The Lighting of Aarti Wicks


On one occasion some women devotees came to Bhumiadhar to worship Baba but did not see him in the ashram. Baba was sitting on a roadside parapet a little distance from them. They waited for some time and then decided to go and worship him by the road. As they went towards him, Baba waved his hand, signaling them to wait. Gurudatt Sharma, who was with Baba, requested him to allow the women to do their puja. Baba gave his consent, and after the ritual worship they got ready to do aarti. As they were about to light the wicks of the lamps, they realized that they had forgotten to bring a box of matches. Baba teased them, took the ghee-soaked wicks from the plate in his hand, and saying "Ma, Ma," moved his hand around; all the wicks immediately lit up. The women then performed aarti to him and went away happy.
