Driving On a Damaged Hill Road |

As Commissioner Prakash Kishan was about to return to Nainital one evening
after having Baba's darshan,
Baba asked him to send a car for him the following day so that he could
go to Nainital. At 8 a.m. the next morning the commissioner sent his
driver and car to get Maharaj. When he arrived at his office at 10
a.m., he learned that heavy rain had damaged the Nainital-Bhowali Road
and that it was closed to traffic. He became concerned because his car
had not returned, so he went to see the place where the road was
damaged to search for his car. The damage, however, extended for such a
distance that only a two-wheel vehicle could pass through. He did not
see his car in any ditch, but he worried about it all day.
Meanwhile
the commissioner's driver had gone to Kainchi and driven Baba to
Nainital by the same route. Baba visited some devotees' houses and then
returned to Kainchi on the same road. At 4 p.m. Baba asked the driver
to take the car back. The driver arrived at the commissioner's house by
traveling on that very road. When the commissioner saw him, he asked,
"Which route did you follow? The Nainital-Bhowali Road has been closed
since last night." Astonished, the driver replied that he had passed
along that road four times, back and forth, that day and had not seen
any landslides or places where the road was washed away or damaged.
