In the year 1900 and 24 Bob. I acquired baba got acquired one bull one white bull a cough of about three or four years old and a white horse.

He said he would like to present these two animals in the ashram.

I and another chap called nervous his nickname nervous like mine pottery.

We tended these two creatures.

I don't know who look after looked after the bull but we were the two stable boys here in the month of May. Bubba said that now we are going to quetta. What should we do with these animals?

He all of a sudden things has an idea and he said go and take these two and give this to opacity Mirage.

Well, it's to take them this to stable boys nobody else.

All right, we get a wagon for them a railway wagon soccer is about 30 miles from another.

And Bubba gives us an order look you to take this bull and this horse give it to passing Mirage catch the train and see me in Bombay from whence we are going to quitter.

And you shall do that within 24 hours or something like that. We had to catch a train.

All right.

We bought the wagon here the horse and the horse and the calf. It was a bull no take a full-fledged bull.

And and while we're there while bullet that we land in on a station, which is nine miles away from secory.

It was summer month of April.

We walk nine miles.

Some other the horse is rearing always and the Bullock is trying to attack the passers-by.

You were dead tired by the time we reached a Korean it was nearly sundown.

The orders of Baba where to give it to pass the Mirage.

So we go there.

And the man who always

Carried the message of the visitors came to us.

A very very old disciple very very old follower of passing Mirage who also help Baba a great deal. His name was yashwantrao.

He came near us he knew we came from Barbara. He asked us whether you come from and we gave him the whole story and said that Baba send these two creatures and they are to be given to personally Mirage.

Although the time was up. He went in and told lupus Tamara's that these two people have come from marijuana and they have brought these two creatures.

And Maura just flew.

He said I don't want it.

Tell them to take him away.

Tell them to take him away. I don't want it. Tell him to go.

We expect it to return to we expected to go to Bombay by the night train and since but opacity Mirage wouldn't accept the gift. We were stuck there.

Central said are you sleep for the night? We'll see we'll talk about about these two creatures to Mara's in the morning.

We told him our inability that we had to catch a train to Bombay and Baba might be waiting for us in Bombay and we are going to quetta. He says I cannot do anything. I cannot help. I cannot take these two creatures. You know, what Baba what Maharaj gave what was the answer of Mara's? I can't take it we entreated with him. Please take it.

Please take it and tell him that these boys just came Cale gurr. Give the kept these animals here and walked away. This is no I won't disobey marriages orders. Well, he was bound. Definitely he couldn't disobey. My orders is orders and we couldn't disobey Baba's orders. Well, here is the tug of war.

Anyway

We just put up for the night. He gave us food. He gave us some bedrolls and whatnot.

And after he had gone.

V2 V2 stable boys us think of a plan that let us leave these animals here tie them up to the tree and just evaporate. Well that's against the orders too.

Well versed deliver them to Maharaj.

Just don't leave them like a thief. Don't tie them up to a tree and go away. No, that's Again by breaking Baba's orders.

Again, the Dilemma again the fix

All right. We'll explain to Baba.

That Mirage didn't accept the gift at night. We had to break our journey. We had to wait for wait for about 12 hours one whole night in security and we'll see probably Maharaj might come down and he might take that these two creatures in the morning.

Morning came we had over 30 and chapati.

Yes on through again goes to Mirage and Mirage again flies higher than last night. What does he say call the police inspected. These people must have stolen these two creatures and they're trying to Palm me off. I don't want to go to jail for them or throw them out. I don't want these two animals. They are thieves. Call the police.

Now what should we do? He had more has flatly refused to accept these animals and Bubba. I said give these animals to purpose in my life.

We heard that story we heard these words of Mara that called the police inspector and get these people arrested. They are stolen this animal. Anyway with a long face occasion truck comes back and he says you please go away take these creatures back we again and treat with him.

Look we have at obey an order. He says well, I have a tube in order to either told bill passed memorize you were to be Bubba.

Well, I ended the chap nervous. We come to a conclusion. All right, think it a failure. Let's go back.

Let us take these animals back to Naga.

So back we go there in the burning Sun.

And we prayed in our heart of hearts now how to take these animals back. There should be a wagon or we shall have to go walking all the way to another about 30 miles.

Soon as we approached the presence of the station. We saw the wagon still standing there on the station lucky.

We were given some money IV approach the station master and his we said that we would like the wagon back to her mother for these two animals.

Even through the procedure he went he just telegraphed. He's a Cho somewhere he got the confirmation. The wagon was poked and back came between Naga.

