Divine Inspirations Untold of Powers Please ask everybody to halt. No sooner had Swami Gunatitanand uttered these words, his command streaked lightning fast through the group of disciples that was accompanying him. Hit by surprise, each devotee stared at the other in a state stained by a slim stigma of hesitation. A flurry of questions and murmurs broke out. Why does Swami ask us to stop here? Out of all places why this one? While journeying to a nearby town Swamiji and his following had traversed barren lands, green luscious grasslands and were now into the thickets of forest. Worse still was the area they were in now. Just in their path lay a most sickening sight a dead cow its flesh horridly torn by the pecking of vultures and clawing of animals. The carcass infested with worms squirming in and out of its decaying meat gave off a revolting reek. Repulsive and nauseating! And this is where, right before the dead animal, Swami had asked all to stop. There is little wonder why many questioned the stoppage. Compelling themselves to stand still, the devotees with their breaths held back, noses pinched tightly or pressed by a loose end of their clothing waited for Swamiji to arrive. The stench was all around them, growing stronger second by second. Just then Swamiji caught up with them. He exchanged a glance of wisdom and depth. While everyone impatiently hung on for the revelation Swamiji hid it behind a soft smile. Then, in a flicker, as speedily as he had called for the bizarre halt, he revealed the message. Pointing at the repulsive remains of the putrefying cow Swamiji said, This is how the infinite universes would stink if I were to withdraw my powers. This said, Swamiji picked up his pace and gait, leaving the devotees lost in his words and charisma. There was not a slenderest impression of self-praise. His words were Truth, naked Truth, unclothed and striking, humbly spoken and humbly believed. On this rare occasion, Swamiji, exposed a seed of Truth which the devotees readily planted in their hearts. And with every step they took from then onwards they watered it with faith. They had begun to grow spiritually.
