SADGATI TO A TIGER
Baba told Mrs Tarkhad who fed the hungry dog " The dog which you saw before meals and to which you gave a piece of bread is one with Me so also others creatures cats, pigs, files, cows etc., are one with Me. He who sees Me in these creatures is My beloved" .Baba further declared that "All the insects, ants, the visible movable and immovable world is My body or form".
We can observe from the tiger's incident that Baba's above words are true in letter and spirit. Sri.Jyotindra's eye witness account is given below:
One day an ailing Tiger was brought to Dwarakamai seven days prior to Baba's Maha Samadhi. The Darveshis heard from the villagers that Baba was powerful and could cure Tiger's ailment. The Tiger duly chained was brought in a cart to Dwarakamai. Baba permitted them to bring it inside Dwarakamai close to the steps of platform where Baba would be sitting. The Tiger on seeing Baba bent down his head and growled in a very loud voice and fell flat motionless on the ground(dead).The darveshis sought Baba's guidance reagrding the disposal of the dead body. Baba advised them to bury outside Siva's Mandir near statue of Nandi. The tiger's funeral ceremony was attended by all villagers. This is the story.
The purpose of this article is to know what Baba explained to Jyotindra. On enquiry from Jyotindra as to what transpired between the tiger and Him, Baba told "Hay Bhau! the tiger was in deep agony and was requesting me to relieve him out of miserable condition, Hence I prayed to the Lord to grant him salvation. The tiger is free forever from the cycle of births and deaths and rebirth".
Here we have to understand what is stated in para 1 above is correct. He knows the language of animals and insects not only human beings. Though He Himself is God, He prayed to the Lord for the Moksha of the tiger, What a Humility!!
