Heart to Heart

When Maharaj Ji prepared to leave Washington on June 15, Mr Weekley voiced the feelings of all the satsangis who had gathered to say good-bye:

“Maharaj Ji, we can never repay you for all the gifts you have bestowed on us by your coming.”

“I am not leaving this place empty-handed,” the Master said quite seriously. “The beautiful smiles, the laughter, the love they have given me – I will need extra luggage to carry this back to India with me.”

One evening in October 1988, we were with Maharaj Ji. Losses due to the floods at the Dera were on everyone’s mind, and Mrs Bharat Ram asked Maharaj Ji, “What was the loss to the Dera because of the floods? It is said to run into millions of rupees.”

Maharaj Ji’s reply was typical of his attitude towards human beings as opposed to money. He said: “Behenji, I only know that there was no loss of human life in the Dera. That concerns me the most.”
