True Short Story from India (A search for the purpose of Life)

"I see only Light and Love"

 

An InterviewIt 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.
