Driving is the place which he always remember is the last place where Baba was brought here before he passed away. He and the gardens outside the premises these two trees that you see the small plants are the time just as these you see these things occasionally called
Smaller ones and at that time he was in seclusion in 1968 and it was at that time. He seems that he was doing his Universal work and says this is the real thing that I am I'm after now and all the time he would beat his tie all the time. You'll see he could hear only the thud and the way he had worked upon his thighs whatever you call it what therapy gave? I don't know it. Will he
Gave us a little excuse. He says if I don't do this then my link with the gross will be snapped. This is to keep myself in the body. Yeah anchored to this world. It's not my work is over but this is the thing that will it's it's for something to come and maybe you all are the products of that work. That's how we take it. So he was very adamant and it so happened that this even made him.
Lose the elasticity of his thighs and legs. He couldn't stand at the time last days. You see we'll talk about those funny days. You see that we passed the last year he all of a sudden in the midst of this. He said look, I'm going to step out of my seclusion for one day and I want it. He said some days in advance on 34d. He said so for that day, I want lepers and some number of levels are forget now hundred fifty.
200 or so send word out we couldn't go we are leaving around him. So we have to send note to our D & RG will see to others as you would write to funan Bombay and get the lepers and all the surface. So get the letters Tommy. I'm here to fix the time and all that at that time. Naturally when the word was sent out to Baba people not all over the places. You can get lepers from Delhi and Agra and like that.
So what went round and they came to know that on a particular day Bob is going to be out of seclusion and it was a great treat for them and lepers will be there and many others would come there. The truck drivers would be they're bringing lepers. You can't bring lepers in a bus you have to use the truck and for that no other truck would admit such a thing as he so they we requisitioned the track of Bubbles and they agreed of course, they'll all this had to go through the article.
So the day was fixed board went around and the as a result of the word going around in Pune. There is an institution. This was considered to be a very big institution filming institution. And there's a director of filming institutions Film Institute of India. It is known as and the director was a beloved whole family, so he heard it and he Java is to go every now and then to Barbara's brother Joel would go
And so through July he heard this this is all that's a good opportunity to get my students to see because we need some shots to be filled and they have filled with plenty of film. This is a government project. So can I come so naturally job I wrote here and we said of course anybody can there's no restriction on anybody coming forward. There's no noise. In the meantime. There was one in Bombay who had come from Holland. His name is Louis one Gaston.
Producers directors and all that film producer so he heard about it and he was having shots for his film called. There's no plane to the graph title of the film is no plain to see God it is in which language can rot in that year. So this now but he gave a sentence in foreign language Zach has something like that the meaning of it and I'm very honored. What is that? It's in Yugoslavia you are.
I will name them. So they use that language. That is that no. No that's on this team because that fitted into team of his film. So he wrote and naturally Baba permit insist. Anybody can come but Bob they don't bother me. They don't come and interfere in my work whatever they want. They can do it.
So that was all fine morning Dawn and we had prepared the leopards have come and they are being queued and lined up and all sorts of things that go with it is done what happens is now van comes from Pune and this man brings his cone crew and he comes in a van to with all these cameras and recording equipment and all the so they did in the beginning is outside monthly Hall. There is a little space with our ways to do that work with the lepers up or whatever it is and you'll find in
There's a stand like reading so there are two steps on the side. Yeah, it's the bathing stand without bathing. The feet people would go up one one side for one side man woman climb up. The stand are facing Bob and Bob out wash the feet and dry them and then bow down and then the power woman. Of course, I need the gift will be given with these words. Please accept this gift. It's a gift from God. Please accept
Kept him in a blue. Please accept it and oblige him. So these were the stock phrases. So they're person without registering what's happening, you know will accept it. But every time each time we had to say it. This is a gift from God. Please accept it in oblige him. What is it mean oblige him because it would be so good of you if you take it if you refuse it. He'll be displeased to be obliged by accepting his obliging
So it was it the oldest was in progress and all of a sudden they will given freedom to do what they like these two groups that are come all of a sudden there seemed to be an approach somewhere in a corner and the louder voice was of we when Gaston the Dutch and Baba looked up and says what's going on. He asked me find out so I go there and I stand there and what's happening is heated argument and exchange of words.
And and I said, what is the matter what his baba is inquiring what's happened? This is the Lewis says to me. He says look this man has come over here and it's my day and he's a loving his people to shoot and I don't like that. It's my day and so so I go back to Baba Baba call us cause for themselves for them become. So what's the matter? So we again bursts out. This is Baba. You've given me the permission and I am taking the I've got all this.
Really see from long distances and here he comes and shoots the film like this. You see it's my day Bible says neither your day nor his day is my day. Yeah, and then he winked at his own man. That is the director of Film Institute. Keep it alive him. So whatever little cat thinks that have been captured in the tiny wheel of I don't know how many minutes it is 5/6. Yeah. I said just that the rest we haven't got but then Baba even went to the extent he again,
Came and ask Baba to come over here. He had seen the spot and he wanted the seclusion Hill to be as the backdrop for this stage you see and he wanted to have a lot of filming done here. This is sound felt so he made Baba sit over here and then he went away and the crew were there and Bob a good time with the crew. They were recording something and then he comes all of a sudden from the bush here somewhere. He had gone to dress himself. He comes as an Indian with a red turban and
I'll have you seen that shot and you bring some flowers or something office to Baba and then he asks the question about drug on drugs. That's how it is.
That's the last film we have Ababa apart from the film that was taken. It was not a film that has been taken but some shots were taken at the time when dhara and breath got married and they were allowed to come for the reception over here.
So that is the last picture you have in monthly Hall. You haven't seen that picture in manly Hall stick in 40 days before he passed away. Oh, yes the last picture Barbossa very nice. So it's one of the body frames from the little film that had been taken. So that's how it is. This is the place now the tree of grown wild and we don't even see the you don't even you don't even see the hill there.
John tells me will you do one favor now the last four o'clock in the afternoon mind you we are whole day after running after him like puppies around so this is what is it? What is it that you want? You know this? Well, this is nice that is taking place in the neighborhood at that time. There was no electricity here. So then it already is a diesel engines important thing water or
Will be Flour Mill working so they have India on the exhaust 5 that is there. They put a small vessel an empty tin or something. So it goes it makes the sauce and like cool cool cool. It's like that sound others that the things are working. This is can you not stop as a how can I call Cloud all these places and we didn't have many hands at the time or in his no. No, please. Do I said, why do you want them to be stopped your film them and everything you had
Recorded this is no but the most important part of my film is to record the sound of the Silence of this place.
I think what about the words that this is that comes within the Silence has become and they worry there was an English lady bunny Margaret cars, which she was asked. Also when she returned from India after all you were there for many years. What did you do? What was the thing that was happening there? What what what was your activity?
And also she did was she buried down and picked up a rock and throw it in the air and came down at him luckily didn't come on ahead. We fell down she picked it up to the man who had asked the question was very curious thinking that what's the matter with this woman has she gone crazy and she did it about three or four time and then she turned see what we did.
You did exactly as you wanted us to do if he were to tell us to throw the story of to Troy and came down secret again, you do it went this is how we spent our life doing exactly what he wanted us to do. This is a secret, you know the time when Baba had told us that they will come a time.
When
The crowd will be so large so big that you will have no room for yourselves used to he will be thrown out. So we each one of us has selected a window to jump out of your window.
My jump out of this. There's no way to get out mind you I will have to jump over the wall. And on that side. There's a different world. You see there are all women there. I will have to jump back again. This is a special window. You see I think to throw somebody to throw somebody through the window, you know, what happened is then this was a stable as he says and it was very crude thing at the time.
And whatever you see now, it's just face lifting is the miracle of face lifting, you know the process as it is called you can transform a person in just little patches of Rouge and powder and paste and all that says likewise. It is formally if you have seen how it was at the time of Baba you will believe it.
Because as he as he saying the same thing destroy and dung and everything was good, but these walls and all that you see took shape much later and all the trappings that you see about the pictures and portraits and oil paint. And this is what you call those carpets and all took place after Baba dropped his body. So at the time when this stable was here and the horse that was made that was she hot
The figure grew up into a big man. See a filly was presented Barbara a new life and she was table here. She grew up to be a big animal and there was no dog here. No windows were there there was a little there was a big post, you know, wooden post there and wooden post here these fellows and through them you have those what they call what they called the stones of wooden poles to keep the animals away from there is to get around.
