Absence From Baba's Durbar

Even after the construction of Hanumanghar in Nainital, Baba often stayed at the small ashram in Bhumiadhar when he came to the hills. Devotees gathered there day and night to see him. Nandan Mai used to go from Nainital to Bhumiadhar to see Baba every day. At one point she could not go for three consecutive days. When she arrived at Bhumiadhar on the fourth day, she saw Baba surrounded by a large crowd of devotees. She silently greeted him in her heart from a distance. He said, "I have got your three days absence marked in the attendance register of God in heaven above. I cannot have pity on you and mark you present when you have been absent for three days." She was speechless when she heard these words and was surprised to know that in spite of a busy routine, Baba was aware of a devotee's absence. Then she realized that there is no difference between a saint and God. If a person is absent from a saint's durbar, they are absent from God's durbar as well.