We gave it a gave these two creatures in the charge of rustom and we boarded the train and went to Bombay with a long face both of us.

Now I said have you come yes Baba we have did you deliver those two creatures to opacity Mirage know Bubba? Why not? We wouldn't take it.

Well, we explain the old story is all right, never mind. What have you done with them? Well, we have left them left them to in custody of rustom. All right, never mind. Never mind seen Mirage wouldn't take it but I told you to deliver them. You should have been treated by we did everything but just you wouldn't take it. He wanted us to be handed over to the police saying that we are stolen it. Well, let's that powers it. All right.

Never mind, the heylia. Come on we go to quitter.

Well, um about a couple of days ago. You asked me a question that these Masters are compassionate ones and why don't they give a second chance?

No, there is no second chance.

As far as we know there is never been a second chance.

That's why the Masters enjoins emphasizes on obedience.

Why does he emphasized an obedience?

Baba himself told us

Listen you.

If you start obeying me in small matters, when that particular time comes for me to give you the Divine gift. You should obey me then and take your gift away.

If you are lakhs now if you remain Lex now or if you start obeying me my orders half-heartedly, you might do the same thing at the psychological moment when the gift is to be distributed. No, this is my training to you.

You shall always do that. And once the time is gone, it never comes back. That's what it is. I'll give you the story of a saint a saint of the lower Hindu order. He was a cobbler by caste.

This this is a redneck dote is a story which we show that.

There is no second chance and how a man misses the Divine gift. Yes, sir. He does Miss Kabir has also said so

Kabira said

Let The Giver

Gives

2a

To a person after making him room round the whole globe. He makes him sweat.

He doesn't get it cheaply. That's what

He makes him work for it.

To another

He'll just give like that.

Just like that. But as I said before just like that means he must have worked in the past. But but apparently just like that. Alright, that's the second category the first sweats.

He goes through the grind whole life and then it gets it the second one gets it in a second.

And to the third, he's cool. Did the bataille cake is cool that I did KISS comb and get it na and to the third another third man comes he begs. He's on his knees Master. Give me give me something. He says get out.

He wouldn't give him anything at all.

Eve won't give him anything at all to the first one. He gives after he's waste his whole life is so to say not waste his whole life, but he goes through the grind throughout his whole life another one in a second. The third one is Cheese's out of his door go and get out. I have got nothing.

And the fourth

The master himself stated hand of Grace and say here. Mr. Take it here. Take this take this gift and that unfortunate woman refuses the gift. These are the four categories. That's what Kabir has it.

So I will give you the category of the 4th.

There was a master is Saint of what order I don't know but people used to believe in him people used to go to him. Listen to him follow him bow down to him. But as I said, he was of a lower order in the Hindu community. That means he was accomplished although High caste Hindu used to go to him.

Now one day all of a sudden he also used to work in leather.

And you know a cobbler always has a bowl of water to soften the leather. It dips the leather to soften it before he sues it.

Oh, yeah that what he had that bowl of water near him and the session was in full swing and all of a sudden.

This ain't takes up a bit of water from the bowl that dirty vitiated water from the bull and starts Distributing.

Amongst the congregation was a high caste Hindu.

He distributed to these people as Prasad.

They all drank it now comes the turn of the Bremen. Although he does not deny it. He does not reject it. He cups his hands and takes the water but instead of imbibing it he simulates drinking it, but he pours it down his sleep. He doesn't drink it. He doesn't imbibe it.

He doesn't take the Prasad. He rejects the Prasad, but slyly. Well, he does. Well the say knows everything.

Well, the session is over goes back home remove the shirt and throws it in a corner to be Washed by the Water Washed by his maidservant the next morning. He himself goes and has a bath too because he was contaminated with that water in which leather had been steeped.

Next day he has morning bath and he sits down to his daily worship before his Idol.

Well, he's active at the worship. He has commotion from the kitchen side.

Well, we think that it might die down but know the commotion keeps on increasing.

He gets have irritated and he starts shouting at the bottom.

Yes, he was at his Pooja. He was at his Worship in hear the commotion thought that it would die down in a while, but the commotion increased he got a Parrot a teary left his worship and came to the kitchen and he started chastising the woman the woman was the maid servant of the house.

He said what are you doing? Don't you know, I am just worshiping the deity. She said, ah, I know what you were worshiping you were just thinking about your mango grooves.

That this season the fruits are in abundance and you will get thousands of rupees for that that man looks at his face looks at her face. How do you know?

How do you know ice I was thinking about that, although I was in worship. I was just there meditating. How do you know about it? I do know about it.

I do know about it.

