87. A Holy Sight

A few days before her death, Ba's health suddenly seemed to take a turn for the better, as a result of the Ayurvedic treatment. But, ultimately it turned out to be a make-believe. However, one day Ba went in her wheeled chair to Mirabehn's room, where there was an image of the child Krishna. Bapu, who was at that time on his walk downstairs, observed this. He straightaway went upstairs. And, lo! there was Ba rapt in prayer! After some time when she opened her eyes and saw Bapu standing there, she smiled and teasingly said to Bapu, "What are you doing here? Please go and continue your walk." Whereupon Bapu smiled and resumed his walk.
