Question

A senior good hearted knowledgeable person serves people ,God, humanity and religion by sharing his spirituality with many.He does this for a long time.People call him "baba" which means father.Then a jealous person conspires against him and those who called him father /baba and to those whom he gave his love suddenlty turn against him because they choose to be beguiled by a jealous enemy of his.Others keep silent when he is slandered and abused forgetting that they owed something to him.And a few even criticise that honorable man forgetting all the love and service he offered to them.

Answer 1

Baba. it seems, remained pure throughout. he never turned against anyone-even it seems, those who slandered him.

The jealous conspirator, at first, seems the most evil. but, in all fairness, he never seems to have accepted Baba's help, or pretended to be his friend.

The first who turned against Baba seemed to be fascinated by the jealous one-they saw a forbidden fruit, and tried for greener pastures-even though they never had any reason to complain before.

Those who simply kept silent just thought they could follow Baba without any sacrifice-it wasn't needed when everyone went Baba;s way, was it? so, they tried to see how he would do-alone.

So, no one remembered the real source of good things. I'm sad to see this not only as a parable for the world, but for the
Christian church itself. Many leave the simple but true teaching of godly pastors, only to find themselves in a world of compromise, confusion, and sadness-if only they had not strayed from 'Baba'.

Great story!

Answer 2

Let's see... the people who heard lies about 'Baba' really ought to have asked him about it, since they knew him personally and the lies probably didn't match what they knew of him. Baba could have cleared everything up. Those who loved him would understand and those who didn't understand would go on with their lives. Everyone's happy.

Those who kept silent should have spoken, not out of obligation but because it was the right thing to do (remember, love never owes or is owed anything, if you do not understand this you do not understand what love is).

Umm just because someone offers you love and service does not mean they are above criticism in all matters. Need more detail to say more.

Gee, I wonder what this is supposed to be an analogy of. Let me think very, very hard... so familiar....

Answer 3

First of all, It's all god's leela, to make both understand what's the truth. I belive both are missing something or may be either of one too.So to make them understand god made this leela. Otherway we should be thank to the jealous person. Because of his behaviour, the more respect will grow towards baba more than that person which he has not realised it yet by earning bad name. Whoever is good, they get troubled allways. So it is to best to pray for baba.So god can give baba strength to baba. And why to bother about those who criticise?? God will take care of them, as it is happening every persons life and we can see that for proof. Then why to worry??

Aradhana,

I got this sometime back, from Chamunda, and i really felt bad.. I am not sitting silently... but again when i give second thought, we cannot do the cheap small minded things, what that person is doing..

In one post i saw, Chamunda told that he told bad about her daughter too, i felt bad..

but i guess as we all know now, we should avoid..and keep distance. bEcause we are not used to such cheap tricks.

and specially i see someone capable of maintaining 10 ids, than it is obvious that he has not many things to do in life, and he is a failure.. so does it make any sense copying a failure.

so just leave it, Everyone has a fate, and will regret when he or she meets his or hers fate. actually bad luck is said to be a time of realization ,when they start thinking what mistakes they did... Best punishment is to allow people doing bad, to do more bad.. so that they can realize faster..

But we need to be in our good ness, so that there will be no mistake form our side, for whcih WE have to regret later.. I really congratulate Aum, he is a gentle man.. and he very well knows the outcome and its nature.

don't bother too much.. drop it there..

Answer 5

One is a senior, good-hearted, knowledgeable person. One is a jealous person, and the others are spineless wimps. What point are you trying to make, though?
