THE SANSKARA
What is a sanskara? Where did the sanskara comes from? What came before the beginning of the first sankara?

from 1922
Once in 1929 Baba asked some of his men Mandali, "Have you ever examined what I defecate?" Some said yes, some said no. Baba continued, "You have no idea what my feces contain. In the beginning of creation, I defecated, and all the suns, moons, stars and universes came out. They are all my excrement. But just imagine, when this dirty thing is so beautiful, how can you ever imagine my real splendor? You will lose your senses if you ever see even a glimpse of it. |
