DIVINE LEELAS OF NEEB KARORI BABA
Meeting Baba
Hukum Chand had been a resident of Sindh (Pakistan), but after the partition of India in 1947, he left Pakistan and set up his business in Madras. He often visited the Vaishnavi Devi temple and met a sage there. When Baba took his devotees to have Vaishnavi Devi's darshan, he also graced the sage by his presence. After Baba left, Hukum Chand arrived at the temple. The sage told him about Baba and asked Hukum Chand to go and have his darshan. Hukum Chand went to the dharamshala but could not find Baba, so he left without meeting him. He went again the next day and was about to leave for the second time without meeting Baba when he met Ramesh, who Baba had sent to call him.
When Hukum Chand went into Baba's room, he saw a few women devotees massaging Baba's feet. Hukum Chand felt uncomfortable with what he saw and hesitated to go into the room. Nevertheless, when he looked into Baba's smiling face, his feelings became pure, and he remained standing with his hands folded in reverence. Baba asked him to come again the next morning. The next day Hukum Chand went to meet Baba and asked him, "Why is maya [illusion]? How can one disentangle oneself from maya?" Baba asked him, "What is this maya? Where is it?" and then he himself answered, "There is no maya." After this he said, "Who is the best eye doctor here?" Hukum suggested two names, Dr. Aggarwal and Dr. Abraham.
Baba asked, "Who is Abraham?"
"A Christian," was the reply.
"Abraham is good, Abraham is good. I will consult him," Baba said.
Baba then told Hukum Chand to come visit him again after two days. Hukum Chand tried to contact the doctor and found out that he had gone to Bangalore for a couple of days. He went back to Baba, who said that he would see the doctor on his return from Rameshwaram, where he and the devotees were about to go.
After Baba left, Hukum Chand went to Bombay and broke his glasses on the way. He got a new pair made in Bombay but was not comfortable with them and thought of getting a new pair from Dr. Abraham when he returned to Madras. Upon his return, he was about to go to the clinic when his son asked if he could go with him to get his eyes tested. His exams were near, and he was having trouble with his eyesight. They went together, and after getting his glasses changed, Hukum Chand felt relieved. After examining his son's eyes, the doctor advised an immediate operation, for there was a risk of losing his sight. Hukum Chand acted upon the doctor's advise and got the operation performed immediately. In this way Abraham relieved both father and son of their ailments. Hukum Chand later realized that Baba was not in need of a doctor for his own eyes. He had recommended Dr. Abraham to him for their benefit.
