“Your” will be Done!

X's son Nikhil came here to study in our School. Mother knew X very well and she also liked the boy. Nikhil was eager to stay here but not against the wishes of his father.

Now, he was the only son and his mother could not live without him; so the father wired that Nikhil should come back home. Mother asked me to wire back as follows: “Wiser leave Nikhil here. Take no hasty decision. Listen to your soul. Awaiting your reply. Blessings, Mother.”

But the father decided to take away the son. Seeing Nikhil thus helpless. Mother asked me to wire to the father: “Let your will be done, and not the Divine's will. My love and blessings will remain with you.—1.6.1965.”

Later when the father asked for permission to come, Mother had me wire: “Mother permits your coming but she will definitely not talk about your son.”

You may wonder why Mother acted in this way. Even though the parents had taken the child away against her wishes, still the gracious Mother granted the father an opportunity to meet her. Only she refused to talk about the child. This refusal can be understood in two ways: first she would not comment on it and second she would not give him a clear explanation.
