A young, poor boy had met with an accident in Valsad during mid-December.
He was hospitalized at the Mahavir General Hospital in Surat. A week later, when
Swamishri arrived in Surat, he remembered the ailing boy. Swamishri expressed
his wish to visit the boy. Immediately, all the requisite arrangements of transport
and appointment to the hospital were made.

As Swamishri's car arrived, both sides of the road to the hospital were excavated for a new water line. Because of the narrow road, Swamishri's car could not go any further.
Subsequently, Swamishri walked the distance of 100 to 150 meters during the late busy morning hours.

Swamishri walked along the narrow uneven footpath,
between the shops and the excavated road, with the support of attendant sadhus.

Swamishri came to the thin boy's bedside in an ICU ward of the hospital.
The boy's head was bandaged and IV fluids were supplied through a catheter in his arm. Swamishri gently placed his hand on the boy's head and greeted him,
"Prashant, Jai Swaminarayan..." And then garlanded the boy and also placed sanctified flowers on his chest and head. Prayers were then offered for Prashant's quick recovery.
Swamishri reassured Shantilal, the boy's father, not to hesitate in asking for any help required.
