An Interview with Sai Baba: "I see only Light and Love"

 

By PF Sloan

 

It was on my second visit to see Sai Baba that I was granted a

private conversation with Him. These are called interviews. Almost

everyday Baba would choose a group of people to talk to in a small

room. Baba chose all kinds of people from all walks of life and all

different countries. You couldn't make an appointment to speak with

Him. Presidents and movie stars. He did the choosing! Everyone

wanted this interview, but I was very frightened by the thought of

it.

 

Baba usually asked people, "What do you want?" and I really didn't

know. I knew I didn't want to be forced into a situation where I

would talk like a parrot out of fear and say "I want Enlightenment!

Enlightenment over good health or wealth." I didn't know what I

wanted. That night he came to me in a dream and said "I know you're

frightened, don't be. I will show you right now everything that will

take place in the interview. And I won't ask you any questions!" He

told me two people were flying in from Los Angeles, Dave and Barbra

Lambert. After they had been there for a few days, he would ask our

group in for a talk!

 

True to the dream - that's what took place.

 

I held the door open to His little room and let everyone in the

group go in first. It numbered around forty or so. I sat in the back

of the small room, hiding myself. He sat on a chair and sang a song

to us, 'Love is my Form, Truth is my name, Bliss is my food'. He

called me to come sit in front of Him. Then He asked me if I would

please massage His feet for Him. I began to gently massage His feet

while He told stories and asked questions of certain people. I

watched as He waved His hand and a gold pen appeared. He showed it

to me and asked if I liked it. I said it looked like good

workmanship. He agreed. He gave it to an Indian student that sat at

His left, and smacked him on the face. He `created' a packet of blue

pills that he threw to one of the ladies in our group. He told me

she didn't know it, but she was going to have terrible stomach pains

later in the day, and we should give her these pills along with

fresh mango. "After 3 days she will be alright", He told me. About

ten minutes after the interview, Jenny collapsed.

 

He invited a small group of 6 people, not including myself, to go

into another adjoining room. While the larger group waited, Baba

pulled open a curtain and we sat down in a smaller room. He sat on

an old chair, and this was where He usually asked people what they

wanted. The group, 3 women and 3 men, sat quietly. I suddenly

remembered this part in my dream that I had had with Baba. He was

staring at me like an impatient schoolteacher waiting for me to say

something!

 

I asked Baba, "May I ask you a question?" He said, "Yes, what is

it?" It looked like relief flashed across the expression on His

face. Like he was saying to me, "It's about time, Phil!"

"What do You see when You see me?", I asked.

 

Baba looked at all the people sitting there in a state of semi-

frozenness and said, "I see only Light and Love". His reply seemed

to warm everyone up and I went into another state of mind, and

didn't hear anything else till we rejoined the larger group.

Baba gave me 18 packets of Vibuthi, and everyone else received

handfuls of it. Everyone walked out the door but me. I stood there

alone with Baba. I was just looking into His eyes and He into mine.

When suddenly he said, "Yes, what is it?"

 

I didn't want any material thing from Baba at that moment, I

realized. I just wanted to know He was for real! "Yes," He said to

me. I smiled and showed him this small silver ring of Shirdi Sai

Baba that had recently broken.

 

Not knowing how to ask him directly if He would fix it for me, I

said instead, "Baba, look at this ring, what shall I do with it?" He

looked at it and delivered a punch line I never expected. "If I were

you I'd keep it", He said.

 

I nearly exploded in laughter, but contained myself as He walked me

out the door, and I felt the warm sunlight disappear into a greater

sunlight within me.
