Compassion-Healing Power

Shardul was a new disciple in the Adelaide Sri Chinmoy Centre during the 1980s. Before he came to the path, he had been involved in a series of serious accidents and had undergone various operations to keep him alive. One day a disciple let me know that he had gone into the hospital to have an operation. I thought it best to visit him and discover what his treatment was, so as to let Guru know. A metal rod, inserted during a previous operation, had been removed from his arm and the wound would not stop bleeding. Shardul is quite a joker, and during my visit, despite his condition, continued joking and laughing with me. At one point he was laughing so much that he fell out of bed onto the floor. I was shocked and begged him please to be careful or he would kill himself. He only laughed and mentioned his ‘use by' date was not yet up. When I arrived home, I phoned New York to let Guru know about his condition and the fact that the bleeding would not stop. That was about half an hour after I had seen him in the hospital. The next day I phoned to check his progress. His bleeding stopped exactly thirty minutes after my visit. Guru's compassion-healing power had travelled swiftly over the ocean to save him.
