Baba

== BABA STORY: MUKAM' KAROTI VA'CA'LAM ==

Namaskar,
As we all know Baba has blessed the humanity in countless ways. The below story is just one of many wherein Baba has showered His grace and made the impossible a reality - transforming a seemingly unsolvable problem into a joyous solution.

BABA EN ROUTE TO DMC

One time during the 1960's, Baba was waiting in the Buxar railways station to catch the train to Lucknow (UP) to hold DMC; i.e. Dharma Maha Cakra.

That morning, Baba completed His breakfast and was sitting in the waiting room in the Buxar railway station. PA was there, as well as some local margiis.

A SMALL BOY APPROACHES

While Baba was seated there, a small boy of 5 or 6 years of age approached Baba.

Baba noticed him and said, "What is your name?".

There was no reply from the young boy, so Baba repeated His question.

The boy's parents - who were not margiis - were nearby, watching closely, and they said, "Our boy does not speak at all. Up till now in his life, he has not uttered even one word."

Then Baba replied, "Oh, your boy does not speak at all, really, I think he does speak."

The parents did not say anything - they just shook their heads and watched.

BABA SHOWERS HIS BLESSING

Then Baba graciously leaned forward and gently touched the young boy's throat, directly at the vishuddha cakra.

Then Baba asked the boy again, "What is your name?"

Upon hearing the question, to everyone's utter amazement, the little boy responded.

It was the first time in his entire life that he had spoken. No one had ever heard him speak before.

Everyone present was astonished and in a state of utter disbelief and awe of what had just transpired. The boy's parents were shedding tears of joy. They could not believe that their young son, who had been unable to speak a single word, was now speaking.

The margiis present were also amazed by the scene.

IGNITED A NEW BHAJAN

It was then and there that margiis began singing the bhajan: "With God's grace even the dumb start speaking."

Here is that song in Hindi, "Andha' dekhe gu'nga' bole..."

The overall meaning of the song is: Parama Purusa can shower His causeless grace and grant sight to the blind and speech to the dumb; Parama Purusa is grace Personified, there is nothing that He cannot do. He can do everything - making the impossible a reality.

BABA LOVES ALL

That stands as one glorious moment wherein Baba blessed one boy and granted him the ability to speak.

Some may say it was a miracle - some may not. As A'nanda Ma'rgiis, we do not think of miracles, all we know is that with His infinite and magnificent love, Baba can do anything.

This also shows that Baba is gracious upon margiis and non-margiis alike. All are His children and He watches for the welfare and prosperity of everyone.

Baba says, "All the microcosms are part and parcel of Parama Purus'a: all are His progeny, His dear children...He cannot want His sons and daughters to undergo pains and troubles; rather He wants them progress physically, mentally, and spiritually." (Subhasita Samgraha - 11)

BABA'S BLESSING

Beloved Baba can do anything and everything, including make the dumb speak, as in the case of the young boy in this story.

Baba says, "It is said, “Mu'kam' karoti va'ca'lam' paungam' launghayate girim.” With the help of mundane objects, a dumb person will never become fully eloquent, and a lame person will never be able to climb a mountain. However, with the grace of Parama Purus'a, the dumb will speak and the lame will scale mountains. If one asks Parama Purus'a for strength one may get or may not get some. But one should not make any such demands. One should not ask, “Oh Parama Purus'a, please give me this and that.” By ideating on Him one may get everything. What is important is His grace which may come whether you ask for it or not. His grace is all important, and that is why it is said, “Mukam' karoti va'ca'lam' paungam' launghayate girim.” (Ananda Vacanamrtam - 7, He Makes the Dumb Speak)

Namaskar,
Manoj

Note 1: BABA'S DIVINE VIBRATION

Baba says, "Utilizing the vibrations created for eternal time by Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji through januspharsha and varabhaya mudras, take yourself and the entire universe ahead along the path of welfare. Omn Shanti!" (Caryacarya - 1, 'Concluding Words')
