“We all are foreigners.
We all have to go back to our motherland.”
Implied Meaning:
'At Vishakhapatnam (a city in India) in 1994,
about thirty spiritual seekers from outside India had come to visit Baba (His
Holiness Bhaktaraj Maharaj, who was fondly called ‘Baba’). Addressing
them, Baba said, “We all are foreigners.” Just this sentence from
Baba erased the feeling in them that they were foreigners and developed a feeling
of closeness among them.
Explaining further, Baba said, “While parachuting
from a plane, some land here and some there. Yet, they have come from the same
aeroplane. Similarly, some are born in UK, some in USA and some in India. However,
we all have arrived on this earth from one place only. Hence, we all are foreigners
on this earth.”
This teaching implies that despite coming from different backgrounds and systems
of belief, we all come from One God.
