Reminiscences

A young man from another village met ShriMaharaj. He said to him whatever was to be said, accepted prasad, and returned. Later he remembered that his father had  told him to convey his salutation of regard to ShriMaharaj, and he had forgotten to convey that. Next time he met ShriMaharaj, he said, "Maharaj, please forgive me. Last time I forgot to convey my father's salutation to you.". Upon this ShriMaharaj promptly said, "Convey my blessings to him'; and added in a low voice, "What is the charm in conveying a salutation to him, whom it does not reach the very moment it is spoken ?"
