Sugar Candy




Once a few devotees wee sitting with Baba at the foot of a mountain and Baba held a few pebbles in His hand and threw them towards a devotee, converting these into sugar candy.  At this the devotee enquired from Baba that if He could instantly convert those stones into sugar candy, could He not transform the entire mountain in front of them into sugar candy?  Baba replied, "It can be done, but why unnecessarily interfere with its nature?"

In fact, no material or movement is necessary to materialise anything for Him.  His Will (Sankalpa) is supreme.  

On one occasion, Baba was talking on spiritual matters to a devotee, and all of a sudden the devotee found on his lap a red apple.  The devotee was astonished and Baba told him, "Didn't you say, earlier on, that you did not have any breakfast?  Eat it now, for you will be having your lunch only after a couple of hours."  This was accomplished without any transformation of any material or without any wave of the hand.

"Get detached from the transitory pleasure; boldly attach yourself with the One, peerless and perennial, remaining in a serene state of Blissful Awareness." says Baba.


(Sathyam Sivam Sundaram - Pt.III)
