Darshan Line

Sometimes twice a day, sometimes more, when Baba is at an ashram
(Puttaparthi, Bangalore, Ooty or other) He walks by the seated crowds at dawn and dusk, accepting letters, materializing vibhuti or other objects, calling people in for interviews. In the evening, thousands of birds chatter in the trees as they too come for darshan. The saris of the women are a rainbow of infinite shades.

One woman handed Baba a letter and was heartbroken when He immediately
threw it back at her.. but later she realized that he had materialized
a reply to her letter on the paper she had handed Him.

A man held up a book his father D in Connecticut had written about Baba, hoping
Swami would touch it. But as Baba went further away, the man became
downcast. Suddenly like the Red Sea parting, all those between
Baba and this man parted. Baba came quickly toward him and touched
the book.. it became so hot the man could not hold it. Later
the shakti was also transmitted to the man's mother.

Another man who had often criticized Baba but had come along with his partner
for the trip... said about his first sight of Baba's light: "an ocean of joy swept
over me".

Darshan line is for those of great discipline.
