UBIQUITY OF BABA

Para Number in the Book-BCS & His Universalities

66. I am formless and everywhere.
    I am in everything.
    I am in everything and beyond.
    I fill all space. All that you see taken together is Myself. I do not shake or move.
67. All that is seen is my form; ant, fly, prince, pauper.
68. I am in the water, in dry places, in woods, amidst crowds, and in the solitary wilderness. I am in the fire and in ether. I am not limited to any place.
69. Feeding the hungry bitch is feeding me. I have the feeling of my hunger being satisfied, when hers is satisfied.
    Baba to Laxmi Bai Sciedhe: I am hungry.
    Laxmi Bai Scindhe; Shall I go and bring food?
    Baba; Do.
    Laxmi Bai Scindhe; Then brought food; Baba took nothing from it and placed the entire plate before a hungry bitch.
    Laxmi Bai Scindhe: Baba why do you do so?
    Baba: Is not the bitch also a Jiva? We talk, bitches do not. She is hungry; she and I are one and the same. It is the same if I eat or she eats.
70. I am still belching with the heavy feeding you gave the dog this morning. I am also in the mire besmirched pig (that you did not feed, though it came to you).
    To serve me, give up differentiation, (to Bombay Lady)
71. Sometimes I come as dog, sometimes as pig.
    The devotee who recognises me in each form and treats me adequately is blessed.
72. You have been with me eighteen years Nana. Does “Sai” mean to you only this 3’/2 cubits height of body?
    I am in the ant and fly.
    Whenever you see this sign, remember that I am there and that I can eat food through ants, flies etc.
    72-A. Baba: This body is but my house. My guru Mourshad has long ago taken me away from this.
73. I went as a cat to drink this man’s Hansraj’s curds to save him, despite his cussedness. But he beat me to day.
    I was the black dog.
    I was the sickly sudra. I am in everything, and beyond.
    I was the fakir who begged of you, at Bombay.
    I was the spirit, you saw at midnight under the tree.
    [I am Akkalkote Maharaj.] I gave you Rs. 2, Pitale(Devotee)
    73-A. Baba as a cat is beaten.
    Baba to Hansraj, an Asthma patient: Do not take curds or taste sour things. But Hansraj was daily preparing curds overnight to drink it, at the noon meal. Daily a cat drank it off and one day he beat the cat.
    Baba to others, in the presence of Hansraj: “There is an Urphatia. a cussed, cross-grained man. I told him not to take curds. But he daily prepared it. Daily I went as a cat and drank it off, to save his life. Today 1 went again. Do you know what he did? He beat me over the shoulder. See here. (Hansraj looked and found a fresh weal on Baba’s shoulder, though it was a cat, he beat with a stick on the shoulder) cf. 359.
    73-B. Baba as a dog and sickly Sudra:
    Kasinath Govind Upasani-KGU Maharaj, who lived at Shirdi in 1911-4, prepared his food which a black dog was watching. Offering nothing to the dog, K.G.U. went to the masjid and offered it to Baba.
    Baba: Why did you bring it here? I was there.
    K.G.U.: Baba, there was none there, except a black dog.
    Baba : I was that black dog.
    Baba refused to accept food that day.
    Next day K.G.U. prepared his meal at his quarters and found no dog there. But a sickly Sudra(Lower caste) was standing, leaning on a wall and looking at the food. The orthodox K.G.U. drove him away from that place and brought the food to S.Baba.
    Baba : Yesterday you did not offer me food. Today also you drove me away. Why bring the food here?
    K.G.U.: Where were you there, Baba?
    Baba.: I was leaning on the wall.
    K.G.U.: What! Could you be in such a person?
    Baba: Yes I am in all things and beyond.
