Money and Papers

You will always gete money if you really need it
When I went to my second puja with Shri Mataji in Eastborne, England, I did not have any money, and I had decided to make the trip to England with an overdraft on my account.

“If you are really want to go you will somehow get the money for it,” said my friends. As I came home from England and opened the letterbox, I found a letter from my landlord. At first I got a shock because I thought I had to pay back a lot of money, but after reading the letter carefully I saw that for years I had paid too much money and now I was getting back a sum of 10,400 Austrian schillings, which was exactly the amount I had spent on going to England.

Misterious ‘hedge clause’ saved from bankruptcy
When I first came to Sahaja Yoga in the 1980’s, I was a member of a business partnership which had invested in a small passenger aircraft. We had got into difficulties due firstly to a recession, and secondly because of the bankruptcy of the company which had leased the plane from us. Then the Australian dollar dropped 30% against the American dollar, and as our loan was in US dollars we immediately owed another million Australian dollars. We seemed completely doomed and at this point I prayed to Shri Mataji to help. I surrendered the whole problem to the divine.

Within a couple of days, I received a call from our lawyer, saying the finance company who had provided the loan had unexpectedly found a ‘hedge clause’ in the loan documentation. This was an insurance against currency fluctuation. We were very surprised, because when we had taken out the loan the Australian dollar had been so stable it had been considered unnecessary. We double checked, and found that none of the twenty or so other virtually identical aviation partnerships that had been set up at that time by the same company had a hedge clause – so why ours?

Anyway within days our fortunes were reversed because our debt was reduced by a million dollars, and we almost immediately found an airline who leased our plane at a very high monthly fee. Within one year were well out of trouble, and even had a lavish dinner to celebrate our ‘windfall’. To this day no one knows how the ‘hedge clause’ found its way into the documentation.

Miracle with Shri Mataji`s passport
For four years, I would get Shri Mataji’s visas for all her journeys. She spends a lot of time travelling, so this can be quite a tricky job. There were not many pages left in the passport and it was about to expire. In a few weeks She was due to leave for Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and then India for a while. It was September and I went to the India High Commission in London with the required official letter requesting a new passport or at least some new pages.

To my surprise, the consul was absolutely adamant. No way could he possibly give new pages, as there were still two left. She would have to apply in India and not only for the pages but for a new expiry date.

At the beginning of October, I reluctantly told Shri Mataji that the renewals would have to be done in India, although I knew it was awkward for Her. So She left for India. I forgot all about the passport until December of that year, when I was in India tour at Ganapatiphule. Shri Mataji announced that there had been a miracle with the date in Her passport. I could not quite follow what She meant.

Again I forgot about it all until Shri Mataji returned to the UK in April and once more the passport was in my hands. Imagine my amazement when I saw that it had been renewed by the Indian High Commission in London in September with a nice new set of fresh pages and signed by the very gentleman (in September) who had refused to do it. I could not believe my eyes.

That passport had been in my hands all through August and September, whenever Mother had been in the UK, so I know that it was absolutely impossible for anyone there to have got it done.

Telephone box spewing out money
We were preparing Shri Mataji’s visit to Belgium in 1985. From a telephone box, I telephoned to London to Shri Mataji to ask for some details about Her trip. At one point She spoke some beautiful and totally unexpected words of encouragement:
“You are My eyes, My arms, hands,” She said. Suddenly, the phone was interrupted as it ran out of money. I had to change paper money and got about fifteen Belgian twenty franc pieces, about twelve dollars. I rang back, Mother came on line again and made some comment about how phones take all your money.

After the conversation, I put the phone down. To my great surprise, like a jackpot in a slot machine, the phone released an avalanche of Belgian twenty franc coins. Non-stop, a continuous steam of coins came out and I had to hold my hands together in order to catch them all. It was against all the normal laws of nature and definitively not how phone boxes operate in Belgium. It was an incredible and immediate confirmation that when we work for Shri Mataji and use our own money, the rewards do not fail to come to us quickly.
