Hazur’s Remarkable Memory

At times Masters reveal an unusual sense of recognition and understanding which draws the sangat closer to them. An incident during Maharaj Charan Singh’s visit in 1962 in United Kingdom is given by a satsangi from Swaziland:

Having had a severe toothache just before the Master’s arrival in England, I asked him whether satsangis should take aspirin or other medicine for the alleviation of pain. Maharaj Ji replied, “You asked that question before in a letter which I have not yet had time to answer.” This was true, but until that moment I had forgotten having asked this, as the letter had been written more than three months previously. Yet the Master, who receives more than 150 letters daily, about 4,000 between the first and second asking of this question, not only remembered the inquiry but also the person who had asked it, whom he was physically meeting for the first time. This so staggered me that I nearly missed the answer! Maharaj Ji continued that there was nothing against taking aspirin or other medicine. If they relieved the pain, they were meant to do so, but if the pain was written in one’s karma and was therefore inescapable, no medicine on earth would be effective.
