Swami is in the Witness state. I am born only to remove the Karmas of all. It is only in Mukthi Nilayam that the Kundalini Stupi is built, nowhere else in the world. I am transforming all in the world through the Prema I have for Swami. Mukthi Nilayam is special. Here there are only ten people; they do not mix with others and their different thoughts. There are a few thousand people living in Prasanthi Nilayam close to Swami. They are involved in many service activities, with no direct contact with Swami. Not only a thousand people, but every day many thousands of people come to Puttaparthi from all over India and the world. Their many different actions, feelings and thoughts fill the atmosphere.
In the early days, there were very few devotees around Swami; they enjoyed His nearness and direct contact. He performed marriages, named the children, performed important ceremonies in the family and looked after their education and other needs. He involved Himself in many aspects of their lives, still they had to face the suffering that was their due. Once, a devotee asked Swami about this and He said, “All is decided when you are born, I am only an instrument to see that it happens. I am only a witness.”
