Tales to Transform : 02

Time and space hold no barrier for GOD

A group of six devotees had come to have darshan of Baba from Australia . Baba called them for a private interview.
During the normal course of the talk, Baba looked at one of the devotees and asked -- “"Why did you come now. Your mother is not well. She needs you there back in Australia” ".
He replied saying-- “"Yes Baba, I called home yesterday night and this news was conveyed to me. I pray for her early recovery.”"

Baba replied --
“"Go home soon. She is asking for you. In fact go home now.”"
So saying, Baba created a map of the world with the wave of the hand. He spread it on the wall and the following conversation took place : --
BABA : "“Where is Australia in this map ?”"
Devotee : "“Here, Baba .”" (Pointing to the map).
Baba touched it and the world map changed into an Australian map.
BABA : "“Where in Australia do you say ?”"
Devotee :" “New South Wales, Baba .”" (pointing to the map).
Baba touched it and the Australian map changed into the map of New South Wales.
BABA : "“Where in New South Wales do you say ?”"
When the devotee mentioned the place, Baba touched it and the chart changed to show all the apartments in the area.
Then Baba touched the house in which the man was staying and *"lo! the wall of the interview room became the door of the devotee’s home."* Baba opened the door and showed the man his mother sleeping on the sofa. Baba called the man and asked him to go in and closed the door. He rubbed his hands on the door and the door became the wall of the interview room again!
Later when the Australians came out of the interview room, only five came out instead of the six who went in. The students of Prashanthi Nilayam campus saw this. Later they called back the man who was sent to Australia only an hour later, who confirmed his ‘"safe arrival"’.
Baba said that ---
"“Time and space exist only in the worldly plane. In the divine plane there is no time and space. I can easily cross time and space as and when I want to. That experience of the Australian crossing space to reach Australia from the interview room was my leela to show you that it is possible for me to do that if necessary.*Time and space hold no barrier for GOD.”*"

Tales to Transform : 01

''Don't Worry, what ever happens, it always work out for the good!"

There was once a king who ruled over a very happy and prosperous kingdom. 

The king relied on his chief minister to address any and all problems within 

the kingdom. The minister always gave the same advise,no matter what the 

problem was or who presented it to him, ''Don't Worry, what ever happens, 

it always work out for the good!" His advise proved to be wise and true as 

evidence by the ever prospering and happy kingdom.

One day, the king, his minister and the kings entourage went into the forest 

on a hunting expedition. Soon, the king and his minister became separated 

from the remainder of the group and eventually, were hopelessly lost.  

The king soon lost patience with their predicament and began to complain. 

The minister, however, held his composure and responded to the king as he 

always did to any and all problems, "King, Don't Worry! Remember, what 

ever happens, it always work out for the good!"  hearing the ministers oft 

repeated wise words calmed the king for quite some time.However,as 

darkness approached, the king became distraught once again and resumed 

his complaining. The minister attempted to calm him by repeating his words 

of wisdom, but the king continued to protest, citing his inability to run his 

kingdom as the reason for his lack of equanimity. Having compassion for 

kings distress, the minister suggested they rest under a tree for a while. They 

were quite for few minutes, but shortly there after, the king began to complain 

that he was hungry and nothing to eat. The minister looked up, saw a fruit high 

up in the tree and climbed up and brought the fruit down to the king. 

The king was some what appeased, took out his knife and in his haste to peal 

the fruit, cut off the tip of his finger. The king became more agitated over his 

latest perceived tragedy. The minister calmly cut a piece of cloth from his 

clothing to dress the wound. The king loudly insisted, "What do you have to 

say now, minister? Things have gotten progressively worse since we became 

lost and now this has happened! What do you have to say now? What do you 

have to say? " The minister looked deeply into the kings eyes and simply 

repeated his previous counsel, "Remember king, what ever happen, no matter 

what, things always work out for the good!"

The ministers remarks infuriated the king; he completely lost his composure 

and ordered the minister to leave his presence immediately. The minister 

calmly did as his king commanded and walked away into the forest. 

The king sat under the tree bemoaning his fate and a few minutes later his 

apparent direcircumstances became even worse. In those ancient times, 

the worshipers of Kali offered an annual human sacrifice to her and that 

time of year had come. When they came upon the king, lost in the forest 

and he proclaimed his lofty position, they were elated, believing that 

Kali would be especially pleased with their fine offering. 

They returned to their temple with the king and began to prepare him for the

sacrifice. However, when they began to undress him and discover the band aid

finger and saw  the missing finger tip, they were very upset. The sacrifice to 

Kali had to be a perfect human specimen and the absence of kings fingertip 

made their potential sacrifice unworthy. They immediately threw the king out

of their temple and went in search of a more suitable sacrifice. 

As the relieved king began to wander through the forest he remembered his 

bellowed minister and deeply regretted his last interaction with him. 

In that moment of repentance, he admitted that that his minister had been 

right in saying that everything always works out for the good; He realized 

that if his finger tip had not been cut off, he would by then have been 

sacrificed to the fire of Kali. Just then, he saw his minister walking towards 

him with the remainder of the hunting party. The king ran forward, threw 

him at the ministers feet and begged his forgiveness for banishing him into 

the forest. Still on hiss knees, he related all that had happened to him.

The minister calmly asked the king to get to his feet and said, "King, don't 

you realise that if you had not banished me, the Kali worshipers, upon 

discovering your missing finger tip, would have taken me for their human 

sacrifice and I would now be no more? Remember king, no matter what 

happens, it always work out for the good."
