The age 18 is considered as a milestone in everybody's life because that is when one transitions from being a child to being an adult - legally! But this is a change or transition that is accompanied by many upheavals, uncertainties and worries. What is the safest and best way to make this transition? It is to have Swami by the side - as a friend. Here is a special experience of my father as he transitioned from 17 to 18. Swami gave him a gift that he cherished and held dear all his life.
I am grateful to @Souljourns and Ted Henry for having captured this candid sharing by Mr. Balasubramanya in 2012. This is a very personal incident that happened in 1970, in Brindavan (Whitefield), Bangalore.
The incident also inspires us to have God as the friend to face any other change or transition in life as well.