So that's how it would they were three posts like the tree bad very Kate like him. Now. What happened? Is that one day he had the pleasure to say that the animal has grown very big and all that is uncontrollable because mayor money and other Western Eastern women would come and tend to that. There was a groom there, but he would come just for a short while and the rest of the thing.
They looked after that babalao. Did you see many pictures that she would come running to Baba and just kiss Baba and kiss because each one had self-interest are coming over here and kissing his threshold in this also has that same trait. I always am remain reminded.
Of the picture you see when I find myself here is just that she would run up to Baba and all that and when you see that you admire the picture how the animal loves baba but it's the carrot that is in the pocket that brings that that's in there. You see she raised her head up and allow it to be kissed by Baba and she would keep Bob and all that and neutering knowing very well that the next instant would be a big carrot in her mouth. Yeah the facade.
So that's how we are also one of the different variegated ways. You see maybe we have lost many interesting characters. Now we are interested in his patent in his kiss and all that sort of thing without any recompense of reward for it.
So but it is there some sort of carrot is still there in our minds. So
When the animal was given it was given to the military over here. It was a military station is still a manifestation. So they had the stud farm and all that so they liked it and they they had her.
After that, he had another pleasure to come over here and sit here and call us around and then says any letters here real out the letters. He got the reports was that and we started sitting in the straw who covered there was no flooring or anything else Oracle just
Earth
And after every day one day we thought that he had a fancy second day. We thought that he had a friend he sat on a soapbox. That was there used by the groom in the corner there. That was the seat he occupied first. We thought that her heel again resumed his own place that there is a room which I love occupies now was the room for us to gather.
But he came here every day then we said that well, we should do something because the dust would be up here and all that will be walk or and her son. We started watering the place where it is. Damn. It's not good for Baba and for us also to sit on the damn soiled. So what we did was one day we got a lot of cow dung and plastered it and you know cow dung plaster use greatly in India, you find all the good things that are good earth that is covered.
Is made into a nice place? It's a decent place doesn't soil our backs or anything. So it is sit on it. It keeps warm the time of Summer and cool in summer and warm in winter. So we continued our days over here there is whatever the roof that was. It was so know that in the summer. It was very hot and all that and we began to feel the heat and how much more he would feel so we had a lot of thoughts to see we should do something we should
Have a door over here or do something eventually permitted or to put here. So we put the doll that was all right, we put it in because he asked us to spend money and get the door fixed that was done. But there were no windows. Anyway, except that good. Then what happened is that we said that we should have some windows Baba for ventilation to the best because that door he would shut he won't want it to be open while he's here. Even Chile. We removed that soapbox and
Good had that chair on which Michelle is sitting now that is the chair that he used it. So we kept it there and he started using days are passing by years are passing by and he said every now and then we'll see Baba then speed we need a wood window or so. This is what's the hurry about it a lot of year 700 years, you know, then you can do it. There's no hurry about it. No whitewash. There was no such there is no plastic. Yeah, you'll see.
All these things all this is covered up by paying you see because we have an Emulsion paint not oil paint versus different type of things. It is covered up its washable. We do it after our pastor within the otherwise. It was just cracks and cracked wall and all even here. This is so people that have some strong person comes in. He once Paul Paul is not here now Peter no audience cousin.
And his friend I am reminded of his friend was gone. If he were to just lean against it heavily. It might fall off. It's like that this one all these things are lose me pictures you see in mud and Bricks so
Essentially we knew that is not proper. It's not hygienic and all that stuff. If you need some ventilation know people started coming in and out whenever he would go out on clothes. We didn't have much money at the time. So Kaka who would be the manager over here. Sometimes Pottery would be here from mehrabad in Baba's absence Paris would be called from mehrabad. So among themselves. They thought of having the windows and be used to tell them that do something while Baba is
So they them to cured these Springs you see from we have a market here where all the stolen goods are collected. You see in character. You can if you lose a your car part you go to that market and you find your own carpod the it's like we all have that in America. Yeah, he's my dad you have that. So here we have culture Macho bizarre you call it children's teeth doesn't show that he actually shh, so this is how so in that
A short but these frames you see different frames so time. And again whenever little money was there one cream would be put there before Babu derived return no shutters and mind. You see then he said what is this blue wind is growing. So then the shuttle would be fixed. So likewise whatever was available. We got it fixed and naturally that therefore you find different things. Now this numbering the figures that are there on the wall is because after y'all started coming,
Brought in all the headaches to RCC of a projector and screen and the film and darkening the room and all that. We unheard of he never would darken our room here in daylight. You see daylight is meant to have light but no you have to see the film so you can't see in the night. So what to do now. So this is how all over numbered and he had an all-over number, you know, there is no system.
He had these little things cut out. So whichever came first he faced. There's nothing as systematic thing. You know, that's how it is.
Erykah Badu light fruit trees trees are yeah. I told you that I'll tell you a story. You asked me that question who was the one you are seeing the big black folks and all that as time above us here. He used to do that bubble of dust and will thus remove this episode of the group of
Ladies would come and visited murabba the other day also, etcetera so nice there is a comfortable living and why shouldn't it be so so that our Lord we were here it was a comfortable living in a sense that within bounds. It was comfortable and you ask you would allow us to enjoy how interesting a life whatever in a natural way that's children would have interest in life in playing about in big groups of anything on the side.
Heart so that he allowed be permitted in all that and he would also enjoy seeing us enjoy. So that's how it works. But there is one one wonderful thing that happened that I think it was in we had gone once to it was a fire if he like new lifetimes are the faces different phases as I told you all the rows of Manolo.
Space that even to the stakes and it is called the complicated free life after that why he was in the states and you and I have to go out in the country and then when we return even he returned he returned from our long tour of the country and when y'all were together Baba said that wherever whatever the case is you had been wherever you had gone the draw a chart out and I'll select the places and then we go.
And he did go to many places in this country, but one place in the north, then we had gone there in the district of humming pool as it is called at the time the whole District it would of course we have went to kanpur and jhansi and there'll be another big citizen of that is different. But this episode took place in that District other place in remote Village Baba had been received.
As as Delta of the age and so but they were so poor that they didn't know how to house the Lord but whatever they considered it to be the best in the place is here made it comfortable for Baba and allows Baba to stay there in comfort so we have now just arrived at a place.
I still remember that and I be with Baba all the time. I'm David Barber to undress him dressing on this and that and make him wash his face and comb this hair and all that would be there. And those who were with him. There are 74 people with him Gravely need the country - Anna. No not that animals were all all the other Human animals were the finger at the time. He has all of us 74 will go to give you this but when Bob has
Waters but I was very young. I was attending to not is everything was over there just to write an hour hour-and-a-half must have passed by and the rest of the group was housed somewhere else in different a little hats and all that of those people who are vacated themselves and allowed them to school and they were at a distance right from here. So beyond beyond the clinic and all that. Dr. Baba is ready and all you do.
Houses, there are those people there are people they must be house somewhere. Come on, let's go to them. So now we are going towards the place and from a distance Baba sees all of his people scattered and they are doing some sort of gymnastics team from a distance. He didn't know what they were bending down and they're doing this and being that and as he approached he found that they were busy.
Throwing stones on the trees bearing fruit. She's trying to drop the fruits from the yeah. I'll be there when we are children to do that father. Look at mises who sees that whose team, you know, we have arrows here be calling bathe at the Time season of was of the day. So I said, I don't know most probably belongs to the one who has who's our host.
So what had happened is now the Baba is now with the group love is what are y'all doing what what's this they are very shy now because they have been spotted this isn't where the we are breaking the we are getting the fruits from the team. Did you ask the permission of the owner whose story is that there was a local people around also who where are the people of the villages who had invited Barbara?
Who is the owner of the some gentleman there who owns this whole plot of land? So the tree belongs to him so bad asked his mom saying that have you taken the permission of that person break the fish from the tree like that.
There's no the right. So we thought that it was really delicious things. You see when you get right through to the arrows as we call them gay. This is called the man. The man was called he came he was very happy that the author of the time you see has taken notice of him and notice of reactions and sent special call message of call. So he comes for the folded hands and all that he pays his respects.
This is to Baba is changed. So data is standing all the time impatiently waiting for him to come see us coming. So Baba grows the then while he is pressing. He says please Baba stops him from that and says I have called you for one thing that I had to ask pardon on behalf of my men who are destroying the tree without your permission.
