Worship Baba as God in all:

[Guest guest]

Worship Baba as God in all:

199. Baba: Nana,

I would like Pooran Poli.

Prepare it for Naivedya and bring it.

NGC: It is late.There is no cook.

Baba: Never

mind.

Then NGC got

eight Pooran Polies and

side dishes and placed them before Baba.

NGC: Baba. Taste.

Baba waited a

while. Then ants and flies settled on the poli.

Baba: Good. Take

away the plates.

NGC: How is it

you ask me to take the plates, without touching them? If you were not to eat

anything, why ask me to prepare this? Unless you take something, I will not

take away the plates nor eat food.

Baba: I have

eaten the poli, take the plates away and have your

meal.

Nana: You took

the poli! When? What was brought on the plates

remains just as it was. Unless you eat, I will not remove these.

NGC left the Dwaraka Mayi and lay down at the Chavadi with hunger.

(Baba unable to

endure the sympathetic suffering he underwent, sent

for Nana.)

(Baba: Nana, at

some time, I took your poli. Do not be obstinate.

Take the plates away and eat,

NGC again went

back in a huff to the chavadi. Baba again sent for

him.

Baba: What,

Nana, you have been with me 18 years. Is this all that you have learnt? Is this

your appraisal of me? Does Baba mean to you, only this visible body of 3 ½

cubits height? Is that all?

Hello! I eat in

the form of the ant. I eat in the fly that eats. I take what form I choose and

eat in the form. I have taken your poli long ago. Do

not continue inexcusably obstinate.

Nana: Though you

said, I understand (realise) nothing. What am I to

do? If you make me understand it, I will then take the plates away and eat my

food.

Then Baba made a

gesture revealing his knowledge of some secrets hid by nana deep in his heart

and unknown to anyone else. Nana was thereby convinced that Baba was his

innermost soul (Antaryami) and therefore Sarvantaryami of all, inclusing

ants and flies, etc.,

NGC: I will take

away the plates.

Baba: Nana, as

you see this sign that I make, you will see that I can take food (in those

forms).
