A devotee asks Guru Shyama Khyapa about an elderly woman who wept at his feet and said his blessing had given her a second birth after blindness. The devotee, addressed as Anirban, asks whether such a recovery is possible and how it happened. Guru Shyama Khyapa replies with a saying that the storm kills the crows while the fakir's miracle grows, leaving unresolved the episode's central question of whether a guru's blessing can restore sight.
Devotee:
Salutations, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Salutations.
Devotee:
Greetings to our viewers. Let’s begin today’s episode. Gurudev, there is something I am very curious to know. We saw an elderly woman come to you; she seemed quite aged. She told you, “Father, you have given me a second birth.” She meant that she was previously blind and couldn’t see, but through your blessings, her sight was restored. She was crying at your feet yesterday, saying she had found a new life. Gurudev, is this really possible? How did it happen? Please tell us.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, Anirban, there is a saying: “The storm kills the crows, and the Fakir’s (holy man’s) miracle grows.” Do you understand?
Devotee:
No, Gurudev.