I know it's not proper for us to do that. But they forgot to ask your permission. So on the behalf, I asked you party believe his pardon us all forgive us for this act and that man was so embarrassed. This is his daughter. It's all yours is no no, it's I did know we it's your goodness that you say, but the right thing that we should do is to ask your permission before being and he didn't ask you.
And the don't do that, but I don't know what overpowered them Nostalgia right fruits which not the thing. You must ask your permission. And then this is of course they can they can eat as much as they want to see all the things they can rather than caution order the troops that are on the earth. They can be taken to some the tree. You should not be disturbed anymore. Now, that's how this work is about.
Now what happened contrary to this reminds me which I must say also that we give you a different picture of Baba here this penitent and on behalf of his own dear ones his big Gardens here at the person be early. Now what happened now? We are also having covered all the northern regions of the country. We are going towards the South and the South
Because the crowd and the people the Sea of humanity and every day every are the other has to be in the midst of it night and day night and day night and day solder is like just being wrong because like that they are not going to describe that what happened is Baba is tired, and we have a right of the place with isn't very big program means there is a crowd of tens of thousands of people the city Network.
But he has just arrived. It's almost dusk time.
So the host of the place is an owner of the ferry service and he arrived at a river Down based on the One Bank of the river and there's a big city based on the other Bank of the river. It's a big river called Guadalupe River that divides the two cities you see the town and the City.
The size is known as Koval that said is known as rajamundry.
And the trains pass over huge Bridges there and all that. You know, it's there.
So
The owner there are the vertical the host knowing fully. Well that have tired a person can become and must be and now the altar has come he has come here to he has honored us so we should take great care of his body and all that. So he thought of it. So he made arrangements for all the men to be on One Bank of the river in Kovu. This town will be a derived and he finished with Baba that he had made arrangements.
Baba to cross the river and be on this island side quieter side. The city is further away. Of course not on the bank as this kindness.
So his last father's permission his brother made such arrangements and all that and my launches are there these are electrified and motors and all that and there are beds there in bathrooms and everything there everything is fine like your house boats. So we'll take you from this bank that bank and you can have a nice rest in peace because we are seeing hearing the tumult of the people who are gathered from different Villages, you know, what's in store.
Us another series he passes back and says I'm very happy that you're so considerate and all that made me happy bothersome. It's good idea. Very good idea. I'll have some rest that's how bad on and myself and there was one other person two of us and Baba with to sit in that launch and the motor launch and we are progressive proceeding towards the other bank with him the owner.
Host and everything from where we're from Koval towards the other Bank of godavari.
Everything's fine. It's electrified you could the switch on the motor is working and all that. So as long as we want the motor works has been you don't want the light motor is Switched Off and all that stuff is fine. Now the liked it he feel comfortable and he had got some he'd also bye-bye ate some food. He gave us some food and he felt very comfortable and it took bothers me and says Travis is what time is the program probably start the program because people have already started.
Coming soon as we started we had seven o'clock swill it be convenient whenever you want. What time will be T and all that will be have a breakfast loan. So he'll have to bring your tea and breakfast here. And then after you have your tea and breakfast shouldn't be the place and be their fathers ready at 6 o'clock in the morning.
As usual wins after having her had his bath and there are changes and everything is inside.
Had good night's rest Baba liked it very much. It is so peaceful. And so quiet except the river flow of the river big reversible girl.
6:30
When are they going to come?
And the other says have the Forgotten us and you can even hear the tumult of the people that is gathering over there. You see we have to go now and they'll be coming most probably they are forgotten. When will the PV house then after Tina silly. We need some time to go to toilet or something like that. What would happen? You know, Bob has a practical person he starts going on and on and on. Yeah filling our years with his Wars you see about after
Before T. And after T. What's going to happen as usual style was that?
So then bother got out of the launch now, he's strolling on the beach, you know impatiently and we are standing and deeply looking at the other side. They never going to come sure enough. There is a launch title and he said father key is going to come and see me because there's the launch of started coming towards us. The other stock will look here.
So the first donor comes the is the host. He's a big person minded a very influential person vice president governance would come so he would be the host to them also at the time of the British Isles. So he comes there. The first thing is that's out the streets before bother rather since and brought tea and breakfast for us.
It's getting late this man.
Almost his heart stopped. He said his brother. You didn't hate Ian could definitely this is how am I supposed to have you promised that to be sent but it hasn't come here. So the man looked at her nothing has come over. I told father this he in the meantime three or four with them the other volunteers who do the Baba, you know, that's gone Ababa. They are also taken advantage of this launch and they have come so poker.
Was this Kumar his father-in-law he was there and some to others had come so he said Baba just turns to him you forgot me and you know, but all the others have activity and they are to breakfast here. That's right. You took care of them, but he is going to pay for me. You don't remember me his looks at poker and commas take him take hold of him and throw him in the river Ganga.
And he actually thinking that it's so serious a thing. So he tries to abscond from there. He runs and they are running after him is the same play mind you he is the hope they're the host was there and Baba is begging pardon there with his folded hands and here he has committed them. It's difficult. It is for him to do that. See how he is. He perfect in every attitude is just throwing down hit you forgot us.
And you remember the whole crowd over there and he didn't care for me?
From their Honey's receive and the others enjoy and that man is thinking that is so serious and they are going to catch hold of him and throw him in the river if it was a bulky person is running and not David and stopped and all that cause they caught hold of him and then brought him by the called them his girl. What happened. Why did you forget that?
You should have forgotten first thought must have been about me coming in remember that because I am and because I am that were all else's without me. Nothing is there and he begged pardon father forgive him then caressed him and Loud anything. If you don't want to hear anything I said that's gonna that's how he went in there because the whole day
So see the opposite side opposite angles his attitude.
And about the flashing of the fruits, you should ask gazelle or money to describe it. As Governor is very sad, and there's nobody we sitting there but ReNew Life.
And we had usually by about find a mango Grove or guava Grove be called the pig to answer to do some of the food Gardens already Gardner to if it is possible on our way. We'll stop for the night under the shade of the trees Assad and the scattering will be shout somewhere. They're well protected.
We had reached that place is after dusk little dark some other we manage this and put the Caravan there and all that. Now what happened is that the human is to be inside the Caravan and the Caravan was some the fact which nobody knew, none of us knew who was responsible for parking it nor the women knew, what was there around it? So what happened? Is that all of a sudden?
Governor I think believe I believe so you are asked the story but this has happened so Chic staggered out of the Caravan and then all of a sudden confronted something like a tree there any City so a back touch the whole thing and shook the tree very harshly. So all the papaya is that were right the whole started falling on her head and she was so horrified with this you see what's happening here. It's all in darkness.
After go him maybe doctors who suffered this you ask them and then because they are a no papaya.
This is an account of his doctor Perugia coming this time, you know, yeah, he's kind of gotten very very much.
You are hazy somebody. He's the reason I'm here right now. I mean he got me to come.
He brought you to come with he got me to make the decision to finally come telling about his story about all the astronomers and astrologers in India. What they were predicting the next July 10th.
And you believe and I believe wholeheartedly I said Now's the Time to go this good optimal is the belief.
Now don't tell her she's the man like you with the case with your trip here. Then what will happen to us soon. Leave us.
Same thing except some say much and some said you are on the same side of the sun which is quite unusual.
What happened 500 years ago, they see great disturbances take Lex.
Who are they?
But eventually we do.
Because of her contact with him.
Because of having heard him her from those who were with him keeping it all depends upon.
We're forever and your endeavors to keep in close touch with her that you will be able to recognize him instantly. Otherwise, there is little vacillation, but eventually you do.
Once found Never Last that's his principle.
The bill is that there are a good many chances of many sitting over here ourselves.
He said that he will come out to 700 years. We are staunch Believers in our calendar Baba will learn her the other very much. I'm talking giving you a picture of seven hundred years, hence you see and well or a great family of Babylon as you see we are spread out over the world and all that and there he is in our midst and he declares himself. He proclaims himself is and same one come again and all that and that is all possibility for us to visit him, but well
He speaks he should have come in silence because he had never broken his silence. We had heard that or did he break a servings of what has happened? But he doesn't seem to have the same traits is synthesized the field.