How did you come to know about it uses look?

They got it just cheaply easily you gave me a shot in the morning to watch remember? Yes. It was a contaminated sure that got contaminated last night.

This is look.

I you told me to wash though, you told me to wash that shirt.

That shirt had the ten spots on it the leather spots on it. It wouldn't come out. I applied so by reptak hard. I banged it on the floor and in desperation. I just sucked it see that.

I said it all of a sudden that man comes to know. Well, she took the Prasad.

That water entered the mouth of the woman and she got ego. It dresses up and goes and gets down on the knees of the master is in master. Forgive me, forgive me what the master acts as if he doesn't know anything. This is what is it Master you give me Prasad last night. I didn't drink it. I didn't take it. Well, this is where it's gone the time.

Vaughn it's not coming back. Go back to your Puja. Go back to your worship. Go back go on. So there is no second chance.

Baba emphasized that thing

And he gave us a training. We learned it the hard way. We didn't make mistakes, but we were very very particular.

About the time

When given by Baba to add it to do a thing in a particular time within the particular time limit, we used to observe which strictly strictly well there were times.

When say a bubble say that you come to Meredith at nine o'clock.

He gives anybody another come to Mira that at nine o'clock.

If he goes there at 8:30 by shouts at him I told you to come at eight and nine o'clock. Why have you come at 8:30?

All right, if he five minutes late bhava catches him again, you're you're you're late by five minutes. So we have living with the master is very difficult in that now here is just emphasizes. You should know. Well a man when he goes to Meredith you'd be 5 or 10 minutes early would like to be 5 or 10 minutes earlier.

But even then Bob would haul him up.

Well, you couldn't be on that. Well, just sometimes he used to do that not always not always when he was not in his mood. You just chastise the man that you are 10 minutes earlier. I told to come at 9 o'clock.

I'll give you the very first experience of the Mandalay in 1922 in mandala means when he emphasized how to obey the master.

Every night at about nine o'clock.

We all used to disperse Baba used to go to his room on the on the first floor and we used to go to our respective rooms to sleep.

Mama said it's alright go to bed.

We all dispersed.

And naturally before dispersing or before going to bed. Everybody attends to his knees you just wash his mouth or his face. He goes to the bathroom to relieve himself. It takes some time and everybody was busy little in like manner in about five minutes. There was again the Bell that means come all of you. We used to congregate in the dining hall when the bell went.

My bargaining us individually.

You what were you doing by going to the bathroom? Yes. All right you what were you doing? Bubba's washing my face?

Three to four persons. He just asked a question. Then he asked the congregation the monthly what did I tell you about five minutes ago?

He said Baba you said told us to go to bed then. Why are you not in bed?

Remember when I tell you to go to bed you go to bed? That's all no arguments you get into the bed first lie down there for five minutes and then get it to attend to your needs that's following the order you may get up later on.

But when I have said go go to bed means go to bed you get into the bed and come out later on. You want me to tell you ask me a question?

What is obedient and how should we be followed?

Obedience means literal obedience

Say Baba is sitting there with the manderley and I get into the whole everybody sitting down.

But out of respect I just stand for a while. I am standing there for a while Baba signs to me sit down.

I must sit down immediately.

No arguments. I must sit down immediately. That's little videos. Get up - get up sit down and sit down.

So he said that these final points these small points insignificant they may seem to you but they are got 30 fake importance.

If you get used to obeying all these small orders of mind, you're not liable to miss that opportunity moment when the gift is to be distributed. That's why I emphasize on obedience.

Not that

I want to be obeyed. Who am I doing this for?

You're welcome to take your share.

I am perfect.

I I don't want any progress. I am perfect it is you you are to get the share from me. They sell time to Dole out the shares.

And when the time comes you many because you should not miss that when the time comes this training for you. Obey. Obey me whatever I say.

Don't argue. Don't try to

Translate it in translate my order in your own way follow them follow these orders in the literal manner sleep and sleep and eat means eat if I tell you to fastest keep a fast don't argue about it.

Don't argue about it.

Supposing I tell you too fast.

You feel very hungry. Are you going to die and you continue hunger and suppose you get died while keeping the fast what's wrong with it? I am responsible for that order you died because I told you to keep it fast. That's all here again comes the point.

On fasting

Mama used to ask these Outsiders many times.

How many times do you eat or what do you eat just to Broach on the subject? That's all.

Well the man would say that.

Yes, Baba.

I eat twice a day or Thrice a day or whatever that be but I keep a fast once a week. Oh you keep a fast don't you what for? I I like to keep it for but tell me what do you keep that fast for who told you I never said to I never told you to keep a fast I never give you an order to keep a fast. Yes Baba now you see stuck.

