If God can be in a rock... then why not in man?
A noted geologist who heads the Geology Department of a major University
was witness to one of Baba's materializations. Baba picked up a rough piece of
granite to ask the scientist what it contained. The geologist mentioned some
minerals. Baba insisted, "I don't mean those, but something deeper." He
continued, "Well molecules, atoms, electrons, protons..." Baba wasn't
satisfied, "No, no, no, go deeper still." The geologist professed his ignorance.
The Baba took the rock, blew on it, and gave it back to the geologist.
The geologist was flabbergasted, for the rock had been transformed into a
statue of Krishna playing the divine flute. Baba admonished him, "You see,
beyond your atoms and all, God was in the rock, God is sweetness and joy. Break
off Krishna's foot and taste it".
The geologist found no difficulty in breaking the statue and tasting the
foot. It was candy with a sweetness all its own. No wonder Howard Murphet one
of Baba's biographers, has said, "Science gives but the first word; the last
word is known only to the great spiritual scientists like Sai Baba."
