HAZRAT  BABAJAN'S  SUFFERING

 

 

1 June, 1927

 

 

While explaining to him about saints and in particular Hazrat Babajan, the Master related:

 

Babajan lost two of her fingers by allowing them to be eaten away by maggots. So many insects were in her wounds that they would fall out. She would pick them up and put them back in the wound without in the least minding the horrible pain. Instead of taking treatment for her fingers, she was feeding the maggots! Babajan deliberately suffered unimaginable agony, and in the end lost both fingers.

At the present, I, too, have a blister inside my mouth that pains me severely, but I don't mind it. I don't pay any attention to it. Saints are always happy, even while in agony.
