This remarkable experience set me thinking. I said to myself, “I will see Swami in the manager I am about to meet and see how it goes.” I must admit though that my previous visits warned me to prepare myself for another round of patronising behaviour. Thankfully, my belief in Bhagavan got the better of me. With renewed resolve I decided to treat the manager as if he was Swami and filled my heart with love. I also prayed earnestly to Swami to dispel any negative thoughts that I may have had of the manager.
While I had this little session in my mind, the manager had completed the call after which I entered his cabin and wished him. He gladly wished me back. I immediately knew Swami was at work! More surprises followed, he even offered me a seat. Now, he had never done that in the past one year! I then went on to explain to him that I was there to request him to arrange exit visas for myself and my wife. He asked me for some papers which I handed over to him.
He went through them and asked me for one more document. The entire conversation so far had been very friendly till I realized that I had not brought that particular piece of paper he had asked of me. With some trepidation as to how he would react, I told him that I did not bring along that one document.
His reaction to this was something I could not have imagined even in the wildest of my dreams. The manager continued to be polite to me and said, 'No problem, bring that paper on Saturday and we will get you the visa. It will take just one day. Do not worry'.
Since this was my first conscious attempt to see Swami in a person whom I had so far seen as a displeasing person, I had somehow forgotten about my resolve to see him as Swami during our conversation, but obviously He had not. It took a couple of minutes before it dawned on me that the entire experience had only 'Swami' written all over it. He had, as always, stood by me and converted what could have otherwise been an irksome interaction into a good-natured and positive meeting.
When I think of it again, I’m reassured that it isn’t a complicated, long-drawn-out conversation we need to have with Swami. On the contrary, we need just a small moment of complete faith and a sincere prayer to set things right for us. We need to believe in the power of His Love that we too can radiate if we seek to attune ourselves to Him constantly. The power of God and the power of Love are synonymous. If there is nothing impossible for God, so it is for pure Love too.
