Om Sri Sai Ram
Once it so happened, a big man by virtue of his position and devotion, came towards me and said, “Anil Kumar, be careful. Don’t take things for granted. Staying with Swami is something like walking on razor’s edge. You should walk through the fire and see that you are not burnt. It is a challenging thing. You must be highly careful.”
These are the words from a very elderly gentleman, highly experienced devotee and an able administrator of the whole of Brindavan, today called ‘Trayee Brindavan’, there in Whitefield, at Bangalore. This gentleman’s name is Sri Rama Brahmam.
Rama Brahmam served as a caretaker of Brindavan until his last breath. When he took over charge, when Swami asked him to be there as the caretaker, it was almost a forest. There were no lights also, and snakes often made their appearance. He used to carry the torch with him and move around. That was the condition then. Today, it has become the heart of the city.
Conditions then were totally different. And there were no buildings around excepting Swami’s place (residence). That’s all. And this Rama Brahmam is known to me since long. And Swami wanted me to take charge as the Principal of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning at Bangalore in the year 1989. I know Rama Brahmam very well and he was a resident of Brindavan campus. I was staying next to his building there in the bungalow alloted to me. I used to visit him every day and seek his guidance and noted every point he said. And today I believe I could have successful tenure of office there in six years it is purely beause of the guidance of Sri Rama Brahmam. Of course, the Divine inscrutable will is there, but this gentleman served as a powerful instrument in the hands of Swami by advising me from time to time.
One day Rama Brahmam said, “Mr. Anil Kumar, there may be a situation when you may be asked to get out of Brindavan. Swami is a perfectionist. He will not tolerate any simple mistake. The punishment is total. He will ask you to quit your bungalow and get out.”
And then I said, “Sir, Is that so? Is He so harsh? Then what do you want me to do when He asks me to get out?”
And Rama Brahmam said, “You come out of your bungalow, but don’t leave Bangalore. You sit at the gate, sit down. Wait until Swami calls you back. He is full of kindness, full of mercy. Our dear God cannot bear the suffering of anybody. He asks you to get out and He wants you to obey His command. But watching you waiting for Him, His heart melts and immediately calls you and permits you to go back to your residence. This is one thing that Sri Rama Brahmam told me.
And the second point he said was, “When He scolds you, don’t look that way and this way. Just look straight, right, straight onto His face and pray for His mercy. ‘Swami, pardon me if I committed any mistake. Please be kind to me.’ That is how you should pray. But if you look that side and this side, well it only means Swami will certainly take it that you are a man of ego. After ego you want to see people how they react when Swami is scolding you. That He doesn’t like. Simply pray to Him. That is the second caution he told me.
And third thing he told me was, “When He says anything, do it implicitly, immediately, don’t delay,” and gave me his own example. It seems Swami wanted him to come to His room one day in Brindavan. This gentleman Rama Brahmam was holding flask in his hands, thermos flask. So he kept it aside in a separate room and reported to Swami.
“Swami, You called me?”
Swami said, “Not now, I called you then. You should have come immediately. But you have taken time to keep the flask in a separate room and took time to come to Me. No, I called you then, not now.”
This Rama Brahmam told me and he said, “When Swami says anything, you should do it immediately. You should not take time. You should never delay and Swami will be very much upset with you,” and narrated his experience. .........More ......... www.saiwisdom....
