Madhusudan Naidu recounts an instance where Swami refers to the scope for Divine intervention.
In this account by Madhusudan Naidu we see Swami ending up gifting sarees of different designs to a pair of sisters. Initially, he had wanted to gift them identical sarees. However, Swami utilises this opportunity to reveal the concept of Divine intervention. He says that when a man commits a mistake it is an opportunity for God. He does not want His creations to stray away from Him. So even when we err in our activities, God sees it as an opportunity to intervene on our behalf and bring us back into the fold of His eternal love.
True to the saying that Love lives by giving, Swami has been busy giving something or the other to the devotees, staff and students during this Kodai retreat. Shawls or cameras, diaries or money for marketing (as He calls ‘shopping’), His hands never cease to distribute tangible tokens of His love.madhusudan naidu
So also, on Mother's Day, after hosting a special lunch for all the mothers in honour of motherhood, He distributed sarees to the mothers assembled madhusudan naidu. As He approached two sisters whom He lovingly calls as 'Shakini and Dakini - the demonesses who are personal servitors of Mother Durga', He realised that though He wanted to give the sarees of the same shade and design, He ended up giving them different ones! Our meticulous Swami who is perfection personified made the seeming mistake not without a reason. In the evening, as both the sisters were wearing the sarees given by Swami, which were different, He came to them on His way to the dining hall and said, "Oh! I made a mistake by giving you different sarees, but not to worry. This mistake of mine is an opportunity for you, as I am going to give you two similar sarees again.madhusudan naidu muddenahalli See, when I make a mistake, it's an opportunity for you; similarly, when you make a mistake, it's an opportunity for Me! Man's adversity is God's opportunity!"
He said it all so simple as He glided past to dine with His devotees, and we are still digesting this dinner delicacy, the profound message!madhusudan naidu muddenahalli
