Bhagawan has advised that when one feels the urge to do something that one’s mind indicates, one ought to forego, one should pause before acting. On the other hand, if one is moved by one’s Conscience or His Spirit to do something good for someone else, one should not hesitate. He will provide countless opportunities to put this principle into practice and with time, one can recognize the signs and act accordingly. Today, Bhagawan provided one such opportunity to a Sai young adult to ‘Be Alert / Be Aware’ of His presence among His flock at the Manna House in Huntsville, Alabama.

A homeless lady suffering from Breast Cancer burst into tears and said that she could not lift the boxes of food items she was given at Manna House because she was feeling weak. She lived several miles from the distribution centre, in a tent among other homeless individuals. She needed someone to take her home which was located near a freeway flyover. Seeing her in distress, Bhagawan within prompted the Sai youth to ask her if he could transport her and her food to her homeless camp. During the drive, the wise lady asked the Sai young adult if he enjoyed volunteering at Manna House and how often he did so. She also described how she would not be able to see her family over the holidays and how her mother had passed away a few months ago. The Sai youth felt great compassion for her in her predicament. When they arrived at the camp, a homeless gentleman helped the Sai youth with the boxes. The lady gave the youth a hug and told him that she had collected the items for the sake of not only herself but also her friends. The gentleman and lady expressed their heartfelt gratitude at the Sai youth’s gesture. What began as a selfless act to help one individual, with Bhagawan’s all-seeing guidance, became an opportunity to help a small community. The lady’s generosity was admirable and taught the Sai youth that Oneness can be learnt by observing the unselfish ways in which the homeless look out for one another’s needs. In spite of her physical and emotional difficulties, this lady trekked to a remote location to care for those individuals whom she loves, even though they were not her relatives.
