"Baba said "Rama (the God of the Hindus) and Rahim (the God of the Mohammedans) were one and the same; there was not the slightest difference between them; why should their devotees fall out and quarrel among themselves? You ignorant folk, children, join hands and bring both the communities together, act sanely and thus you will gain your object of national unity".

Answer :

The true service is to improve our qualities and be of some use for His cause, i.e. to serve humanity around you. Baba did reveal to some people that His consciousness covered even dogs, horses, etc.

This happened in the North eastern United States. During the peak of winter I once had to travel around 5 in the morning to reach a client's office in time for our morning meeting. The Boston commuter rail took me to the nearest railway station which was around 15 miles from the office I wanted to go to. It was 6:20 in the morning - it was a harsh winter, and a strong wind was blowing. There was not a soul to be seen and there were no sidewalks for me to walk on. My ears and nose were hurting, I was wet, and despite many layers of clothing, I was shivering with cold. Because of the snow, I wasn't able to walk to any shelter as well.

Throughout this period I kept on praying to Baba. I had full faith in him and was sure that he would help me out. I kept on standing there for a long while before, with the help of some passers-by, I managed to call a local cab service who said it would take them 30 minutes to send a cab. 

After a long wait, a couple of minutes before the time they had mentioned, a cab came over and asked me to get in quickly. I was numb with cold and kept on praying to Baba throughout the journey. I also told myself that if the taxi fare was $50, I would give the person a $5 tip.

A mile before I reached my destination, I got a call on my cell phone from the cab company informing me that my cab has been waiting for me at the train station. I was extremely surprised to hear that! When I looked at my driver's face in the mirror, he had very kind eyes, had a white beard and was covering his head with a cap which was also white in colour. I was struck by the resemblance that this man had with Baba. I soon reached my destination and wonder of wonders - the taxi fare was exactly 50 dollars!!!

I gave 55 dollars to the person and asked for a receipt - he handed me a piece of paper and drove off. As soon as the cab left, a strong gust of wind came by and swept the piece of paper from my hand and despite my running after it, I could never find it.

Who was this driver? How did he reach me? How come he resembled Baba so closely? Why did the fare come to exactly what I had wished? How did the receipt "develop wings" and fly away?

I am absolutely certain that it was all Baba's leela. I surrender myself at Baba's feet! Nothing in this Universe can move without his wish.
