This happened to me when I was in mayapur. I was there for the guru puja. My turn came and I offered flowers to gurumaharaj. Maharaj kindly gave me prasadam and I went to the side and finished prasadam. Suddenly I realised that the queue for matajis was very small. My greedy propensities surfaced up and I thought of having some more prasadam for my family members. I went in the queue for the second time. But this time I had no flowers to offer. I just motioned my hands in a way as if offering flowers and spread my palms in front of gurumaharaj for Prasad. He didn’t look at me while I was pretending to offer flowers. But when I asked for Prasad he also responded by just a motion as if he is giving me Prasad. His hands were empty! I was so shocked and ashamed as I realised I was trying to cheat my own spiritual master. I sat there and started crying. I explained everything to him and begged forgiveness. He mercifully glanced at me and gave handful of prasadam.
