I was standing in my balcony an hour back, witnessing the beautiful full moon. Suddenly a story of old devotee came into my mind which I am sharing here with you all. Some years back I was at Dadas house in Allahabad. Only regular people were there and we all were having chai over different stories. Shanti ji, Maharaj jis old devotee from Allahabad shared her experience with Anandamayi Maa many years back. Maa was in the city and everyone was going for her darshan. Shanti ji also went with a mala/garland to offer her. She touched her holy feet offered mala around her neck, which Maa took off and put it back around Shanti jis neck as prasad. Saints in India do like this in general. After some time Maa said, Shanti, roz aakash ki aur thodi der dhyan kara kar. Dekh kitna sundar hai. ( Shanti, daily meditate for some time on sky. look how beautiful it is.) Shanti asked Maa, what are the benefits of it? (Maa iske kya laabh hain?) Sri Maa laughed at her question and replied lovingly, Ishwar ki anubhuti hoti hai, Hriday mae we prem roop mae virajman rahenge ( The presence of almighty is felt, Thy will reside in the hearts, in the form of love).......................................................... Maa was looking in the sky, with so much of love in her eyes. People around were deeply touched by her simple but very subtle teaching. There was depth in her voice. After sometime, Maharaj ji was in Allahabad. Shanti ji went to Dadas house in morning to offer lunch box to Maharaj ji cooked by her. Baba used it eat such food quickly which was prepared with so much of devotion and love. The moment she entered, Maharaj ji delightedly, like a child, pointed his finger in sky and said, Maa you should look at the sky daily. Whole scene was revised in Shantis mind. She broke down and fell into his feet and just cried out of devotion. After a moment she looked up and saw the roti in his mouth. He was enjoying his tiffin box like a kid. Baba just reconfirmed what Sri Maa said to her. Such a grace. All these saints and sages are very well connected to each other. After all they are not separate from each other. Just different forms and times but part of that infinite consciousness. They all are one. Like Maharaj ji said, Sab Ek..all are one. Love...Love...Love..
