" JEWELS FROM AFAR " Experience of Diana Baskin.

 

(From the book " Baba is God in Human Form.)

 

Diana Baskin and her story. One evening in Brindavan, we were all

gathered at Swami's feet, listening with rapt attention as He told

us a fascinating story of artisan's love for Lord Krishna. He

described a magnificent gold statue that the artisan had made of his

beloved Lord . He said the statue had been designed by divine

inspiration. Lord Krishna, Himself had guided every movement of

artist's hand during its creation. Suddenly, Swami asked us: " Would

you like to see it? " Oh, yes! " we eagerly answered in unison. Swami

waved His hand and in it appear a resplendent gold statue. Many

brilliant precious gems adorned Krishna's head and body. The

graceful figure sparkled and glowed as though alive. The precious

statue was then passed around and each person was able to hold and

admire it. When it returned to Swami, He held in it in His hand a

moment. Then it disappread. Swami then told us a story about treaty

which India had made with another country. He explained

that the entire treaty had been carved on a huge emerald that was

presently being kept in the same museum as the Krishna statue. " I

will get it for you, " He said. When he stopped waving His hand,

there appear in His palm a very large emerald. We were all

breathless! What an extraordinary, magical evening this was.!. We

passed the emerald among ourselves slowly, not wanting these rare

moments to end. " Pass it quickly, " Swami gently prodded us, " I have

to return to it the museum before the guard realize it is gone. Jai
