15. Power of Clairvoyance
Is soon as he had finished his meal, Shrimad went to visit the magistrate Dharshibhai, who was glad to see this bright young boy again. He warmly welcomed him. Shrimad asked : "Do you have any connection with my uncles?"
Dharshibhai asked him for the reason behind the question. "I am asking you with good reason."
Dharshibhai replied that, while he had no direct relation with them, he knew of some intrigue in which they were involved. With this reply, Shrimad warned Dharshibhai to be very careful and explained his uncles' evil intentions.
Dharshibhai immediately asked him to explain how he knew. Shrimad explained how his uncles had behaved so strangely on hearing of his arrival into Rajkot with Dharshibhai. He also explained how he knew that they were planning to "Sort him out!"
When Dharshibhai asked why they would say such things in front of him, Shrimad explained that they had presumed that a ten-year-old would understand nothing and that they could speak openly in front of him.
Hearing all this and seeing Shrimad's purity of purpose, Dharshibhai's respect for Shrimad grew even more. He felt very fortunate to have met such a wonderful boy, who had now saved his life.
The two men, Hemrajbhai and Malshibhai, who had set out so early from Kutch to meet him, were approaching Rajkot. Shrimad sensed them coming. He turned to Dharshibhai and asked : "Two men are on their way here from Kutch. Can they stay here with you ?" Dharshibhai was only too glad to do anything to help Shrimad.
Shrimad had a great sense of etiquette. These two men had come such a long way to meet him and so must be treated as his guests, which is why he made arrangements for them to spend the night in Rajkot. Shrimad knew the direction from which they were coming and so headed out to greet them. When they saw a boy walking towards them, Hemrajbhai and Malshibhai climbed down from their camel. Shrimad greeted them: "Welcome Hemrajbhai. Welcome Malshibhai."
