Eluding Illusion
Speaker: Henry Kashouty
Date: July 1988
Time: 50 Minutes
Location: Los Angeles Sahavas
The theme of this talk is about putting Baba first and the work
it takes to put Baba first in our lives. In Henry’s words,
“Our work is to try not to let a moment go by without remembering
Baba. Stories of people who put Baba first have their inner life
transformed. Baba is a mystery. So you get over the hump of ignoring
the distractions in life and focusing on Baba.”
The most touching part in this video is Henry’s story in
1958 when Baba came to Myrtle Beach and ignored Henry. Because of
Baba’s outward indifference to Henry, Henry had great pain
in his heart; but because Henry’s character was to resolve
his problems, Henry had the love and will to do the work and came
to the conclusion that if Baba did not want to see him, then this
is what Henry would also want. Once Henry surrendered to Baba’s
will, Henry was on “cloud 9”. At this point, Henry did
not care if Baba talked to him or sent him away because all Henry
wanted was what Baba wanted. This is a story worth telling and retelling
as an example of surrendering to Baba’s will.
