DIVINE GRACE - Baba's Advice to Abdul

DIVINE GRACE – BABA'S ADVICE TO ABDUL AND PROPHECIES

 

Abdul was noble example of complete and perfect devotion and active

service with fullest faith, that is Nishta in the Guru. He had both

Nishta and Saburi and Baba on occasions, told him, `Arre, what are

you going to have? You are going to live in storeyed houses and

terraced houses. You will have a glorious time.' Abdul lived for some

time in Buty's wada upstairs and he commanded the respect of a very

wide circle of Hindus and Muslims.

 

Baba sometimes used to give blessings concealing them under abuse and

violence. Baba beat Abdul and Jog many times. Baba said to Abdul

Tereku, Dhariaku, Par uttar Dhea, tera Matti Sona Banadiya Kyabadi

Madi Bandhya. This means, `I have enabled you to cross the oceans.

Your earth, that is mud body, has been turned into gold. What a high

storeyed building?' Like this Abdul had various blessings and

prophecies, and Baba sat with Abdul at the chavadi in the morning

before he started for the Mosque. Abdul's statement about Avatars,

his book shows, has reference to all the Dasa Avatars, and there is a

hint that Baba treated himself as one of the avatars. Baba also

prophesied that the British Empire in India would have only nine

rulers in India. In 1947, evidently at the time of the ninth king,

India passed out of British jurisdiction.

 

Baba used to give Abdul excellent advice fitting him for a yogi's

life. Baba told him, `Eat very little. Do not go in for a variety of

eatables. One sort of dish will suffice. Do not sleep much.' Abdul

followed this advice. He kept awake all night, and in a kneeling

posture kept repeating his Koran, that is, Baba's words. He was

meditating on them. Baba said, `Have Dhyan on what is read and think

Who am I.' This might have been beyond the capacity of Abdul.
