Who Did You Call?


Shakuntala Sah of Nainital once went to Mirzapur with Maharaj for the darshan of Vindhyavasini Devi. After a few years passed, she took her father to have Vindhyavasini Devi's darshan. While taking a bath in the Ganges, her father desired to have a swim. In his youth he had been a good swimmer, but he had become old. She forbade him and pleaded with him, but he could not resist his desire to swim. He went under water. With great effort, he resurfaced, and Shakuntala was stunned to see his desperate look. He went under again right before her eyes. In her helplessness she remembered Baba and cried out, "Maharaj, Maharaj." In the meantime a man standing nearby jumped in the water with his clothes on and dragged her father out of the water. After some treatment, her father recovered. They wanted to give something to the man to thank him, but he had disappeared and even after enquiries, could not be found. Shakuntala returned to Nainital and told Baba the whole story. Then she said, "Who was that man?" Baba said indifferently, "Keep quiet. Your work is done. Who did you call at that moment?"
