For some reason I wanted to share a experience which happened in late February of 2012.
Our family had gone to India to meet up with Baluswami Siddhar and after meeting with him returned back to Chennai and stayed at one of my father in law’s relatives building in a unit for
One day My Wife wanted to go for some shopping to pondy bazaar.( a commercial market place where all products are sold) No taxis would come as the road is very narrow so we took a auto. Going from Mylapore to pondy bazaar was RS 60.
After completing the shopping and my patience we decided to head back home. I asked several auto and each one quoted different pricing and reluctance to come as the distance was not much. I finally got one guy and he said Sir it will be Rupee’s 100.
I asked him how is it that while coming it was Rupee’s 60 and while going it’s 100?
He said sir, the roads are all one way and we need to go round about to get to the house. When I wasn’t convinced he then said again Sir, the price of the gasoline has gone up.
I asked him in the past few hours how much did the price go up?
I told him ok …. I have a proposal for you. If you do the right thing then I will pay you Rupees 100 but no cheating.
I guarantee you that we’re going to get all green lights from the start till we end up at the house but you can’t slow down to get the red light.
He said Sir, it’s next to impossible it’s rush hour and we’re bound to get red lights.
I said…. Let me tell you something which you’re not aware of I am not like your other customers. I am different!!!
He asked why?
I said today is your lucky day!!!
God is seated in your vehicle and everything I say will happen exactly like I say all Green lights.
I asked him are you ready?
He said ok Sir, we will see…..
When we reached home, The auto driver fell at my feet and said “ Sir,I have never seen anything like this in all my life “.
I don’t want any money from you except please bless me that you will always be with me.
I told him please don’t cheat anyone. Earn your living Honesty and paid him more than negotiated rate.
Believe in my words!!!!
Lots of love ❤️
Really felt very happy after reading about the taxi driver transformation. Don't know how I got to know about your blogspot but it surely is a blessing for me. I am in Nanganallur and when I was young, used to visit Puttaparthi and after marriage I could not participate in the Sai Samithi activities. I only read the Sai ashtothram on Thursdays. But feel blessed to read about Sai Ram in your blogspot. Thanks a lot
