February 23, 1993
Bhagavan was telling the students about how much time He had spent with the 12th class students during the interview that He had blessed them with in the morning. Swami said:
Swami: I spent 2 hours with the XII class boys today morning. I told them that there is too much talk. Boys must not talk much. By talking much, you loose memory power. Talk less; it is good for you. See, I gave them diamond rings. (Swami showed everybody a couple of rings that He had created for 2 boys.) They got good marks - 90% and 100%. That is why Swami presented them with the rings - diamond rings. Where will you get such things? Parents also cannot give you this - free education and free rings! (Jokingly)
Swami: (Then looking at some of the elders) Why do you not ask them what they saw today morning? They saw the Kohinoor diamond! (Bhagavan then asked the boys to show the others the size of the diamond, which they promptly did). Where did the diamond go?
As the boys kept telling that, it had vanished,
Swami: Yes. It went back into Swami’s hand. It went back to where it had come from. (Swami then took a kerchief and explained) See this? Where is the kerchief? It is in Swami’s hands. In Swami’s hands means Swami’s hand is bigger, kerchief is small. That way – everything is in Swami’s hand.
Swami: (To the students) How many boys are going for Engineering? A few boys raised their hands
Swami: How many boys are going for Medical?
A few more raised their hands.
Swami: How many boys are coming to Kodaikanal? (This time all the boys raised their hands!) Not so easy sir, not so easy. Everybody wants to come. But, it is not so easy.
A little later…
Swami: Boys keep saying that they are discussing the subject. There is no discussion on subject at all. You forget the subject also and go after the object.
