“Every cloud has a silver lining, Banu. The period of adversity is over; believe my words. Your devil lady is going to become a dependent on you from tomorrow. I can’t say more than this. Come with me.” Ramana comforted her.

As she was at the zenith of despondency, Banu thought that he comforted to soothe her mental anguish.

Ramana advised her:” Banu, I request you to go to the temple dedicated to Lord Muruga and pray sincerely. After an hour, go home. A miracle will welcome you.”

After an hour, Banu returned home where she was told that her aunt met with an accident and admitted in the Government hospital for treatment.

Banu hurried to the G.H. to see her aunt where her aunt was lying on the bed crying out of pain and found a nurse scolding her.

By dint of her paternal uncle she came to know that some enemy entered her kitchen and attacked her eyes with sharp instrument so as to make her blind.

In the next hour she was taken to the Majuro Hospital where the doctors, after examining her eyes, declared that she won’t see the world hereafter as the optic nerve was snipped away.
