Baba's Reminiscences of former births: Goats

Once Baba noted two out of a flock of goats near the Lendi garden and

bought them for Rs.32. Shania and Tatya considered that Baba was duped

in the bargain, as the highest price for them would be Rs.8. He spent

some more money in purchasing 4 seers of dhal (lentils) and fed the

goats and then sent them away to the owner of the flock.

Baba : Shama, Tatya, you think I have been duped? No. Listen to the

history of these goats. In their former births these goats were human

and my neighbours. They loved each other at first and they loved me.

Later they became enemies, fought with each other and killed each other.

They have now been born as these goats. As they passed by me, they

looked at me and I at once remembered their past history, my love for

them was renewed and I spent all this money to have them near me once

again and to feed them sumptuously. As you do not like my bargain, I

sent them back to the shepherd.
