BABA AND BLACK MAGIC

[Guest guest]

Theosophical Lady: (thinks whether Baba's extraordinary powers are cases

of black magic).

[baba's powers were not acquired one after another by dint of repeating

mantras and going through rites intended for such acquisition. His

powers were part of his nature, as developed by the Guru's grace, after

a course of prolonged and intense love and devotion to the Guru-God.

Srimad Bhagavata, V(5) 35, where the saint Rishaba in proceeding with

his blissful God realization, i.e., realization of Vasudeva, as God

external to himself and as his self, developed, siddhis such as (1)

Duragrahana - seeing things happening at any distance, (2) Antardhana -

sudden appearance and disappearances, 352, 532 (3) Manojava - quick

flash of thoughts, achieving all feats of intellect or reason-intuition

intensified, 406 (4) Parakayapravesa - entering other bodies living or

dead, 321 (5) Vaihayasa - travelling with a physical body through air,

despite obstructions like walls etc.,]

Baba: Black! This is a Brahmin, a pure Brahmin, a white Brahmin. He will

lead thousands on to the Subbra Marga, i.e., white or pure path (to

God). No (Black) Kala Yavana can put his foot here
