PICTURE ON THE COVER PAGE

Once when Baba was sitting in Dwarkamai, a lizard on the wall was heard tick-ticking. A devotee, who was sitting near by, asked Baba whether it was a good omen or a bad one. Baba replied that the lizard was very happy because her sister from Aurangabad was to meet her very soon. In the meanwhile one man from Aurangabad came there and he put his bag there. Immediately a lizard jumped out and climbed on the wall and met her sister happily. Baba's omniscience is really wonderful !

Asceticism and Spiritual Life
WHAT is the place of asceticism in spiritual life ? There have been seekers of God who have, in their search, tortured their bodies. So Buddha tells us he did for six years, when he realised that extreme asceticism was an error. And when Gautama became the Buddha, the seer and saint of spiritual life, the teacher of wisdom, he gave his message to his disciples in significant words:-"Tune the sitar neither low nor high".