He was something would be good. That would make us if we are not close to him. We are not endeavored enough to remain close to him. So this little vacillation is bound to be late follow when accepting them. But eventually will you accept the circumstances prevailing at the time will be such that you will be the friend of somebody who has accepted him and you would want to
Preheat to your friends other than his Proclamation. So naturally this will get you closer and closer and closer things.
Security speak about sequences before the god.
That is the only thing that one has to be in his called anything more than that.
Comes in the way of her being in his presence.
Only when you become like that like that all that is what he has used the word.
Here this time. He has used the word like a dust particle. Unless you become a particle of dust. It's not possible for you. See his reduce yourself.
Use yourself to that.
We have been talking a lot about this you have been here for quite a few weeks now about how Baba wants us to face ourselves and
Buffoonery is one of the personalities of one who has his Johnson being the fool being a fool.
Oh for Christ's sake. Yeah who put him of course not in the world are in yourself.
You have to consider yourself to be a whose neighbors, but we continue with our assertion that I know. Why should I how can I be a fool? I know I know I am orders if anybody is to the whole world were to say that well, you are a fool. Okay, you may be a but I'm not I'll say that assertion will be such the more people will point out my foolishness stronger. I will assert my
What wisdom?
To get ourselves a new stood us to disturb the phone. I still remember the site in Melbourne. We were the Gaba.
And
He heard of France's the transfer that is all know brothers. Are you heard of him? So Francis had not come and stayed with the other. This is the first visit of Baba to Australia at the invitation of France's brothers are
Develop a long time ago. Yeah it is which year was the 1956 5656 of 36?
So we were housed in the warehouse where Ross is staying with his life Kitty.
So that is known as mad house and people have gathered over there and met another then there was the there was a in the program and visit to another place Melbourne City of Melbourne from Sydney in another.
There we were housed at a place a doctor. Dr. O'Brien was a host at the time.
So we are housed over there and all that and it's customary with I think in every Advantage is say it is like that that whenever he houses himself in any house deems fit to be there. He always asks the owners to make it.
Nobody should come there. If you are prepared to vacate wholesale. He all your family and everything think in any.
So
Dr. O'Brien his wife and all had vacated the place and kept it at Baba's disposal and disposal of his buffoons around there. We were all there even Francis the host was not supposed to be there. So Francis was somewhere in one of the Shacks outside the unit some and now this is morning our this is the scene. I am see Baba is already after washing everything, please.
Is ready to receive anybody he's waiting for his tea and breakfast time and Francis Baba says his time time as I see France is coming and price is coming. So Bob is a smile goes further and he is about to place this on the dining table the trade just brought the tape about and he's approaching and we by Bob and myself at the back Baba is in Bobby's approaching.
All of a sudden what overtook him I don't know. He starts he starts shouting and crying Pope. Hula. Hula hula and he - other he's going to throw the whole tree down you see but that was a spontaneous Outdoors to see
What a fool he is in the presence of the Ancient One. This is spontaneous recognition.
So unless and until we recognize of being a buffoon in his presence or a fool, whatever you call it.
We don't feel comfortable and tears of joy.
That shook his whole body. Is he when he recognized? What a feeling he is. I still remember that. It was a very touching side and Baba helped him to put the created his own hands and embraced him and all that.
And the Chinese said that none from being a fool introduce yourself to a particle of dust that nothing.
Yes, I don't know whether to clarify something.
Holy cow.
This was an episode. Did you hear this before never had thank dollars for winning that subject of in the tarot the game of the tarot begins and ends with the full cart like the journey supposedly to begin begins and ends with that you are.
He have being so foolish that I have life in the world and then becoming a real thing of the altar.
That's what
She knows many such good episodes of Full the Lord story that I heard real recently and it's the story of the prophet and he was traveling and he had with him a disciple and they were traveling through the countryside and every night. They would stop somewhere and beg for food and for rest, but her beginning of oh you at the beginning that on one condition that this
This man has taken on the door that he should not ask the reason.
It is.
The same thing
My offices and then she then one day they're they're traveling and walking and just as hot and Dusty and they're very tired and there's just this one little Hut in the distance and they're very very poor people. And so the prophet says, okay, we'll go here and stop here. So they knock on the door and saying the name of the Lord. Will you have food? Can you
Give us food. Do you have someplace outside perhaps that we could just rest for the night and the farmer says oh, please please come in right now and the Hut is so tiny that all there is is just like one map for then for the farmer and his wife and the ad they have no possessions. It's not even really any food in the house, but they have one cow and the cow feeds.
Family by giving milk. And so it's a sit down sit down here and his wife gets up and they fixed everything as best as they can fix it and they Milk The Cow immediately to get cow to the Lord and give them butter and everything that they can think of to make him at home. So the profit and the disciple they drink and they eat and they sit there and then the farmer says now you must be tired after such a long journey.
So here you lie here and go to sleep here and the province's oh, but that's your bed because no nothing less you take it there my wife and I will be fine. So they sleep the night there and in the morning they get up and the prophet doesn't say much and it turns out that the farmer comes in and he relates to them how the cow died during the night. That's their one possession account. And so the prophet says thank you and that's it. No, nothing much has said no more.
More is given and they go on and the disciple of course looks and he's thinking in terms of what is this they give us all this hospitality. And this is the way God answers it there cow dies, but he doesn't say anything because he remembers his promise to obey and not to question the ways of the Lord so they walk on and on and finally night falls and they reached the outskirts of an area of the promises we must find
And a place now to rest were I'm too tired to go further and there's a Merchant's home. So he says we'll stop here. So he has the disciple in himself. They go to the home knock they please will you give us food and shelter and the merchant looks at them?
He does. All right over there the prophet sustained q and makes great salon and you know praising him and disciples wondering what in the world can this be this man's just like throwing us to the very edge of the height of the barn and here he lives in this mansion and here God has given him food and servants and well fun anything that you could want he has and yet he just gives us to the soul deserted.
Storeroom is what it is, but the prophet doesn't say anything and then they put down there, you know baggage and it's knife always is there anything that you have to have something extra anything, you know some water perhaps just something we're so tired from our journey. Do you have anything that you could spare? I know this is asking a lot but perhaps something and the merchant again looks at them Lisa.
Is this water there? And then he sends and gives the crust of dry stale Roti. I mean something that you give more for the animals than you would to humans and yet let alone here's the prophet comes to a guest but the prophet says nothing and in a way he's more polite for this Merchant than he was to the farmer. So the disciple is more and more perplexed on how can this day? But he doesn't say anything so that night they
Sleep on them on the floor and they have their water and they're stale bread and the next morning The Profit goes to the merchants and he says to him with all my heart. Thank you for your graciousness. I know you went so out of your way to help us that we would like to do something for you. So I have sent for the best carpenters and Mason's I noticed there was a hole in your wall in the Hut where we stayed and I'll have them.
Fix it so that it's like new the merchants is thank you. Thank you so much. I love disciple is just he's turning red with the Rage of how this can be that the prophets treated him. So with such utter kindness when he's been so rude and inhospitable, but he doesn't say our Worm but finally when they finally leave and they've walked miles and again dusk is beginning to fall. He can't contain himself any more.
Because Prophet I must ask I just can't contain this anymore. How can it be that this is how God treats those who love him the farmer gave us everything he was so pleased to have you and his cow dies and here this Merchant is so inhospitable gives us a crust of bread and you repair his barn and the prophet says to him never question the ways of the Lord for you don't know.
No, his ultimate kindness and mercy to all let me tell you what went on behind the scenes that farmer who loved the Lord and treated us with such kindness. It was his fate and destiny that his wife should die in the night. The only other one that he had love and companionship with so because of his love for God and His hostility hospitality.
To the prophet his wife was spared and it's Dad. We traded the cow and the disciple of his now a little quieter that he goes to what about the merchant. I mean, why did you repair his wall? And he says Ah Ah again, it was the fate of that Merchants that he himself would have repaired the wall and discovered this vast treasure, which had been buried
Underneath but because of the way he treated God's Prophet. It was no longer in his destiny that he should receive that bouncing. So what you see on the surface God always knows as most benevolent.
This reminds me of a beautiful story about another person is not nothing to do with that. But about God's mercy and God's power all the time the struggle between one wanting that the gods stood.
God should use his power for many things you see but what's the matter what's happened doesn't listen. I stole the Arctic vehicles because the cops are exchanged. What was the idea that the author doesn't use do Miracles but often does gross exchanges.

