You know that remind me.
Long long ago, why should think in Nineteen Hundred and twenty-four or twenty-five and bubble 25. That's right. Bubba was talking and all of a sudden. He says that all these worldly people who pray to God a fool ceases.
I wouldn't use any music or receiver with Bubba did not use but he he did say they were fools. He said you know why?
Well, all of a sudden he just say that all these people are fools just looked at his face. I do, you know these people pray to God and at the end of the prayers they raised their hand in supplication and once is oh God, give me well the second one says, oh God, give me good health.
The third one say something give me a child or something something something.
This is these people are fools.
Y-you know that's God that does God need to be told what you want. Tell God not know what you want. Should we be told what you want. God knows everything you just pray to him.
Don't ask of him. He is that he is benevolent one.
So this was very very very many years ago.
And
Baba is one of his moods ask somebody to pray.
I was looking after the work building work of marathon used to consult a shuttle between Meredith and Meredith.
Maybe it was about 8:00 in the morning. Bubba was in a lovely mood, but he said sappy told somebody to pray to God.
I was about to leave for Naga on an errand. I also stood at attention and just part attended the prayers and whatnot. This was during the new lifetime When Baba
Wouldn't allow himself to be addressed as a perfect Master. He says I am a slave now. I am a servant. So if I make a mistake and my let my ego get the upper hand saying that I am the master just hold me up.
Don't let me say that I am the servant now I am going to this face.
The prayer was going on.
And at the same time Bob always whenever you used to make a mention about the spiritual points, he would say that I had read in half. He's I had read in a particular book or I heard from a perfect Master about God. This is this this is this that is he wouldn't mention himself. He would avoid mentioning himself, although he would see himself.
So this prayers were going on.
And the tickle bug in me got better of me after the prayers are over. I use Baba's own words, and I said Bubba.
Years ago a perfect man told me that there is no need to pray to God and ask for his favors. I don't see any necessity of praying to God at all. He knows everything he knows what we want.
You know what Mom answer me.
Is it your right? But our God is such that he is got to be roused up to listen to our prayers. Otherwise he with David go unheeded I said Baba I'm going to nagar. All right, go and get out go on do this. Y'all finish the job leave alone. God work.
Did you call Obama's honest?
I'll give you an anecdote in story in 1937 Bubba.
Comes from dehradun up North
On the hill
There was no tomb built in but there was a stone room there with a tin roof.
And everything around about this place till then was built of bamboo matting and didn't lose and posts to be dismantled or built in a jiffy.
Frankly, I was tired myself that there is no permanency are in mehrabad.
Obama comes one day and say that Padre.
I want one room built for myself. Yes, Baba.
Where do you want it? He was on the hill. We were on the hill with him. This is I wanted here where the cabin stands now.
How big do you want just points out with his pants? I want that big this big.
All right, Bubba, would it be what about say 15 by 15 enough for you? Something like that? This is yes. Go ahead you built it go and I want just one room to sleep in or to go in seclusion. I don't want it for the whole day.
He was in a very very good mood. So I took advantage of it and told him and treated him.
Look, Baba.
We have built and broken down many houses of this bamboo. Mat again Tin Shed, at least give me a chance to build one room for you in brick and mortar and make it a permanent job. Oh Bubba opens up and says by Heavens, why did here right? Go ahead. Go ahead. We'll do our I give you full permission. This guy's well, let me go ahead. Oh, I would
Ivy, can you willing to do that for once in the lifetime Baba has given me permission to build something permanent.
All right. We check it. Check it out.
And start the work
I start the work that is the foundation was being dug.
And all the progress of the work was going on.
And
Well at the time also, he asked that how many days will it take to build a room ice at three months. I stretched my limit.
I wanted more time. I wanted to I didn't want to build it good.
It's a three months. Yes, Baba now Bubba. Look, you're giving me the time. You're the sky's the limit now. Don't ask me the time. Is it? No, no. No. No. Go ahead. Go ahead. You can have your three months. Go ahead. I'm not arguing anything. I'm not telling you anything. Go ahead. So I start the work.
