Words of Consolation

Ramana Rao, receive Blessings. I am counting minutes to come at the earliest and cajole the family of Prasada Rao, that is immersed in great sorrow. But due to vagaries of time, some obstacles are coming in this regard. I wanted to come at least in the car. But everybody objected saying that it is a distance of 500 miles; and therefore, a time-consuming and tedious journey. After the agitations are subsided, I shall come as soon as possible.

About Prasada Rao, I am unable to write anything. I shall talk and clarify everything when I come over there. Who is capable of evading fate? It was destined before. But Swami knew everything, and therefore called him earlier to Bangalore and cautioned him in advance, indirectly. He had accepted everything in his stead. I had infused lot of courage into him. In a worldly sense, he was like a heart to the Andhra Pradesh Seva Organisation. He was all the while laughing and making others laugh, encouraging them to discharge duties properly. He had a good heart. Goodness of the good people is known by the way they die. It is a direct evidence. It is natural that their family is immersed in sorrow. Convey to them that I shall come at the earliest and provide them necessary courage and fortitude. I wanted to come that day itself, but it was not a proper time. Preachings will not go into hearts at a time when relatives and friends visit in thousands to pay homage. Tell his sons that I will be coming as soon as possible. If it is not possible by plane, I shall visit at least in the cars.

This is my duty.

Baba

I wrote this in a hurry, because Sathya Moorthy told me he is proceeding to Tirupathi right now.
