The Worst Scenario

One day in the early forties, Baba called all of us and asked us “What will happen to this world? I’ll give you five minutes to narrate the worst scenario.”

“Each of us described the horror that the world would experience. After listening to all of us, he said,

“This is not even one percent of what will happen. The entire world will cry out. Food will not be available, and people will eat the cloth off their backs.

“‘I will give those who are mine a small amount to eat, but what will happen to the rest?”

On another day, Baba told us, “I will close all the doors very slowly. Only then will suffocated humanity become conscious of fresh air.”
