Swami made my day

the day began with a very pleasant weather. i got up early, went for suprabhatam (after a fortnight), checked my mails in college and continued the routine stuff. i was very optimistic Swami will bless me and was getting good signs around as well.
i bunked the afternoon class session so that i could prepare my birthday tray. i reached Mandir well in advance to get a better seat.Fortunately,i happened to be the only birthday boy that day.
All the while, i was nervous and apprehensive as this would be my last birthday celebrated before Swami. And hardly on any previous occasion did Swami bless me on my birthday. Thus,i sat praying earnestly to Swami.
He came, not in chair but in car and there i lost the first opportunity of getting blessed. He got down and proceeded to the interview room. Thirty minutes later he came out and moved in the verandah. i was relieved as now i'd get the chance. No sooner did he proceed towards the boys' section than he asked to be turned back. i was broken. is this the same fate this year? He went towards the interview room and lo! he comes back again! this time He came straight to the portico and called me. i went towards Him with the tray and showed it. He took the letter and gave a good look. generally, i don't make designs, but this time i made some borders on the envelope and wrote "To the best mom in the world". he gave me an amused smile. i said " Swami, mera final year MBA hai" His reply was "Chaalu (fine)" He took the akshatas from my tray and put them on my head. i took His padanamaskar and came back.
As i sat, he took the envelope, tore its edges and opened the letter. it was very unusual since i did not close the envelop. he read it and looked at me.
All my desires, aspirations wishes, were fulfilled in those 20 minutes.i was the happiest man on Earth. i never prayed so desperately before. later did i realise that few weeks back in a drama, i had told before Swami that our prayers must be so intense as that of a drowning man gasping for breath. He was nodding and smiling all the while. He knew i would be that drowning man on june 27th. i can't thank Swami enough for, i never deserved such blessings. but then, if he counted on deservedness, i wouldn't be a Sai student in the first place.
