Q & A: ARE YOU IN BABA'S FOLD

Question: You said that Baba selects his devotees. What about the ones who are not selected? Do they have to accept it as their bad karma?


Answer: If a devotee feels that it is their bad karma that they were not selected by Baba, it means that they have indeed been selected by Baba as his own! Otherwise, why would the devotee feel despondent that Baba has not chosen them?


Question: If the selected ones are considered the fortunate ones, what about those who are not selected?


Answer: The person selected would feel that they are indeed fortunate. The one who is not selected by Baba to be a devotee would not even bother about this non-selection.


Question: Why does Baba select only a few devotees?


Answer: Baba selects his devotees as per the connection he has with them over many lives. Baba stated, "Allah has handed over some living beings to me. I have to look after them." The phrase, "handed over to me," means the bond we have with Baba over these many lifetimes.