The foundation is started coming up. Now after the number of days all of a sudden one day comes.
Audrey
Your progress that machine lie. Yes, Baba. The progress is very fine.
How many days have you knighted say about 15 days how many days left now? Look Bubba, you are giving me three months. You only asked me after 3 months whether the room is ready or not, please will you please let me build at least one thing one job? Oh, no. No. No. I am not trying to deviate from that point, but I would rather like to know how many days going to take.
Well, you're getting me to to eval still two and a half months to go in your room will be ready by two and a half months. All right. All right. All right. All right.
No arguments. Go ahead. You have a two and a half months to make it a good job. Yes, Baba. I'll make it a good job.
Two or three days later he comes again.
This is Pottery or work is very slow. And three months is a very long time can't you make it two months?
I again plead with him please Baba. Let me build it room. Let me build it build it good and proper. No. No, go ahead. Go ahead build it good and proper. I'm not saying about anything about that. But can you build it in two months?
I
Two months from three months is come to two months.
I immediately saw that now he is cutting down my time limit even then two months is not a short while I thought that I could meet the deadline it wasn't a big room.
So I said, all right, Bob I can do it in two months. Very good buddy. Very good. Make it a good job on it. Uh, yes Bob. I'll make it a good. I want to make it a good. Yeah, he's he's he's of course. I also wanted your good job. Go ahead. Don't worry about the expenses know Bubba.
After about 15 days he comes back.
Badri only one month left. Yes, Baba.
Only the plane that come up mind you as it is now.
No, and he says
Now pottery look, I want to sit down and seclusion. Can you build this room in eight days finished?
From three months he came to two months and from two months to a came down to a week.
Well, I gave it up. I knew I all of his said I understood now that he wants a room quick.
This is all right, Bubba.
But you promised me that I should build it a to build this room good and proper is hi. I'm not saying about anything about that but make it in eight days Bubba. Look, it's impossible to build a missionary work in eight days.
A makes a wry face and he says look I want to sit down and one week in this room. It's very important for me.
The point Here Comes
Obedience to the Masters
Had I built a my room of marble in one year. It would have been of no value at all.
But according to his wishes had I built.
One room to give him during the stipulated time. That is the value.
The value lies in his word and the time
The master has also got a time to do a job. We do not know so I give up.
Barber tells me to finish the job in one week. So what's the recourse then?
Only thing building would so we I go and get I go to another get would get about three to four carpenters and rig it up within one week.
And Baba does not wait for the 7th days to set.
But at about five or six o'clock when the nail the last nail is driven home he gets into the room and he says yes, you have done the job.
The Point again here is and I which I would like to emphasize it's the value of time and not the value of the building the value of Baba's World value of carrying out Bob has orders.
The building may help value later on.
But then it behold me to finish the job during the stipulated time whenever he wanted.
It was it would have been of no value at all. Had I not done the job. He wouldn't enter the room at all.
That room would have had no value at all. I did not finish the job within one week. Never mind build it up bombas, but give me a room. The point is give me a room. Never mind of bamboos Tin Shed anything. I want a room.
Ah oo M room anything
D then room that was finished has the value even yet and you see it as a cabin where the steak it is.
In that room he just went as I said exactly on the seventh day.
After the last nail was driven home. It is ready. Well some touches were to be given here and there but it was all right for him. He got into it.
And he had the seclusion there that is a picture of it with a dog Chum before Amy sitting on the steps, and that was that.
Following the master you should move what you want.
The value lies in the time in our own Act.
Not in the thing at all.
No, I heard I built a big edifice a marble edifice. It would have had no value.
The value lies its value lies today in being built when Bubba wanted it.
That's the value that's the value of the word of the master. You got to keep his wish.
Not my wish not our wishes.
That's how you follow the Masters.
So
You know what you wished.
Why question me, he has given everything in his book.
You see that they are not dead you follow that.
No questions asked.
