Then, when we finished giving the notes; He said: “Put it in your pocket!” Mind you, it’s His money not my money – so I put it in my pocket. Then we came to the Police Chief’s house again and stopped.
Now, perhaps you have noticed that the protocol with Swami in the car is that when the car starts, you get in first – the guests gets in first – Swami gets in last. But when we come to the destination this reverses. Swami gets out first because the people want to see Swami and not the passengers! Later, when Swami is well clear out of the car, the passenger gets out.
So Swami got out of the car. He was in the back seat as He always was and I was in the front seat with the driver as I always was. So He gets out of the back seat and walks and there is a whole bunch of people lined up in front of the house of the police man. And Swami walks off with them. Then I see Him giving the servants fistfuls of money! We thought: “He’s giving money! He doesn’t have any money! How is He giving money?”
So I reached into my pocket – no money! He never came within ten feet of me; I never came out of the car; yet in my pocket there was no money; He handed it to give to the servant. Every time I think of that; it amuses me!
The Divine and His Deities :
Today, it is Ganesha’s birthday. Do these deities really exist? First of all, according to Swami, there’s life in every place – every level of existence is just chock-a-block with life! Every level – the entire Cosmos is filled with life; filled with beings! And one time the philosophers asked Swami if these Mahatmas; these Gurus; these Masters were real. And He said: “Yes! They are just as real as you are – they are no more real!” Now what did He mean by that? They are real – as real as you are – that is they actually exist; the same as these bodies exist here!
Now, I wonder how many of you know Mr. Zakir Hussein - the ex-governor of Goa , a small state in India. There is the Zakir Hussein Palace in Goa, where Swami had this horrible appendicitis when all the doctors from all over India had come and Swami had said: “I am going to go down in a couple of hours and talk!” And the doctors said: “Swami we are the best doctors from all of India and we are sorry to tell you that in a half an hour You are going to be dead!” But of course, Swami did exactly what He had said – He got off the bed, walked downstairs and gave a talk!
