Don'tshow it to anybody'. He just obeyed. But the warden insisted to seeit. When the boy opened the handkerchief in which it was tied hefound a gold coin. So he said 'Keep it safe, don't show it toanybody'. But his friends pestered and he had to yield. When theyopened the handkerchief it was only a Tulsi leaf. The boy wasgreatly disappointed. Seeing his disappointment Swami called him andasked for the leaf. He blew at it and lo! The gold coin appeared andSwami blessed him to keep the same with him as His gift. Nothing isbeyond His Power. His sankalpa is enough. It can change earth intosky and sky into earth. This incident, though humorous, was but aglimpse of His omnipotence. The students get such revelations oftenwhich cement their faith in their protector and patron."Source:http://www.sssbpt.org/Pages/Bhagawan/Sai_Humour1.htm Gold Coin-2 "At Horsley Hills Sai Baba produced a particularly striking example of such telekinesis. One evening a party of us were sitting on the carpet in his suite; Ramanatha Reddy, the doctor, the young men, Iris and myself were there. Swami asked me the year of my birth, and when I told him, he said that he would get for me from America a coin minted there in that same year. He began to circle his down-turned hand in the air in front of us, making perhaps half a dozen small circles, saying the while: "It's coming now ..... coming ..... here it is!" Then he closed his hand and held it before me, smiling as if enjoying my eager expectancy. When the coin dropped from his hand to mine, I noted first that it was heavy and golden. On closer examination I found, to my delight, that it was a genuine milled American ten-dollar coin, with the year of my birth stamped beneath a profile head of the Statue of Liberty."Born the same year as you," Swami smiled. What would the skeptics say about this, l wondered. Would they suggest that Baba carried around with him a stock of coins so that he would have one to match my year of birth. Such old American coins, now long out of circulation, would not be easy for him to obtain in India through normal channels.I have no doubt whatever that this was one of Baba's many genuine apports. While he circled his hand before us, some agency under his will had dematerialised this gold coin at some place somewhere, carried it at space-annihilating velocity, and re-materialised it in Sai Baba's hand."from Man of Miracles by Howard Murphet Gold Coin-3 "In 1899, hundred years ago, 110 carat gold was in existence. It was extremely pure and effulgent. Gradually it has lost its value and effulgence on account of its association with different metals like silver, copper and brass. Likewise, man at the time of birth is essentially pure and sacred, but as he grows up, loses his human values due to his excessive desires and association with kith and kin." Just then Sathya Sai Baba materialized a gold coin from year 1899 .(Discourse, 16 October 1999) Sacred Past main Index Latest: Daily SaiNews-events-pictures Attachment: (image/jpeg) sai_tulsi_coin.jpg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
