One day Swami called a poor Muslim family in for an interview, and along
with another person who was a Hindu. A boy in the family was distraught because
his two best friends had gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and his parents
couldn’t afford to send him along and so they’d brought him to see Swami .
Baba started the interview by saying to the boy, “So, you want to go to
Mecca.” The boy burst into tears, and Baba then turned and spoke to the others
for a while. The boy continued crying, and finally Baba turned to him and
said, “You really want to go to Mecca, don’t you!” Baba then tapped the wall
of the interview room with His hand, and the wall disappeared - and in its
place, a street scene from Saudi Arabia appeared! “Look, there are your two
friends. Now go! You have half an hour.” The boy walked into the street
scene... and the wall reappeared.
Baba spoke with the stunned family for another half an hour, and then
tapped the wall again. The street scene reappeared - and the boy walked back
into the interview room, proudly carrying some souvenirs from Mecca!
A month later, when his friends returned home, the boy’s parents asked
them, “How long was he with you?” Confirming the boy’s account, his friends
replied, “Two weeks.” So that half an hour time was converted into 2 weeks by
Baba! Oh God! Oh Baba! Who else can you be other than God Himself!
Swami is a Master of time and space - as well as being That which is
beyond time and space.
Om Sai Ram
