After
the death of Badrivishal's father, the economic situation of the family
became serious and pitiable. According to Baba's instructions,
Badrivishal studied and passed his B.Sc. exam. He then gained admission
to K.R. College, Agra, for his M.Sc. During that period there was a
time when Badrivishal was very worried about his lack of money, and
finding no solution to his problems, he went in search of Baba. He went
to the house of a devotee at Rajamandi, Agra, where Baba often went. He
found out that Baba had been there about a month previously, but they
had not seen him since. Badrivishal was very disappointed.
Remembering
Baba in his heart, he prayed, "Gurudev! You are omnipresent and
omniscient. Have pity on me. Today I have come to meet you." Musing in
that way, he walked along the street back towards his home when he
heard someone running and shouting after him. It was a servant from the
devotee's house that he had just left. The servant said, "Maharaj has
just arrived and he has sent for you." Badrivishal returned to the
house and bowed before Baba. When Baba saw him, he said, "I
know you are short of money. Study hard. It will be arranged by
tomorrow."
When he arrived at college the next day, he was informed that his
scholarship grant had been received from the government, and he was
asked to take it that same day. Badrivishal later became a physics
lecturer at Pali Inter College, Shikohabad.
