One Ailment, Different Treatment |
|
|
One day Baba was sitting on a parapet
by the roadside when a sadhu named Balak came and
offered pranaam to him. Baba said to Balak, "What's
the trouble?"
Balak told him that he had been suffering from stomach pain since the
previous evening. Baba gave him some of the remaining water from the lota
(metal pot) that he used when washing. Balak drank this, and then Baba
made him run around. In a little while the pain subsided.
The
same day Pandit Mama also had pain in his stomach. Baba immediately got
him admitted to Ramsay Hospital in Nainital and sent his devotees to
enquire about his health throughout the day. A devotee asked Baba the
reason for according different treatment to Pandit Mama. In reference
to Balak, Baba said, "God takes care of the person who
has no
one to look after him. Pandit is a well-to-do man. He wants good
treatment and also expects others to express their sympathy for him."
