The incarnate of love When a bereaved mother came and broke down before Sri Sri Thakur, Sri Sri Thakur felt the mother’s pang so much that he also started wailing. When the mother saw Sri Sri Thakur’s miserable condition, which was becoming worse with every passing moment, the mother started consoling Sri Sri Thakur. The mother then started to reason with Sri Sri Thakur and prayed to contain his grief. She felt that, she has lost a son, but she has another son that was Sri Sri Thakur. Sri Sri Thakur was near and dear to every one’s heart. Sri Sri Thakur’s love for every body made him to work for everybody’s betterment. His love for others was never at the level of feeling and emotion; it was always at the level of action. There were so much of feelings and the way Sri Sri Thakur communicated that feelings, everybody felt as if Sri Sri Thakur exclusively belonged to him. He really did things by which people can be benefited; their destiny can be altered; new vistas get opened up before them; life takes a wing of joy and success. With an excuse for our ability to understand him, let me put it forth that Sri Sri Thakur always appeared to be pragmatic, purposeful and down to earth in his approach. When Sri Sri Thakur was at Pabna, some of his household items were lost in theft. One day, he was talking to some people and he came out with arguments in favour of theft. The tenor of his argument was that a thief commits wrongdoing out of compulsion. People, who are well do to, do not usually think about others who are deprived. Even if the needy people would beg, no body would oblige them. Then the only path left for them is to resort to theft. Having listened to Sri Sri Thakur’s genuine sympathy even for thieves, the one who committed theft felt so guilty that privately he confessed his wrongdoing to Sri Sri Thakur and returned some of the items he took away. Those items he already sold away, he said he would pay up the value for those items. He became Sri Sri Thakur’s friend. For some time, he was still committing theft, while associating with Sri Sri Thakur. One day Sri Sri Thakur accompanied him while he was on his act of stealing. From that day onwards, he gave up his stealthy habit. A stream of ‘love and service’ was perennially flowing out of Sri Sri Thakur. Whoever got an opportunity to bathe in that stream, was transformed beyond recognition. There was magic in the air surrounding Sri Sri Thakur. Whoever came to Sri Sri Thakur felt empowered. One of the feelings that normally come to the disciples of Sri Sri Thakur is that, ‘I am powerful, because I am His offspring. He would work through me’. Who can love all without discrimination and take positive steps for the welfare of all, may be without explicit knowledge of the beneficiary, if he is not the Creator himself? In fact, Sri Sri Thakur was feeling that every thing in the creation was the extension of his own self. The affinity between Sri Sri Thakur and with rest of the creation was natural and organic. Sri Sri Thakur was seen to identify himself with others and his interest was others’ interest.
