If
the Master wants to do it, it'll be done, not the way we think of in
this world but in the spirit. It's in the invisible way that the Master
takes care of people. That's why the Indian people respect the guru,
the Master very much. They just love to see, to get just one glimpse
of the Master.
I know of one Indian Master Who passed away in
the 1940s and Who traveled by train when He was alive.
And one day a man was just on the right side of his train in the fields
doing farming. And the Master just looked out the window of his train
car at that moment. And the man happened to look up at the same time
just like that, for one second and then the train passed by. And three
days later the man died, and he saw the Master appear to him and take
him up before he died. And he told everyone around, "I saw Master
such and such appear. He has come now and He said he's going to take
me up."
And it happened that one of the Master's disciples
was beside the man and when he heard the description he said, "Is
He the one in this photo?" And the man said, "Yes." Just
one look and he got liberated.
In the Buddhist tradition, we also have many such stories.
For example, when he was alive the Earth Store Bodhisattva promised
that anyone who even heard his name he would take care of. So, the ways
of Bodhisattvas or Saints are limitless. It's impossible for us to judge
or understand or even realize them.
