Swami in Croatia One year during the vacation
period, Swami asked a Greek lady to address the gathering. This
lady happens to be a doctor, actively involved in Sai service. One
of her service campaigns was in Croatia, then torn by war and
conflict. She organised a volunteer group and took it to Croatia
for rendering assistance to the war victims. The members of the
group distributed packets containing food, medicines, clothing,
and along with these, a small photo of Swami. Recalling the
service experience, the doctor said, "The people were very happy
that we had come to help them. One of the people there held up
Baba's photo and said, 'We know this person'. I was very surprised
and asked, 'How do you know Him? Have you heard about Him?' They
replied, 'No, we have actually seen Him here.' I was astounded and
asked, 'Seen Him? Here in Croatia? And what was He doing here?'
They said 'Just what you are doing; distributing food, blankets,
and medicines.' I was stunned." After the electrifying narration
was over, one of the devotees present remarked, "Swami this is
absolutely extra-ordinary!" Swami replied, "For you it is
extra-ordinary but for Me, this quite ordinary and routine." A
hush descended on the audience - naturally.
