At 6.00 p.m., Swamishri departed from Bharuch by car to go to Sankari. About 50 km from Surat, the car engine's diesel pipe broke and the exhaust pipe started spewing black smoke. After enquiring from a couple of auto-shops by the roadside, the proprietors said they did not have a diesel pipe. A further 4 km down the road, near the village of Sava Patiya, Swamishri's car was brought to a halt by a shop - Jalaram Electrical Sales and Services. A youth came running out of the shop. He folded his hands and said Jai Swaminarayan to Swamishri. The attendant sadhus of Swamishri showed the broken diesel pipe to the youth. The youth briskly brought a new pipe from a neighbouring shop alongwith a Keralian auto-engineer. The repair work began. The satsangi youth's name was Vikramsinh. He was an assistant co-ordinator of the local Satsang mandal. Vikramsinh was simply wonderstruck to find Swamishri's car before his shop. A little while later Shardulsinh Vasi, a hotel owner, was introduced to Swamishri. Then a man came running to Swamishri. He fell at Swamishri's feet and offered panchang pranams and told his son to bow down too. "Bapa! Bapa!" he said, "I have had your darshan several times, but it was always from afar. This is the first time in my life that I am doing your darshan this close." And so saying the devotee was overwhelmed with tears and choked with emotion.

"What is your name?" Swamishri asked.

"Navnitbhai Lad. I am a satsangi and live in the nearby village of Velachha. Vikramsinh comes to our Satsang mandal and sadhus from Surat visit my village too."

Swamishri then sat for a while on a garden swing with Thakorji outside Shardulsinh's hotel. Then Swamishri sanctified his hotel and sprinkled flower petals in a few adjacent shops. On reaching Vikramsinh's shop, Swamishri entered with Thakorji and sprinkled petals on his garage tools. Vikramsinh was extremely happy at Swamishri's unexpected grace and blessings. Shardulsinh then revealed, "After becoming a satsangi, Vikramsinh has changed for the better. Before, two-three years ago, he was rowdy and violent."

When the car was repaired, Swamishri blessed the Keralian mechanic and everyone and left for Sankari. Swamishri arrived in Sankari at 8.55 p.m.

Everyone felt that the car had stalled because Swamishri had wished to bless Vikramsinh, Shardulsinh, Navnitbhai Lad and others. The grace and compassion of the Satpurush is unfathomable.
