DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

THE  FAKIR

Late April, 1928

 Baba had walked down the hill during the night and then returned. The fakir was proved correct. He was given breakfast and left happily.

Baba later explained to the mandali the events of the previous day:

The three groups that came yesterday reaped the benefits according to their capacities. Those who came to sightsee carried back, unbeknown to them, the benefits of this sacred atmosphere. The Hindu couple who came with devotion and stayed to listen to stories about me gained more spiritual benefit.

They reaped the fruit of their faith and devotion, though they are unaware of it.

But the one who was the most fortunate was the fakir. Due to his firm determination and intense devotion, I had to disturb my seclusion and come down the hill. There has to be such true faith and longing to have the darshan of God — to move Him and bring Him down from the mountain!
