Wandering Babaji

[DeviChaaya]

Namaste!

An interesting thing happened to me today. I had just returned to my car and was getting ready to drive to the train station when a gentleman in a turban knocked on the windows. I look up and he smiles down at me.

What follows is half an hour of talking; he tell I have a fiery tongue; my tongue is where my money is, he says. There were other things but I'll keep quiet about them.

It was all very surreal. Whoever thought I'd meet a wandering baba here in Melbourne, Australia, just wandering around the parking lot of the pharmacy! I certainly didn't.

 

[Vinayaka]

That sounds like fun, Devi.

 

[DeviChaaya]

That sounds like fun, Devi.

It was certainly very interesting and unexpected! I suppose it really is true when they say Shiva likes to work in mysterious ways.

 

[George-ananda]

Did he give a normal explanation for why he was knocking on your window?

 

[Aupmanyav]

I do not think I like that. Could be dangerous for other people, could be dangerous for the Baba himself. These things are better done in India.

 

[DeviChaaya]

Did he give a normal explanation for why he was knocking on your window?

He said he felt drawn to me and referred to his 3rd eye. He was sweet and it was very beautiful.

 

[George-ananda]

Very unusual and fascinating.

Many scamsters are like that. Not anything that I like.

 

[DeviChaaya]

While I do not doubt you are right, @Aupmanyav ji, there was a certain aura around him that belied a certain truth. And if I gave him $20 because I thought it was for a good thing than it is the thought behind the action that counts and not the action itself.

 

[Aupmanyav]

You did. That will surely be credited to your merits account. But again, not something which I like. Not something that most Australians will like. He may get into trouble with other people. If he was able-bodied, I am sure there are so many other things that he can do in Australia.

He was not forceful with his questions. It was simply a question he asked that I could have declined. It was a lovely conversation.

Wow ! Didn't knew that even the Sadhu Baba's were also migrating to Australia !

A friend of mine once went to Osho's ashram in Pune. However he was not able to afford the high fee charges to enter the place.

After thinking for some time, he hit upon a plan. He put a cloth on the ground and started referring to himself as a palmist.

He did have some knowledge of palmistry and working knowledge of english. He went through the palms of a few foreign tourists over there till he got enough money to enter the ashram.

Perhaps the sadhu in Australia was also in need of some money himself.

Was he being complementary by saying you have a fiery tongue. What an observation at first glance.