He stuck you can't answer Baba.

He says look.

If you think that by a fast you make spiritual progress you're damned mistaken.

Half the world is going hungry. Mmm after world is going to be they should reach God before you do. Oh no fasting. Don't help you at all. You will only fast when I tell you to not on your own. Where is the necessity you obey me? You obey me live a normal life and when I tell you too fast you fast then not otherwise

So here is the point.

As with intellectual knowledge is about this this fasting and other acts. You don't need to do the acts unless told by the boxes. We never try to do it. We never also sort of

Wanted in order from Baba that I would like to fast fast what for since it's not going to benefit spiritually on the carrying of Baba's orders and living with Baba living with the master is this thing?

So we never question about that. You never asked anything.

Only When Baba said you keep a fast or you eat once a day there was a time we have for one full year. We had one meal a day one full Year. Everybody observed that

I don't know what the year was.

But all of them have dessert I'm sorry taken and there were times.

When Baba

Very very odd to say particularly said that you should not touch woman even accidentally even accidentally.

And even to married men he had said that you shall observe celibacy even Mary married men were ordered to observe celibacy.

And you are very particular to see while traveling that there was no no sort of an inadvertent contact not a deliberate was ingested inadvertent one in the street while dealing while walking while traveling we try to avoid sitting next to a woman.

Avoid it. That's all it's awful easy avoid avoid the contact and after the time about say that well, that's that's gone that's finished. Now that's finished with some part of training.

During these phases.

You wouldn't know how a master would give why a master would give the order.

We never questioned.

We only obeyed why should he give you once he explained to us?

That this phase is very important.

During during one of such phases. He had said he had told us he hadn't joined us not to accept food at the hands of a woman.

See that you are not served by a woman.

Your food Outsiders. Well in the manly way for the monthly it was the it was all men, but for Outsiders just anybody.

Let me explain later on.

That this particular order has a meaning in it during this particular phase of mind with you.

I want this order observed because

You don't know it, but it's a fact.

That while you are being served by a woman and if that woman has carnal desires about you in her mind, she will transmit it to you through the food. That's why I'm telling you to abstain from that.

That's why I'm telling you to abstain from that this particular face observe it and don't think it to be a joke.

Well, the master gives the pressure there is always something physical either he beats cases. Are you something to eat when the Divine gift is given?

That's why the Prasad.

It's divine. It's the gift. That's what you eat. That's called Prasad.

People can clamor for Prasad

So through the media of the food.

You might not contact you might not accumulate the some scars that Colonel some scars on the part of the woman, which you do not know. She might have carnal thoughts. You may not have it. You are quite innocent. You are quite Innocent, but shemale some thoughts for you about you.

And she will she would transmit to the food which you imbibe.

Don't you imbibe the Prasad don't you eat the prasada you throw it away? Yes you do.

That's the point. These are the finer points. So as I said as half his says there are a thousand points finest then hair in this line.

And all cannot be explained away.

So

That ignoramus has got to obey the master, but Bob is not in the body now. So the orders are different. Are we do obey the just a general order don't cute don't you know what Mandela has been obeying all these years don't you know?

Don't you know how Bob has enjoyed now as I said about fast. All right, you don't need to fast.

Bye-bye enjoying the monthly key for from women Kiefer of bloodlust. Can't you do that?

You can.

Mmm, all right.

But then

Even celibacy for a man is good. But even if he indulges it's not bad.

Because they are man and wife. Yes, Baba himself got the married. They had children. They broke created. He never said no to that. But only when that particular time or the phase of the work came in and when he told him to abstain abstain from Indulgence, he should

He should have eight That's the Law. That's how the slave obeys the Masters issue bait.

So whatever order these this monthly this Baba's Mandela has been observing is still applicable to you. Bob has orders are not dead the still life and they shall ever be alive they shall ever be alive.

What is what is Babas Mandela doing now? Don't you see how Baba's mandalas living mmm.

You understand? Well, a married man lives a married life. We live a celibate life.

If you are married, you may live a married life if you are unmarried you should be a celibate.

Mary by all means if you want to nobody's stopping you bubble never stopped Baba. God himself Baba what others married he has blessed the couple's you know that you do know that why the question

Well when Bob is not in the body, we don't have his direct orders about different things and people interpret with bobblehead said differently. What do you want? The defect orders for as is not laid down a code of life.

Has he not are you such a fool that you do not know the code he has left.

He is given everything in the inside the discourses. You see the mandala living the life.

