In several situations involving needy animals, Master
has shown me Her divine omnipresent power by immediately answering my
prayers.
The first such event occurred while I was living near a bird sanctuary.
One night I was awakened from a deep sleep upon hearing the distressed
calls of a little bird that lived in the field outside my garden. I
had seen this type of bird before and knew that they nested in the tall
grass that grew beside the nearby lagoon. The bird continued to make
the calls for about half an hour. Then I suddenly remembered that a
friend once told me about a bird living in his garden that had cried
the whole night for her lost chick. The next morning he found the baby
bird drowned in his pool.
Not wanting such a thing to happen to the bird in my yard, I began whole-heartedly
praying to Master, asking Her to guide the little birds back together
if they were lost and to calm them. Then instantly the atmosphere became
quiet and the bird never made another sound. I was deeply moved that
Master had helped the needy creature so quickly and felt that it was
a miracle to have a prayer answered as soon as it was uttered.
In a more recent case, while staying on my mother’s small farm
in South Africa, I again awoke to the cries of an upset animal coming
from afar. This time it sounded like a dog or jackal caught in a trap.
It was extremely dark outside as there was no moon so I woke my mother
up and asked her to help me search for the animal, which I believed
might be caught in a trap on the neighbor’s farm. After searching
for a while on foot we found nothing and decided to continue our search
by car. So we returned to the house and got my father to drive us up
to the local rubbish dump—the yelps seemed to be originating from
there.
We then scoured the area for nearly two hours in the dark before deciding
to give up. At this point the animal sounded more like a puppy and seemed
to be running to and fro over the nearby hill. Next my father and I
climbed into the car to leave, but my mother walked a little farther
up the hill and called for the animal one last time. Then as I sat in
the car I remembered how Master had answered my prayer by helping the
bird so I again prayed to Her and concentrated intently on my third
eye, saying, “Please, Master, guide the animal to my mother.”
After a while I looked up and asked my mother if she had found anything,
and she said, “Yes!” It was a tiny, pitch black puppy that
could not have been more than six weeks old. It was very small and yet
we had found it in the darkness of night in the bush. Only Master could
have helped us find the pup under such conditions!
I felt greatly overjoyed that another miracle had occurred. Again, I
had experienced an immediate response to a prayer and felt Master was
showing me that when we pray sincerely for the benefit of other sentient
beings She will answer us straight away. I also feel deeply moved by
the way She loves and helps animals unconditionally. Thank You, Master,
for being so loving and kind to our fellow creatures.
