Ramadasa swami bhikshtana lela - 2.

SadhGuru's words will never go wrong                               

As usual one day, Ramadas Swami goes out to take Biksha. His way of asking for  Biksha is chanting Lord Rama's name  aloud.One fine day he chooses a house to take Biksha, stands before that house and starts chanting Lord Rama's name aloud.None respond from the house! Swami doesn't stop here, He continuously chants Rama's name with a higher voice as, He Knew there is somebody at home but not ready to attend Him.What can be hidden from a Guru after all!

 Finally, the women of the house annoyed with Swami comes out with frustration and says to Swami with a irritated tone, " We are no more doing any rituals. We have stopped doing all pooja and deity worship  as well.You may leave now". Swami asks her what was troubling her and what her problem was. But, she refuses to answer Him and gets back inside the house. 

Ramadas Swami again starts chanting Rama's name with a very high pitch and non-stop.This time she was forced to offer biksha to Swami. She brings some raw rice, offers to Him as Biksha and talks to  Swami in anger,  " My husband had been imprisoned.We have no trust in God any more. What is the use of doing so many poojas, when the one who has to protect is watching everything in silence!"

Swami listens  to her and asks her, " Would you start believing in God and involve yourself in Pooja and other rituals again if your husband returned within 10 days?". She agrees happily as, what else would she want other than her husband's release.But, immediately she expresses a doubt with anger, 'How could this be possible?There is no chance for his freedom".Swami consoles her and tells her again that he would be set free within 10 days for sure and asks her to confirm that, on her husband's return will  she take Rama's name daily with faith  and devotion? She agrees  she would chant Rama's name with devotion if her husband is set free.Swami leaves that place chanting Lord Rama's name aloud.

To the lady's surprise her husband gets released exactly on the 10 day!There was no bound for her happiness!She completely trusts Ramadas Swami now and  developed unshaken faith and devotion towards Him.She waits for Swami's arrival daily for many days with faith.A Guru will definitely be forced to visit His devotee if He is called out with faith and patience. Ramadas Swami was pleased with her devotion and visits her house for biksha. With love  and devotion the couple invite Swami inside and cherish the divine moment.

Later part of her life, the lady surrenders herself to Guru and Guruseva till her last breath.
