Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Sairam, May the grace of BABA be on one and all on this day. May our faith increase in HIM with every passing day. Result of true faith and devotion and love towards God cannot be measured. As humans we quantify it and measure in terms of number of houses, property, wealth and progeny we have and accumulate. Lest we know that the true treasure one can attain is Grace of God, and HIS companionship not just to us but to our next 7 generations. When we love and serve BABA let us do it with simplicity and without expectations, and love HIM for 'BEING' there for us. The treasures which cannot be quantified will follow in abundance. The life of Bayajabai, and Tatya is an example. What would a mother want, other than happiness of Her child and knowing that her son is growing up in the shadow of the Master of Universe. Can any amount of materialistic treasure measure to this gift? Bayajabai's Brilliant Service Tatya Kote's mother, Bayajabai, used to go to the woods every noon with a basket on her head containing bread and vegetables. She roamed in the jungles koos (about 3 miles) after koss, trampling over bushes and shrubs in search of the mad Fakir, and after hunting Him out, fell at His feet. The Fakir sat calm and motionless in meditation, while she placed a leaf before Him, spread the eatables, bread, vegetables etc. thereon and fed Him forcibly. Wonderful was her faith and service. Every day she roamed at noon in the jungles and forced Baba to the partake of lunch. Her service, Upasana or Penance, by whatever name we call it, was never forgotten by Baba till his Maha Samadhi. Remembering fully what service she rendered, Baba benefited her son magnificently. Both the son and the mother had great faith in the Fakir, Who was their God. Baba often said to them that "Fakir (Mendicacy) was the real Lordship as it was everlasting, and the so called Lordship (riches) was transient". After some years, Baba left off going into the woods, began to live in the village and take His food in the Masjid. From that time Bayajabai's troubles of roaming in the jungles ended.