Driving is the place which he always remember is the last place where Baba was brought here before he passed away. He and the gardens outside the premises these two trees that you see the small plants are the time just as these you see these things occasionally called
Smaller ones and at that time he was in seclusion in 1968 and it was at that time. He seems that he was doing his Universal work and says this is the real thing that I am I'm after now and all the time he would beat his tie all the time. You'll see he could hear only the thud and the way he had worked upon his thighs whatever you call it what therapy gave? I don't know it. Will he
Gave us a little excuse. He says if I don't do this then my link with the gross will be snapped. This is to keep myself in the body. Yeah anchored to this world. It's not my work is over but this is the thing that will it's it's for something to come and maybe you all are the products of that work. That's how we take it. So he was very adamant and it so happened that this even made him.
Lose the elasticity of his thighs and legs. He couldn't stand at the time last days. You see we'll talk about those funny days. You see that we passed the last year he all of a sudden in the midst of this. He said look, I'm going to step out of my seclusion for one day and I want it. He said some days in advance on 34d. He said so for that day, I want lepers and some number of levels are forget now hundred fifty.
200 or so send word out we couldn't go we are leaving around him. So we have to send note to our D & RG will see to others as you would write to funan Bombay and get the lepers and all the surface. So get the letters Tommy. I'm here to fix the time and all that at that time. Naturally when the word was sent out to Baba people not all over the places. You can get lepers from Delhi and Agra and like that.
So what went round and they came to know that on a particular day Bob is going to be out of seclusion and it was a great treat for them and lepers will be there and many others would come there. The truck drivers would be they're bringing lepers. You can't bring lepers in a bus you have to use the truck and for that no other truck would admit such a thing as he so they we requisitioned the track of Bubbles and they agreed of course, they'll all this had to go through the article.
So the day was fixed board went around and the as a result of the word going around in Pune. There is an institution. This was considered to be a very big institution filming institution. And there's a director of filming institutions Film Institute of India. It is known as and the director was a beloved whole family, so he heard it and he Java is to go every now and then to Barbara's brother Joel would go
And so through July he heard this this is all that's a good opportunity to get my students to see because we need some shots to be filled and they have filled with plenty of film. This is a government project. So can I come so naturally job I wrote here and we said of course anybody can there's no restriction on anybody coming forward. There's no noise. In the meantime. There was one in Bombay who had come from Holland. His name is Louis one Gaston.
Producers directors and all that film producer so he heard about it and he was having shots for his film called. There's no plane to the graph title of the film is no plain to see God it is in which language can rot in that year. So this now but he gave a sentence in foreign language Zach has something like that the meaning of it and I'm very honored. What is that? It's in Yugoslavia you are.
I will name them. So they use that language. That is that no. No that's on this team because that fitted into team of his film. So he wrote and naturally Baba permit insist. Anybody can come but Bob they don't bother me. They don't come and interfere in my work whatever they want. They can do it.
So that was all fine morning Dawn and we had prepared the leopards have come and they are being queued and lined up and all sorts of things that go with it is done what happens is now van comes from Pune and this man brings his cone crew and he comes in a van to with all these cameras and recording equipment and all the so they did in the beginning is outside monthly Hall. There is a little space with our ways to do that work with the lepers up or whatever it is and you'll find in
There's a stand like reading so there are two steps on the side. Yeah, it's the bathing stand without bathing. The feet people would go up one one side for one side man woman climb up. The stand are facing Bob and Bob out wash the feet and dry them and then bow down and then the power woman. Of course, I need the gift will be given with these words. Please accept this gift. It's a gift from God. Please accept
Kept him in a blue. Please accept it and oblige him. So these were the stock phrases. So they're person without registering what's happening, you know will accept it. But every time each time we had to say it. This is a gift from God. Please accept it in oblige him. What is it mean oblige him because it would be so good of you if you take it if you refuse it. He'll be displeased to be obliged by accepting his obliging
So it was it the oldest was in progress and all of a sudden they will given freedom to do what they like these two groups that are come all of a sudden there seemed to be an approach somewhere in a corner and the louder voice was of we when Gaston the Dutch and Baba looked up and says what's going on. He asked me find out so I go there and I stand there and what's happening is heated argument and exchange of words.
And and I said, what is the matter what his baba is inquiring what's happened? This is the Lewis says to me. He says look this man has come over here and it's my day and he's a loving his people to shoot and I don't like that. It's my day and so so I go back to Baba Baba call us cause for themselves for them become. So what's the matter? So we again bursts out. This is Baba. You've given me the permission and I am taking the I've got all this.
Really see from long distances and here he comes and shoots the film like this. You see it's my day Bible says neither your day nor his day is my day. Yeah, and then he winked at his own man. That is the director of Film Institute. Keep it alive him. So whatever little cat thinks that have been captured in the tiny wheel of I don't know how many minutes it is 5/6. Yeah. I said just that the rest we haven't got but then Baba even went to the extent he again,
Came and ask Baba to come over here. He had seen the spot and he wanted the seclusion Hill to be as the backdrop for this stage you see and he wanted to have a lot of filming done here. This is sound felt so he made Baba sit over here and then he went away and the crew were there and Bob a good time with the crew. They were recording something and then he comes all of a sudden from the bush here somewhere. He had gone to dress himself. He comes as an Indian with a red turban and
I'll have you seen that shot and you bring some flowers or something office to Baba and then he asks the question about drug on drugs. That's how it is.
That's the last film we have Ababa apart from the film that was taken. It was not a film that has been taken but some shots were taken at the time when dhara and breath got married and they were allowed to come for the reception over here.
So that is the last picture you have in monthly Hall. You haven't seen that picture in manly Hall stick in 40 days before he passed away. Oh, yes the last picture Barbossa very nice. So it's one of the body frames from the little film that had been taken. So that's how it is. This is the place now the tree of grown wild and we don't even see the you don't even you don't even see the hill there.
John tells me will you do one favor now the last four o'clock in the afternoon mind you we are whole day after running after him like puppies around so this is what is it? What is it that you want? You know this? Well, this is nice that is taking place in the neighborhood at that time. There was no electricity here. So then it already is a diesel engines important thing water or
Will be Flour Mill working so they have India on the exhaust 5 that is there. They put a small vessel an empty tin or something. So it goes it makes the sauce and like cool cool cool. It's like that sound others that the things are working. This is can you not stop as a how can I call Cloud all these places and we didn't have many hands at the time or in his no. No, please. Do I said, why do you want them to be stopped your film them and everything you had
Recorded this is no but the most important part of my film is to record the sound of the Silence of this place.
I think what about the words that this is that comes within the Silence has become and they worry there was an English lady bunny Margaret cars, which she was asked. Also when she returned from India after all you were there for many years. What did you do? What was the thing that was happening there? What what what was your activity?
And also she did was she buried down and picked up a rock and throw it in the air and came down at him luckily didn't come on ahead. We fell down she picked it up to the man who had asked the question was very curious thinking that what's the matter with this woman has she gone crazy and she did it about three or four time and then she turned see what we did.
You did exactly as you wanted us to do if he were to tell us to throw the story of to Troy and came down secret again, you do it went this is how we spent our life doing exactly what he wanted us to do. This is a secret, you know the time when Baba had told us that they will come a time.
When
The crowd will be so large so big that you will have no room for yourselves used to he will be thrown out. So we each one of us has selected a window to jump out of your window.
My jump out of this. There's no way to get out mind you I will have to jump over the wall. And on that side. There's a different world. You see there are all women there. I will have to jump back again. This is a special window. You see I think to throw somebody to throw somebody through the window, you know, what happened is then this was a stable as he says and it was very crude thing at the time.
And whatever you see now, it's just face lifting is the miracle of face lifting, you know the process as it is called you can transform a person in just little patches of Rouge and powder and paste and all that says likewise. It is formally if you have seen how it was at the time of Baba you will believe it.
Because as he as he saying the same thing destroy and dung and everything was good, but these walls and all that you see took shape much later and all the trappings that you see about the pictures and portraits and oil paint. And this is what you call those carpets and all took place after Baba dropped his body. So at the time when this stable was here and the horse that was made that was she hot
The figure grew up into a big man. See a filly was presented Barbara a new life and she was table here. She grew up to be a big animal and there was no dog here. No windows were there there was a little there was a big post, you know, wooden post there and wooden post here these fellows and through them you have those what they call what they called the stones of wooden poles to keep the animals away from there is to get around.
