Baba's Humility: Guru Baba Is Not and Is God

[Guest guest]

BABA’S HUMILITY: GURU BABA IS NOT AND IS GOD.

Baba (in 1917)

had with him Mrs. T and her son Master T.

Baba: Boy, give

me eight Rupees Dakshina.

Boy (M.T): Baba,

I have not got Rupees eight.

Baba: Go and get

it from Bapu Sahib Jog.

(Master T went

to Jog and found him reading Dhruva Charitra and commenting on it. Jog said “Saints,

though not God, have some powers derived from Him etc.,” the boy angrily

started back and came to Baba)

M.T.: Baba, why

did you send me there?

Baba: What is

the matter?

M.T.: They are

vilifying you there, saying that you are merely a man and not God.

Baba: Then what

is the untruth in that? Hello! What am I? A petty fakir! I am not God. How

great is God! No one can compare with him.

M.T.: You

deceive us by speaking thus. We fully believe you are God. If anyone belittles

you, how can we endure it? Is it not true that we should not stay even a second

where saints are derided.

Baba: Yes.

M.T.: God is not

angry, if He is spoken ill of. But He will not endure it, if His devotees are

spoken ill of. Is that not so.

Baba: Yes.

M.T.: Then what

is the good of listening to a discussion whether such and such a saint is

great, and such other is not so?

Baba: You should

not stop even one second at a place where anybody talks ill of a saint.

Baba: (stroking

the boy’s head affectionately)” Read Pothi.

have Nama Japa.

M.T.,” If

I break off in the middle, I incur sin. So, I will not.

Baba (to the

lady): Mother, I have to take the entire responsibility for your son.

Lady: For all of

us, it is you that take care. (Both bowed to Baba. Then some other came.)

Baba (to those):

I have to take thought for my devotees. and if a

devotee is about to fall, I stretch out my hands, and by four, four hands lift

him and support him thus. I will not let him fall.

M.T.,: Baba, just now you said you are not God but a petty

Fakir. How then can you have four hands?

(Baba did not

reply, but smiled and looked at M.T., with love and approval.)

 

Baba's humility; Devotees: Baba, this G.G. Narke says you are a man. Baba: What he says is true. But

you devotees should not say that. You have to get all your benefits from me
