YESTERDAY
When I came into the Hall, I could see the agony you all felt. That
was because you identified Me with this body. That was having the illness.
If you had known My truth, You would not have been sad: in fact, if
you had known your Truth that would be enough. The illness came and
went: I was its master throughout one day. When it reached its climax
I was watching its behaviour and directing it to finish its Dharma.
For I had taken it on Myself and so I must allow it to do its Dharma!
All kinds of silly stories were circulated when I was ill! some people
feared that when I went to the South recently. Some black magic was
inflicted upon me and that the stroke was the consequence. Let me tell
you that nothing evil can affect Me. Nothing

Orders his commands,
his Aajna. If you are right on the path laid down by him, then you can
march boldly on,regardless of praise or blame. Do not doubt this
Lord’s resolve cannot
be hindered
Here I must tell you
something about Myself, like leaving a visiting card, here. My task
is not merely to cure and console, remove individual misery. It is something
far more important. Their important task of the mango tree is to produce
mango fruits. The leaves, the branches, and the trunk of the tree are
useful, in their own way, no doubt; but the main aim is the fruit. So
also from the plantain tree, the fruit is the main gain. The leaves
the edible core of the stem, these are all incidental. So too the removal
of misery and distress is incidental to My Mission.
My main task is the
re-establishment of Veda and Sastra in the heart of Bharathavarsha and
the revival of knowledge about them in the people. This task will succeed;
it will not be impeded by any obstacle. It will not be limited or slowed.
When the Lord decides and wills. His Sankalpa cannot be hindered: it
will not be hindered. You must have heard people say that mine
is all magic, black or white. Well, these people may also say
that Krishna lifted Govardhanagiri by means of black magic, or that
Rama built a bridge over the sea, by black magic!
Of course, there is
magic in the world both white and black: but, the manifestation of Divine
Power must not be interpreted as magic. Can the crow’s egg and the
cuckoo’s egg be identified as belonging to one class? Magicians play
their tricks for earning a livelihood. They use it for worldly fame
and wealth. They are based on falsehood and they thrive on deceit and
ignorance. This body can never stoop of that level. No; never. This
Body has come through Divine

To get up and prostrate
but could not do so as his right knee was dislocated due to the pressure
given. Swami instantly pulled my father’s large toe and lo! The ball
and socket joint got refixed! Swami instantly materialised a lime and
kept it under the pillow of my father. He materalised aTalisman and
put it round my father’s neck. He invited my father to go over to
Puttaparthi, the next day itself.
Swami
called my mother and others separately and said that a black magician
had done havoc to my father: on that Friday when my father went early
morning with bailiff and removed his shed put in our land at Guindy-
He also said, Dig the spot where you find broken pots and remove the
remains of goat and chicken etc and throw them off. Now he is fully
recovered but the aim of the sorcerer is to drive him mad and ultimately
kill him,