So that's how it would they were three posts like the tree bad very Kate like him. Now. What happened? Is that one day he had the pleasure to say that the animal has grown very big and all that is uncontrollable because mayor money and other Western Eastern women would come and tend to that. There was a groom there, but he would come just for a short while and the rest of the thing.
They looked after that babalao. Did you see many pictures that she would come running to Baba and just kiss Baba and kiss because each one had self-interest are coming over here and kissing his threshold in this also has that same trait. I always am remain reminded.
Of the picture you see when I find myself here is just that she would run up to Baba and all that and when you see that you admire the picture how the animal loves baba but it's the carrot that is in the pocket that brings that that's in there. You see she raised her head up and allow it to be kissed by Baba and she would keep Bob and all that and neutering knowing very well that the next instant would be a big carrot in her mouth. Yeah the facade.
So that's how we are also one of the different variegated ways. You see maybe we have lost many interesting characters. Now we are interested in his patent in his kiss and all that sort of thing without any recompense of reward for it.
So but it is there some sort of carrot is still there in our minds. So
When the animal was given it was given to the military over here. It was a military station is still a manifestation. So they had the stud farm and all that so they liked it and they they had her.
After that, he had another pleasure to come over here and sit here and call us around and then says any letters here real out the letters. He got the reports was that and we started sitting in the straw who covered there was no flooring or anything else Oracle just
Earth
And after every day one day we thought that he had a fancy second day. We thought that he had a friend he sat on a soapbox. That was there used by the groom in the corner there. That was the seat he occupied first. We thought that her heel again resumed his own place that there is a room which I love occupies now was the room for us to gather.
But he came here every day then we said that well, we should do something because the dust would be up here and all that will be walk or and her son. We started watering the place where it is. Damn. It's not good for Baba and for us also to sit on the damn soiled. So what we did was one day we got a lot of cow dung and plastered it and you know cow dung plaster use greatly in India, you find all the good things that are good earth that is covered.
Is made into a nice place? It's a decent place doesn't soil our backs or anything. So it is sit on it. It keeps warm the time of Summer and cool in summer and warm in winter. So we continued our days over here there is whatever the roof that was. It was so know that in the summer. It was very hot and all that and we began to feel the heat and how much more he would feel so we had a lot of thoughts to see we should do something we should
Have a door over here or do something eventually permitted or to put here. So we put the doll that was all right, we put it in because he asked us to spend money and get the door fixed that was done. But there were no windows. Anyway, except that good. Then what happened is that we said that we should have some windows Baba for ventilation to the best because that door he would shut he won't want it to be open while he's here. Even Chile. We removed that soapbox and
Good had that chair on which Michelle is sitting now that is the chair that he used it. So we kept it there and he started using days are passing by years are passing by and he said every now and then we'll see Baba then speed we need a wood window or so. This is what's the hurry about it a lot of year 700 years, you know, then you can do it. There's no hurry about it. No whitewash. There was no such there is no plastic. Yeah, you'll see.
All these things all this is covered up by paying you see because we have an Emulsion paint not oil paint versus different type of things. It is covered up its washable. We do it after our pastor within the otherwise. It was just cracks and cracked wall and all even here. This is so people that have some strong person comes in. He once Paul Paul is not here now Peter no audience cousin.
And his friend I am reminded of his friend was gone. If he were to just lean against it heavily. It might fall off. It's like that this one all these things are lose me pictures you see in mud and Bricks so
Essentially we knew that is not proper. It's not hygienic and all that stuff. If you need some ventilation know people started coming in and out whenever he would go out on clothes. We didn't have much money at the time. So Kaka who would be the manager over here. Sometimes Pottery would be here from mehrabad in Baba's absence Paris would be called from mehrabad. So among themselves. They thought of having the windows and be used to tell them that do something while Baba is
So they them to cured these Springs you see from we have a market here where all the stolen goods are collected. You see in character. You can if you lose a your car part you go to that market and you find your own carpod the it's like we all have that in America. Yeah, he's my dad you have that. So here we have culture Macho bizarre you call it children's teeth doesn't show that he actually shh, so this is how so in that
A short but these frames you see different frames so time. And again whenever little money was there one cream would be put there before Babu derived return no shutters and mind. You see then he said what is this blue wind is growing. So then the shuttle would be fixed. So likewise whatever was available. We got it fixed and naturally that therefore you find different things. Now this numbering the figures that are there on the wall is because after y'all started coming,
Brought in all the headaches to RCC of a projector and screen and the film and darkening the room and all that. We unheard of he never would darken our room here in daylight. You see daylight is meant to have light but no you have to see the film so you can't see in the night. So what to do now. So this is how all over numbered and he had an all-over number, you know, there is no system.
He had these little things cut out. So whichever came first he faced. There's nothing as systematic thing. You know, that's how it is.
Erykah Badu light fruit trees trees are yeah. I told you that I'll tell you a story. You asked me that question who was the one you are seeing the big black folks and all that as time above us here. He used to do that bubble of dust and will thus remove this episode of the group of
Ladies would come and visited murabba the other day also, etcetera so nice there is a comfortable living and why shouldn't it be so so that our Lord we were here it was a comfortable living in a sense that within bounds. It was comfortable and you ask you would allow us to enjoy how interesting a life whatever in a natural way that's children would have interest in life in playing about in big groups of anything on the side.
Heart so that he allowed be permitted in all that and he would also enjoy seeing us enjoy. So that's how it works. But there is one one wonderful thing that happened that I think it was in we had gone once to it was a fire if he like new lifetimes are the faces different phases as I told you all the rows of Manolo.
Space that even to the stakes and it is called the complicated free life after that why he was in the states and you and I have to go out in the country and then when we return even he returned he returned from our long tour of the country and when y'all were together Baba said that wherever whatever the case is you had been wherever you had gone the draw a chart out and I'll select the places and then we go.
And he did go to many places in this country, but one place in the north, then we had gone there in the district of humming pool as it is called at the time the whole District it would of course we have went to kanpur and jhansi and there'll be another big citizen of that is different. But this episode took place in that District other place in remote Village Baba had been received.
As as Delta of the age and so but they were so poor that they didn't know how to house the Lord but whatever they considered it to be the best in the place is here made it comfortable for Baba and allows Baba to stay there in comfort so we have now just arrived at a place.
I still remember that and I be with Baba all the time. I'm David Barber to undress him dressing on this and that and make him wash his face and comb this hair and all that would be there. And those who were with him. There are 74 people with him Gravely need the country - Anna. No not that animals were all all the other Human animals were the finger at the time. He has all of us 74 will go to give you this but when Bob has
Waters but I was very young. I was attending to not is everything was over there just to write an hour hour-and-a-half must have passed by and the rest of the group was housed somewhere else in different a little hats and all that of those people who are vacated themselves and allowed them to school and they were at a distance right from here. So beyond beyond the clinic and all that. Dr. Baba is ready and all you do.
Houses, there are those people there are people they must be house somewhere. Come on, let's go to them. So now we are going towards the place and from a distance Baba sees all of his people scattered and they are doing some sort of gymnastics team from a distance. He didn't know what they were bending down and they're doing this and being that and as he approached he found that they were busy.
Throwing stones on the trees bearing fruit. She's trying to drop the fruits from the yeah. I'll be there when we are children to do that father. Look at mises who sees that whose team, you know, we have arrows here be calling bathe at the Time season of was of the day. So I said, I don't know most probably belongs to the one who has who's our host.
So what had happened is now the Baba is now with the group love is what are y'all doing what what's this they are very shy now because they have been spotted this isn't where the we are breaking the we are getting the fruits from the team. Did you ask the permission of the owner whose story is that there was a local people around also who where are the people of the villages who had invited Barbara?
Who is the owner of the some gentleman there who owns this whole plot of land? So the tree belongs to him so bad asked his mom saying that have you taken the permission of that person break the fish from the tree like that.
There's no the right. So we thought that it was really delicious things. You see when you get right through to the arrows as we call them gay. This is called the man. The man was called he came he was very happy that the author of the time you see has taken notice of him and notice of reactions and sent special call message of call. So he comes for the folded hands and all that he pays his respects.
This is to Baba is changed. So data is standing all the time impatiently waiting for him to come see us coming. So Baba grows the then while he is pressing. He says please Baba stops him from that and says I have called you for one thing that I had to ask pardon on behalf of my men who are destroying the tree without your permission.
