Many years ago, there lived a man, who worshipped God daily by praying to Him as well as including Him in everything he did. One afternoon, a friend visited him. As they sat for lunch, as usual the man offered the food to God and then started eating. Just then a beggar came to his door and said, "I am very hungry. Please give me the leftovers of your lunch."

    The man replied, "Sorry, I do not have enough food for myself. I won't have any leftovers to give you." As the beggar started turning away, the friend said to the man, "I thought you just offered the food to God before eating."

    The man said, "That's right."

    The friend then said, "Then you must be knowing that God is everywhere."

    The man was irritated, "What's your point?" The friend continued, "Then God is present in the beggar, too. When you don't share the food with him does it not mean that you are not offering the food to God completely?"

    The man had no answer and was grateful to the friend for teaching him how to see God in everything and in every situation. Joyfully, they offered some of the food to the beggar.

    That night, Afolabi's fever increased a lot and he was breathing heavily. As usual, I put on the audiocassette of Afolabi's chant (I have chanted this Name and recorded it on an audiocassette), which he listens to everyday before falling asleep. Soon, he fell asleep and later the audiocassette got over. I sat meditating next to him. Suddenly, he woke up with a jolt asking desperately for something. I asked if he was not being able to breathe properly, or needed water or to go to the bathroom, etc. But he waved it all off and kept asking for something. Finally, I asked him if he wanted me to chant his chant for him and he immediately nodded. Once I started doing so, he listened to it carefully and after a few minutes fell asleep.
