HE OPENED THE FLOODGATES OF HIS LOVE

Bili Eaton

 
One day, Baba sent many of us out of the room where He was receiving new visitors, but I hid behind some shrubbery where there was just a little space through which I could look at Him between the leaves.

As Baba greeted each visitor, it was as though He opened the floodgates of His love. Watching in my hideaway, I received some of the residue and was quickly becoming intoxicated. I was there about twenty minutes when suddenly Baba spied me. His eyes focused on the small space between the leaves and caught me peeking at Him.

His eyebrows shot up and, with a broad smile, He pointed His finger at me, wagging His head from side to side as Eruch hauled me out. I was sure I would be sent away, but Baba let me stay a little longer with Him.

I can readily understand why Baba would put distance between us and Him after we had been with Him awhile: I don't think our physical beings would have been able to stand the strain and the power that emanated from Him along with His overwhelming love. Only those who like professional athletes, have been through the rigorous training of life and work with Him, could possibly stand it.