I know it's not proper for us to do that. But they forgot to ask your permission. So on the behalf, I asked you party believe his pardon us all forgive us for this act and that man was so embarrassed. This is his daughter. It's all yours is no no, it's I did know we it's your goodness that you say, but the right thing that we should do is to ask your permission before being and he didn't ask you.
And the don't do that, but I don't know what overpowered them Nostalgia right fruits which not the thing. You must ask your permission. And then this is of course they can they can eat as much as they want to see all the things they can rather than caution order the troops that are on the earth. They can be taken to some the tree. You should not be disturbed anymore. Now, that's how this work is about.
Now what happened contrary to this reminds me which I must say also that we give you a different picture of Baba here this penitent and on behalf of his own dear ones his big Gardens here at the person be early. Now what happened now? We are also having covered all the northern regions of the country. We are going towards the South and the South
Because the crowd and the people the Sea of humanity and every day every are the other has to be in the midst of it night and day night and day night and day solder is like just being wrong because like that they are not going to describe that what happened is Baba is tired, and we have a right of the place with isn't very big program means there is a crowd of tens of thousands of people the city Network.
But he has just arrived. It's almost dusk time.
So the host of the place is an owner of the ferry service and he arrived at a river Down based on the One Bank of the river and there's a big city based on the other Bank of the river. It's a big river called Guadalupe River that divides the two cities you see the town and the City.
The size is known as Koval that said is known as rajamundry.
And the trains pass over huge Bridges there and all that. You know, it's there.
So
The owner there are the vertical the host knowing fully. Well that have tired a person can become and must be and now the altar has come he has come here to he has honored us so we should take great care of his body and all that. So he thought of it. So he made arrangements for all the men to be on One Bank of the river in Kovu. This town will be a derived and he finished with Baba that he had made arrangements.
Baba to cross the river and be on this island side quieter side. The city is further away. Of course not on the bank as this kindness.
So his last father's permission his brother made such arrangements and all that and my launches are there these are electrified and motors and all that and there are beds there in bathrooms and everything there everything is fine like your house boats. So we'll take you from this bank that bank and you can have a nice rest in peace because we are seeing hearing the tumult of the people who are gathered from different Villages, you know, what's in store.
Us another series he passes back and says I'm very happy that you're so considerate and all that made me happy bothersome. It's good idea. Very good idea. I'll have some rest that's how bad on and myself and there was one other person two of us and Baba with to sit in that launch and the motor launch and we are progressive proceeding towards the other bank with him the owner.
Host and everything from where we're from Koval towards the other Bank of godavari.
Everything's fine. It's electrified you could the switch on the motor is working and all that. So as long as we want the motor works has been you don't want the light motor is Switched Off and all that stuff is fine. Now the liked it he feel comfortable and he had got some he'd also bye-bye ate some food. He gave us some food and he felt very comfortable and it took bothers me and says Travis is what time is the program probably start the program because people have already started.
Coming soon as we started we had seven o'clock swill it be convenient whenever you want. What time will be T and all that will be have a breakfast loan. So he'll have to bring your tea and breakfast here. And then after you have your tea and breakfast shouldn't be the place and be their fathers ready at 6 o'clock in the morning.
As usual wins after having her had his bath and there are changes and everything is inside.
Had good night's rest Baba liked it very much. It is so peaceful. And so quiet except the river flow of the river big reversible girl.
6:30
When are they going to come?
And the other says have the Forgotten us and you can even hear the tumult of the people that is gathering over there. You see we have to go now and they'll be coming most probably they are forgotten. When will the PV house then after Tina silly. We need some time to go to toilet or something like that. What would happen? You know, Bob has a practical person he starts going on and on and on. Yeah filling our years with his Wars you see about after
Before T. And after T. What's going to happen as usual style was that?
So then bother got out of the launch now, he's strolling on the beach, you know impatiently and we are standing and deeply looking at the other side. They never going to come sure enough. There is a launch title and he said father key is going to come and see me because there's the launch of started coming towards us. The other stock will look here.
So the first donor comes the is the host. He's a big person minded a very influential person vice president governance would come so he would be the host to them also at the time of the British Isles. So he comes there. The first thing is that's out the streets before bother rather since and brought tea and breakfast for us.
It's getting late this man.
Almost his heart stopped. He said his brother. You didn't hate Ian could definitely this is how am I supposed to have you promised that to be sent but it hasn't come here. So the man looked at her nothing has come over. I told father this he in the meantime three or four with them the other volunteers who do the Baba, you know, that's gone Ababa. They are also taken advantage of this launch and they have come so poker.
Was this Kumar his father-in-law he was there and some to others had come so he said Baba just turns to him you forgot me and you know, but all the others have activity and they are to breakfast here. That's right. You took care of them, but he is going to pay for me. You don't remember me his looks at poker and commas take him take hold of him and throw him in the river Ganga.
And he actually thinking that it's so serious a thing. So he tries to abscond from there. He runs and they are running after him is the same play mind you he is the hope they're the host was there and Baba is begging pardon there with his folded hands and here he has committed them. It's difficult. It is for him to do that. See how he is. He perfect in every attitude is just throwing down hit you forgot us.
And you remember the whole crowd over there and he didn't care for me?
From their Honey's receive and the others enjoy and that man is thinking that is so serious and they are going to catch hold of him and throw him in the river if it was a bulky person is running and not David and stopped and all that cause they caught hold of him and then brought him by the called them his girl. What happened. Why did you forget that?
You should have forgotten first thought must have been about me coming in remember that because I am and because I am that were all else's without me. Nothing is there and he begged pardon father forgive him then caressed him and Loud anything. If you don't want to hear anything I said that's gonna that's how he went in there because the whole day
So see the opposite side opposite angles his attitude.
And about the flashing of the fruits, you should ask gazelle or money to describe it. As Governor is very sad, and there's nobody we sitting there but ReNew Life.
And we had usually by about find a mango Grove or guava Grove be called the pig to answer to do some of the food Gardens already Gardner to if it is possible on our way. We'll stop for the night under the shade of the trees Assad and the scattering will be shout somewhere. They're well protected.
We had reached that place is after dusk little dark some other we manage this and put the Caravan there and all that. Now what happened is that the human is to be inside the Caravan and the Caravan was some the fact which nobody knew, none of us knew who was responsible for parking it nor the women knew, what was there around it? So what happened? Is that all of a sudden?
Governor I think believe I believe so you are asked the story but this has happened so Chic staggered out of the Caravan and then all of a sudden confronted something like a tree there any City so a back touch the whole thing and shook the tree very harshly. So all the papaya is that were right the whole started falling on her head and she was so horrified with this you see what's happening here. It's all in darkness.
After go him maybe doctors who suffered this you ask them and then because they are a no papaya.
This is an account of his doctor Perugia coming this time, you know, yeah, he's kind of gotten very very much.
You are hazy somebody. He's the reason I'm here right now. I mean he got me to come.
He brought you to come with he got me to make the decision to finally come telling about his story about all the astronomers and astrologers in India. What they were predicting the next July 10th.
And you believe and I believe wholeheartedly I said Now's the Time to go this good optimal is the belief.
Now don't tell her she's the man like you with the case with your trip here. Then what will happen to us soon. Leave us.
Same thing except some say much and some said you are on the same side of the sun which is quite unusual.
What happened 500 years ago, they see great disturbances take Lex.
Who are they?
But eventually we do.
Because of her contact with him.
Because of having heard him her from those who were with him keeping it all depends upon.
We're forever and your endeavors to keep in close touch with her that you will be able to recognize him instantly. Otherwise, there is little vacillation, but eventually you do.
Once found Never Last that's his principle.
The bill is that there are a good many chances of many sitting over here ourselves.
He said that he will come out to 700 years. We are staunch Believers in our calendar Baba will learn her the other very much. I'm talking giving you a picture of seven hundred years, hence you see and well or a great family of Babylon as you see we are spread out over the world and all that and there he is in our midst and he declares himself. He proclaims himself is and same one come again and all that and that is all possibility for us to visit him, but well
He speaks he should have come in silence because he had never broken his silence. We had heard that or did he break a servings of what has happened? But he doesn't seem to have the same traits is synthesized the field.
