Chapter – 14
Once the entire villagers were afflicted with the small-pox, it created huge chaos among the people, they were
forced to leave the village and their properties behind, and people were
panicked and rushed to various directions with no hopes. Lokenathji was in his hermitage undertaking
meditation, he could realize the pathetic state of the people, and soon he
entered in a transcendental state.
Lokenathji arrived in the dense wood where he could see Matha
Sheethala who was angrily leaving the village. She was too unhappy with the evilness, selfishness, and inhuman deeds of the people. Lokenathji stood before her and putting a sudden halt to her movement, he requested her
‘You are the mother of the people in this Universe, how can you leave like this
while your children are in a wretched state.
Kindly go back to your children and take care of them.” Matha Sheethala was calmed by Lokenathji and
she returned to the village soon the peace was restored.
One day Babaji was giving
lectures on mortality, he explained to his devotees assembled “ The supreme
Lord assumed the form of Ram and Krishna, he lived like an ordinary human on
the Earth, he allowed himself to go through the pains, afflictions, miseries, and grief of the worldly existence. He
incarnated on the Earth to reinstate righteousness, none of the afflictions
could deviate them from their objective, they become an object of worship to the common
people, when their purpose of the incarnation was accomplished, they left the Earth
and returned to their supreme abode.” In
that huge crowd of devotees, Babaji announced his decision to leave his mortal
coil, it was extremely shocking news for his disciples, King, and the
devotees. Malini Ma said “ Babaji, you
are Mahapurusha, you can live in this world as long as you wish, why you want
to discard this body. Kindly do not
leave us.” Babaji said “Ma, This body is
perishable, Yogis have no death. I will not leave you all, where will I go, I
will be here always, and I am leaving this perishable body, that’s it.” After
saying so, he entered inside his hermitage, the people assembled were reciting sacred chants. Mahayogi Lokenath was 160 years old, it was on the 19th day of Jyeshta/ 3rd June,
1890, he was seated on Gomukh Yogasana posture, as usual, went to transcendental state and the eyes were wide open, it was around
11.30 in the afternoon Mahayogi left his mortal coil and attained union with
the Bramham.
