On the 20th of August, 2016, in Sarangpur, a beautiful and touching moment unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed it. During a gathering, Mahant Swami Maharaj was blessing the devotees who had gathered with devotion and love. Among them was a devotee named Shyamal Bhai, holding his young son, Jitendra, in his arms.
As Swamishri placed his gentle hand on Jitendra’s head, blessing him with boundless love, the little boy, in his pure innocence, reached out his tiny hands to bless Swamishri in return. Shyamal Bhai, a bit embarrassed, quickly moved to pull his son’s hand down, but what happened next was truly heartwarming.
With a kind and encouraging smile, Swamishri looked at the little boy and stood patiently, allowing and even encouraging him to give his blessing. In that simple gesture, Swamishri imparted a profound lesson—humility is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it is a strength, an ability to recognize the divinity within everyone, even a small child.
This moment reminds us that true humility allows us to see the goodness and potential in others, no matter who they are. Swamishri’s example inspires us to spread love, humility, and kindness in our own lives, just as he did in this touching exchange.
Let us cherish this memory and strive to emulate the qualities of kindness and humility in all our interactions, recognizing the spark of divinity that resides within each person we meet. Thank you for sharing in this beautiful lesson with us.
