75. BABA'S OPINION AND INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING NAMAJ AND PRAYER TO MUSLIMS AND HINDUS

[Guest guest]

Once Muslims were offering their Namaj in the Dwarakamayee and at

the same time, Hindus were aIso doing bhajan with tal and Mridang. The

Muslims complained to Baba that the HINDUS bhajan at the time of their Namaj

was a hindrance one to their Namaj. For this Baba told to the Muslim "Those

who do Namaj sincerely may do Namaj and those whose aims have not in namaj

may not do the Namaj and those whose aims have not in bhajan may not do the

bhajan.

In order to compare this saying of Baba, "once, circumstances so came to

Akbar that He has to pray Namaj on his way adhering to the time of his

Namaj. Then he was praying his Namaj on the way. Then a woman who was very

much fond of her husband after hearing that her husband then came from

foreign after a long time, ran to her home to meet her husband in such a way

that she did not know anything on the way and attacked the legs of Akbar who

was praying Namaj on the way. After Namaj was over, Akbar called the woman

and enquired her high handed act. The woman sauvly replied to Akbar, "I

heard my husband came from foreign after a pretty long time and as such I

came running in haste without Knowing anything on the way with the only aim

and eager to meet my husband and hence the mistake occured and begged the

pardon of Akbar and added that "if Akbar was in Namaj (Praying to God) with

one aim how can he knew that his legs were attacked". On hearing this vittal

question from the woman Akbar felt ahamed and konoured the woman. From this

Baba tought us that we have to carry on with our own work with sincerity in

the same aim without looking for the hindrances of the environments".
