In 1943, I was working in Bengal in a Government Depot of rice and flour. My superiors wanted to mix rotten rice and wheat full of worms and make money through black business. My friend and myself did not wish to sell this poison to our compatriots. It was the time when millions of men were dying because of famine and unhealthy food. Our disobedience offended our officers. My friend was dismissed and I was arrested under a false charge of theft.

In the prison I felt disappointed and asked myself: Is there not a God who could save me from the danger to which I am exposed?

At night I had a dream and I felt as if some divine presence was supporting me. Three days later I was let off on bail.

After a year, judgment was given in the court against me and I was condemned to two months’ imprisonment.

I made an appeal to the higher court. The Mother was informed about it. Every day she sent me her blessing flower as a token of her support for me. They said in Pondicherry that come what might I would be free without any punishment.

And indeed by the Mother’s Grace I was saved from the punishment which I did not deserve.
