In the Guise of an Attendant |
|
|
M.B. Lal, who Baba called Ramesh, worked with Prem Lal in the Titagarh Paper Mill in Lucknow. When he found out that Baba was in Kanpur, he went to
have darshan and stay with Baba for a few days.
However, his
daughter Dolly, who was a student in Standard X at the Loretto Convent,
had an examination fee that was past due. While Lal roamed about Kanpur
with Baba, he was worried that the unpaid fees might prevent his
daughter from appearing for her exam. Baba read his thoughts.
When
Baba left Kanpur, Lal returned to Lucknow. As soon as he arrived at his
house, he went to his daughter's school to pay the fee. The
headmistress knew him and asked him the reason for his visit to the
school. Apologising for the delay, he told her that he had come to pay
Dolly's fees. She told him that an old man paid his daughter's fees on
time, four days earlier. The man had been asked to take a receipt, but
he would not wait, saying, "I do not require it."
Hearing this and remembering Baba, Lal started to cry.
