Namami Kalyanasundaram
	excerpts

The mother sitting nearby said through tears, “Babuji, this boy is dumb from birth.  He is not able to speak.”  Baba said, “No, no!  This cannot be!  Such a capable, beautiful child, and dumb!  How can this be!  He will surely speak.” Baba touched his vishuddha cakra gently cajoling him: “Speak!  Speak!  You are not dumb!  You can speak!” Surprise of surprises. . . .  ( Baba’s Love for Children)

 They were completely taken aback when Baba opened the door of the car and alighted.  He began walking towards the rhinoceros.  The horror-struck Margiis saw that the secretary also got out of the car and followed Baba.  The dazed Margiis also got out and fell behind Baba.  They thought that in the event of a disaster Baba would protect them.  Baba went up close to the cow and began stroking her back.  Everyone was dumbstruck at the sight.  In front of Baba this fierce animal became as docile as a deer.  Not one sound did it make.  Baba then stroked its little calf.  The mother stood as still as a stone image.  Everyone regretted his earlier terror.  After that Baba whispered something in the ear of the rhino, in a strange language. . . .  (The Rhinoceros’ Tears)

 In reality, He had a compulsive, almost helpless, habit of stealing.  Without the knowledge of those seeking His grace, He would steal their personal possessions.  We would take our purses full of samskaras to Him.  Like a skilled thief’s sleight of hand, He would pick our pockets, without our being aware of it, carrying away all our samskaras.  It is only now that we fully comprehend all the scheming cunning ways of this determined, deceitful thief.  Oh such excuses!  And so many!  Sometimes it was the monthly R.D.S., at other times the tri-monthly reporting.  Sometimes it was the Bhukti Pradhana meetings, sometimes the Upabhukti Pramukh meetings, . . . .  (Baba the Samskara thief)