Mandela doesn't indulge in alcohol. They don't indulge in flesh. They live a simple life the work for Baba live for Baba and they die for Baba. What else do you want? Do you why do you want? Bob has direct orders. Why do you constantly hanker yuge? Happy's concentrate. Tell me Well, Baba is not here. No Baba is here his orders still stand good. They are not dead Baba is

Dead God is eternally there. Eternally there only thing is

He's well now that's all God is Baba always used to say God is not that God was a million years. Hence will be the same present tense. God is a million years ago. The same present tense was used.

God is so his orders are orders to exist. They are not obsolete at all.

Christ is born a long time. Mahmoud has gone Buddhist God. He laid down certain reception orders.

Don't the people follow in like manner Baba is given the orders to the monthly. You know, they meant firsthand, you know them not a hundred years has had a man asked us a hundred years, hence. Well, I would have forgiven him but now since you chappie see us.

You're actually there.

Where is the necessity Baba is there Baba's orders are still there?

God is and Baba is to only thing say you can say one thing you see Baba is go left this room and gone into the other room in the same house. What's the difference can't you can't get that feeling Baba is

Then why the question why the idiotic question why the foolish question why the child is question.

Where Bob has orders do you need can't you see don't you read his books? What is it said housecarls bind you what's a cabiria said what these sense these past sensor set. Hmm.

Why do you have to come to mehrabad?

Not for Bob has good for your own good. Hmm. Why do you go to? Why do you go to any saint?

To get yourselves cuz eliminated it is us who needs medicine not him.

Mmm, once

There there was there was an argument going out going on amongst them and Ellie and rather. It was a heated argument.

And we were having these verbal arguments rather strongly.

Which

Intern was Unbecoming on our part.

Sort of this respect. We behave disrespectfully to the master and his presence. We had a heated argument even just a heated argument. That's all but

In the presence of the Masters

These slaves were quarreling.

Well, the coral goes on a little while and all of a sudden Baba claps and houses up shut up all of you.

Don't you are you forgetting my presence don't you know who I am?

Mmm, have you got no manners?

You should always act respectfully before me not that I want respect.

Not that I I want respect.

But it behooves you to act respectfully before a master's otherwise, don't stay with me. No disrespect allowed get out. The doors are wide open. Nobody is going to stop you.

Always behave with due respect to the Masters.

Don't react with due respect.

In a court of law or in an assembly of men.

We do there is a quote to be followed.

You just don't act in any way you like.

Oh, no, you're not allowed to you'd be lifted bodily up and thrown in the clink you got to act with a code.

Every country has its code the Masters code is stick.

It is the respect the slave always respects the king and he should not depart from it. Well.

The argument got heated no doubt, but the argument got heated for a lesson for us. That's all the master all this up. We were brought to our senses.

Man, that was that.

You always act you always act with due respect to the master. The master commands respect. Not that it demands respect He commands.

Yeah in India people when they go to the master of the same this stand or sit very respectfully very very respectfully blessed ritual or ceremony. He didn't he didn't care for this for ritual or ceremony.

What value have the rituals can you give me? So that's that ritual have no values at all.

It's following the Masters. It's not a particular ritual that you should follow. You should follow the essence the essence of Baba's worse.

Now ritual as what keeping your fast standing on one leg or standing on one head. What would that ritual be? Well rituals are for Orthodox people.

To babble something go to church go to synagogue go to Masjid or Aguirre or Monday or mosque or whatever. That is. That's visual.

What will you has that?

He gas just goes through it like routine.

Or other matters that you have before Bubba isn't that sort of a ritual wouldn't that be a ritual the the certain type of manners and certain type of respect that you show them and know that is not to the chew on that is not a ritual that is the code of conduct. Yes, but what's the difference now? Definitely not code of conduct towards the king.

You shall you shall observe that code of contact now? Wait a second.

How would you go in the course of law in your American course, would you go naked?

Or would you go dressed up? How would you say it? How would you address the address the judge eulogist address him in proper manner would it not be so there is a code of conduct to be observed by every individual.

Every individual

How would you go into a church? How would you go into a Hindu temple? You shall remove the shoes. That's the code of conduct and in your shirt. You shall wear a hat or you remove the head, which you remove the Hat.

While the ladies they were ahead or the tie of the years, that's the code.

You shall always follow the coldest. It's not an issue. It's a code.

It's a code of behavior.

No ritual is rituals are quite different which is a ritual that wasn't Warrior slippers shoes or know you walk into the church with a hat. I mean with this make a difference home to God.
