Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 117. Anant Row Patankar. Baba, I have read a good lot of Sastras, etc., but I have no peace of mind. Prary, grant me your blessing. Baba: Once a merchant came here. In his presence, a quadruped passed its stomata, i.e., nine balls of stool. The merchant anxious to attain his quest spread his cloth beneath its tail, gathered all the nine balls and took them away. He got concentration and peace of mind.Anant Row, unable to make out this parable, questioned Data Kelkar, "What does Baba mean?" Data Kelkar. God's grace is the quadruped. The nine balls excreted are the nine forms of Bhakti. You are to be in the position of the merchant. If you follow Nava Vidha Bhakti, you will attain peace. Again Ananta Row went to Baba. Baba: Have you gathered the nine balls? Anant Row. For that I must have your grace. Baba: God will bless Jnana and Bhakti 118. Baba: Gnana marga is like Ramphal. Bhakti marga is like Seethapal (custard apple), easy to deal with and very sweet. The pulp of the Ramphal is inside and difficult to get at. Rampal should ripen on the tree and be plucked ripe. If it falls down, it is spoiled. So if a Gnani falls, he is ruined, even for a Gnani there is the danger of a fall, e.g., by a little negligence or carelessness.
