problem of everyday life into an opportunityFor pursuit of attainment of God.


Once a large number of persons had gathered at Gondavale, when it rained unexpectedly for about half an hour. A problem arose as to where all the people could get a dry place to sleep.Then Sri Maharaj said, 'There is a
 very simple way out of this predicament. Each one should go to bed only after finding out whether or not the next person has slept. Let the entire night be spent in chanting Nama and singing bhajans, so that one will not even realize when it dawns. The joy of chanting Nama can be enjoyed to heart's content. To sleep at night is a daily event. If an opportunity arises some night to keep a vigil in honour of God, why not treat it as a favour of God ?"
