Bal Natu

Bal Natu shares a humorous poem about his experiences with Baba, expressing his desire to be known as “Baba’s fool.” He recounts a dream-like experience where a crow, a bulbul, and a dog lead him to Baba, who tells him his work is done and his name is enrolled for the mass. The poem concludes with Bal feeling a change in his inner life despite the outward appearance of normalcy.

A puppy named Ramu, meaning “playing” in vernacular, was brought to Meherazad and became a favorite of Baba’s. Despite being in seclusion, Baba allowed Ramu into His room and even had Eruch fetch special items for him from Poona. The story of Ramu’s arrival is likened to the experience of coming to Baba, where one feels His presence and belonging.

A pilgrim asks Bal Natu about the spiritual planes of consciousness of Baba’s mandali. Bal shares a story about his own curiosity regarding the planes, particularly about Gustadji, who was rumored to be on the sixth plane. Gustadji humorously reveals to Bal that such concepts are irrelevant when one is with Baba, emphasizing the importance of love and connection over spiritual hierarchy.
