Live Experiences of the Tarkhad Family with Shri Sai Baba

[Guest guest]

Killing of Insects

 

During Baba's lifetime devotees visiting Shirdi used

to voluntarily take part in executing some duties such

as cleaning of Dwarkamai, sweeping the road from

Dwarkamai to Lend! Baug which Baba use to walk upon

daily. These duties were not entrusted upon but

devotees would perform them as though they are

offering their worship to Baba through such social

deeds. The resident devotees of Shirdi were regularly

performing such duties. My father whenever in Shirdi

would undertake the job of cleaning the Petromax

Lanterns and lighting them up in the evening and hang

them in assigned places all over Dwarkamai. He would

use that opportunity to seek clarification from Baba

on any query he would tumble upon. Once he declared to

Baba that he would no more light up the Petromax

Lanterns because that act of him is making him to be a

sinner. No sooner the Lanterns are lit and darkness

approaches, lots of insects gather around the lamps

and after hovering around for sometime they fall

beneath the lamp and die. In the event that he does

not light the lamps they would not come there and

possibly would not die My father basically wanted to

know why God had created such a phenomenon and Baba's

explanation on that matter. Baba laughed at that query

and said " Hey Bhau you are mad. Do you think that

these insects will not die if you do not light the

lanterns? They would go to the place where there are

lamps and light and would die there. This is all

Lord's creation. He had planned their death at the

time of their birth itself. In case Lamp or light is

not there then other creatures would finish them.

These types of deeds do not add to the sins of a human

being. Your main intention of lighting the lamp is to

remove the darkness from Dwarkamai so that the

devotees can perform their worship with ease. You are

therefore not indulging in any act of sin. The very

fact that the dying of insects hurts you in itself is

an indication that you have a kind heart. The Lord

knows his duties very well and we need not interfere

with his work. He has planned our end side by side

while putting life into us. You therefore need not

worry and continue to perform the work which gives you

pleasure. Lord will be kind to you (ALLA BHALA

KAREGA) " . So Baba's teachings were very simple and of

a convincing type. Through this incident he

administered a noble advice to my father and made him

aware of a norm created by God.
