If You can’t quench my thirst…

This story happens in Meherabad, during the 1958 Sahavas.  There were around 2000 people at that gathering, and one day they were sitting before Baba and a singer was singing a qawali for Baba’s entertainment.  For some reason, he kept on repeating the line, “If You cannot quench my thirst, don’t call Yourself the limitless Ocean.”  Over and over he sang this same line, even though Baba gestured to him several times to move on.  Ignoring Baba, he kept repeating, “If You can’t quench my thirst, don’t call Yourself the limitless Ocean.”  

It being around tea time, just then the tea boy brought the tea around.  Baba gestured to him to come on the stage.  As the singer was going on one more time, “If You…”  Baba looks at the singer then gestures to the tea-walla without missing a beat, “Give this man two cups, he is very thirsty!”  Even the singer had to stop and laugh out loud!!!  Funny, funny God!