He was something would be good. That would make us if we are not close to him. We are not endeavored enough to remain close to him. So this little vacillation is bound to be late follow when accepting them. But eventually will you accept the circumstances prevailing at the time will be such that you will be the friend of somebody who has accepted him and you would want to
Preheat to your friends other than his Proclamation. So naturally this will get you closer and closer and closer things.
Security speak about sequences before the god.
That is the only thing that one has to be in his called anything more than that.
Comes in the way of her being in his presence.
Only when you become like that like that all that is what he has used the word.
Here this time. He has used the word like a dust particle. Unless you become a particle of dust. It's not possible for you. See his reduce yourself.
Use yourself to that.
We have been talking a lot about this you have been here for quite a few weeks now about how Baba wants us to face ourselves and
Buffoonery is one of the personalities of one who has his Johnson being the fool being a fool.
Oh for Christ's sake. Yeah who put him of course not in the world are in yourself.
You have to consider yourself to be a whose neighbors, but we continue with our assertion that I know. Why should I how can I be a fool? I know I know I am orders if anybody is to the whole world were to say that well, you are a fool. Okay, you may be a but I'm not I'll say that assertion will be such the more people will point out my foolishness stronger. I will assert my
What wisdom?
To get ourselves a new stood us to disturb the phone. I still remember the site in Melbourne. We were the Gaba.
And
He heard of France's the transfer that is all know brothers. Are you heard of him? So Francis had not come and stayed with the other. This is the first visit of Baba to Australia at the invitation of France's brothers are
Develop a long time ago. Yeah it is which year was the 1956 5656 of 36?
So we were housed in the warehouse where Ross is staying with his life Kitty.
So that is known as mad house and people have gathered over there and met another then there was the there was a in the program and visit to another place Melbourne City of Melbourne from Sydney in another.
There we were housed at a place a doctor. Dr. O'Brien was a host at the time.
So we are housed over there and all that and it's customary with I think in every Advantage is say it is like that that whenever he houses himself in any house deems fit to be there. He always asks the owners to make it.
Nobody should come there. If you are prepared to vacate wholesale. He all your family and everything think in any.
So
Dr. O'Brien his wife and all had vacated the place and kept it at Baba's disposal and disposal of his buffoons around there. We were all there even Francis the host was not supposed to be there. So Francis was somewhere in one of the Shacks outside the unit some and now this is morning our this is the scene. I am see Baba is already after washing everything, please.
Is ready to receive anybody he's waiting for his tea and breakfast time and Francis Baba says his time time as I see France is coming and price is coming. So Bob is a smile goes further and he is about to place this on the dining table the trade just brought the tape about and he's approaching and we by Bob and myself at the back Baba is in Bobby's approaching.
All of a sudden what overtook him I don't know. He starts he starts shouting and crying Pope. Hula. Hula hula and he - other he's going to throw the whole tree down you see but that was a spontaneous Outdoors to see
What a fool he is in the presence of the Ancient One. This is spontaneous recognition.
So unless and until we recognize of being a buffoon in his presence or a fool, whatever you call it.
We don't feel comfortable and tears of joy.
That shook his whole body. Is he when he recognized? What a feeling he is. I still remember that. It was a very touching side and Baba helped him to put the created his own hands and embraced him and all that.
And the Chinese said that none from being a fool introduce yourself to a particle of dust that nothing.
Yes, I don't know whether to clarify something.
Holy cow.
This was an episode. Did you hear this before never had thank dollars for winning that subject of in the tarot the game of the tarot begins and ends with the full cart like the journey supposedly to begin begins and ends with that you are.
He have being so foolish that I have life in the world and then becoming a real thing of the altar.
That's what
She knows many such good episodes of Full the Lord story that I heard real recently and it's the story of the prophet and he was traveling and he had with him a disciple and they were traveling through the countryside and every night. They would stop somewhere and beg for food and for rest, but her beginning of oh you at the beginning that on one condition that this
This man has taken on the door that he should not ask the reason.
It is.
The same thing
My offices and then she then one day they're they're traveling and walking and just as hot and Dusty and they're very tired and there's just this one little Hut in the distance and they're very very poor people. And so the prophet says, okay, we'll go here and stop here. So they knock on the door and saying the name of the Lord. Will you have food? Can you
Give us food. Do you have someplace outside perhaps that we could just rest for the night and the farmer says oh, please please come in right now and the Hut is so tiny that all there is is just like one map for then for the farmer and his wife and the ad they have no possessions. It's not even really any food in the house, but they have one cow and the cow feeds.
Family by giving milk. And so it's a sit down sit down here and his wife gets up and they fixed everything as best as they can fix it and they Milk The Cow immediately to get cow to the Lord and give them butter and everything that they can think of to make him at home. So the profit and the disciple they drink and they eat and they sit there and then the farmer says now you must be tired after such a long journey.
So here you lie here and go to sleep here and the province's oh, but that's your bed because no nothing less you take it there my wife and I will be fine. So they sleep the night there and in the morning they get up and the prophet doesn't say much and it turns out that the farmer comes in and he relates to them how the cow died during the night. That's their one possession account. And so the prophet says thank you and that's it. No, nothing much has said no more.
More is given and they go on and the disciple of course looks and he's thinking in terms of what is this they give us all this hospitality. And this is the way God answers it there cow dies, but he doesn't say anything because he remembers his promise to obey and not to question the ways of the Lord so they walk on and on and finally night falls and they reached the outskirts of an area of the promises we must find
And a place now to rest were I'm too tired to go further and there's a Merchant's home. So he says we'll stop here. So he has the disciple in himself. They go to the home knock they please will you give us food and shelter and the merchant looks at them?
He does. All right over there the prophet sustained q and makes great salon and you know praising him and disciples wondering what in the world can this be this man's just like throwing us to the very edge of the height of the barn and here he lives in this mansion and here God has given him food and servants and well fun anything that you could want he has and yet he just gives us to the soul deserted.
Storeroom is what it is, but the prophet doesn't say anything and then they put down there, you know baggage and it's knife always is there anything that you have to have something extra anything, you know some water perhaps just something we're so tired from our journey. Do you have anything that you could spare? I know this is asking a lot but perhaps something and the merchant again looks at them Lisa.
Is this water there? And then he sends and gives the crust of dry stale Roti. I mean something that you give more for the animals than you would to humans and yet let alone here's the prophet comes to a guest but the prophet says nothing and in a way he's more polite for this Merchant than he was to the farmer. So the disciple is more and more perplexed on how can this day? But he doesn't say anything so that night they
Sleep on them on the floor and they have their water and they're stale bread and the next morning The Profit goes to the merchants and he says to him with all my heart. Thank you for your graciousness. I know you went so out of your way to help us that we would like to do something for you. So I have sent for the best carpenters and Mason's I noticed there was a hole in your wall in the Hut where we stayed and I'll have them.
Fix it so that it's like new the merchants is thank you. Thank you so much. I love disciple is just he's turning red with the Rage of how this can be that the prophets treated him. So with such utter kindness when he's been so rude and inhospitable, but he doesn't say our Worm but finally when they finally leave and they've walked miles and again dusk is beginning to fall. He can't contain himself any more.
Because Prophet I must ask I just can't contain this anymore. How can it be that this is how God treats those who love him the farmer gave us everything he was so pleased to have you and his cow dies and here this Merchant is so inhospitable gives us a crust of bread and you repair his barn and the prophet says to him never question the ways of the Lord for you don't know.
No, his ultimate kindness and mercy to all let me tell you what went on behind the scenes that farmer who loved the Lord and treated us with such kindness. It was his fate and destiny that his wife should die in the night. The only other one that he had love and companionship with so because of his love for God and His hostility hospitality.
To the prophet his wife was spared and it's Dad. We traded the cow and the disciple of his now a little quieter that he goes to what about the merchant. I mean, why did you repair his wall? And he says Ah Ah again, it was the fate of that Merchants that he himself would have repaired the wall and discovered this vast treasure, which had been buried
Underneath but because of the way he treated God's Prophet. It was no longer in his destiny that he should receive that bouncing. So what you see on the surface God always knows as most benevolent.
This reminds me of a beautiful story about another person is not nothing to do with that. But about God's mercy and God's power all the time the struggle between one wanting that the gods stood.
God should use his power for many things you see but what's the matter what's happened doesn't listen. I stole the Arctic vehicles because the cops are exchanged. What was the idea that the author doesn't use do Miracles but often does gross exchanges.
