Baba’s words were always short, pithy, deep, full of meaning, efficient and well- balanced. He was ever content and never cared for anything.
He said, “Though I have become a Fakir, have no house or wife, and though leaving off all cares, I have stayed at one place, the inevitable Maya teases Me often.
Though I forgot Myself I cannot forget Her. She always envelops Me.This Maya (illusive power) of the Lord (Shri Hari) teases God Brahma and others; then what to speak of a poor Fakir like Me?
Those who take refuge in the Lord wil be freed from Her clutches with his grace”.
In such terms Baba spoke about the power of Maya.
