Sadhus and Haribhaktas make many varieties of food for Swami Bapa.
Bapa first offers everything to God.
He always offers the thaal to Harikrishna Maharaj.
Once in Japan someone had made shiro.
But instead of sugar he had mistakenly put salt in it!
It was like salt in pudding!
Would you eat ice cream if there was salt in it?
The shiro with salt tasted like that! Yuck!
When Swami Bapa sat downfor lunch.
He was served rotli, shaak... and that salty shiro also!
Nobody knew until a sadhu ate the shiro afterwards.
He said right away.
“My God, there is salt in this shiro!” But then he thought...
Bapa did not get mad. Bapa did not complain.
Bapa did not grumble. Bapa did not make a face.
Bapa did not bang his bowl.
The sadhus then asked Bapa why he did not complain.
Swami Bapa replied, “We take whatever food is offered to Thakorji.
Sometimes somebody may make a mistake while cooking.
So why complain about it?”
Swami Bapa is never choosy about food.
He never finds fault with the food served to him.
Whatever is in the thaal - he accepts it.
For Bapa the best food is Thakorji’s thaal.
