Miracle
One day Baba was preaching a king on how one can live even after his/her death and advocated, person who hardened the body by subjecting to intense religious zeal attains unity with Almighty and the body won’t decay and will be alive until the Day of Judgement.
To bring clarity, Baba quoted an example:
- Two pots made of clay, one just dried in sun and the other burnt in a furnace, buried after digging two separate pits in the mud. After few days, when both the pits opened, the burnt pot has well intact its form and shape whereas the pot that was dried but not burnt, has lost its form and turned into clay.
Likewise, when a human burns himself by truthfully following Allah and his Prophets preaching’s he/she shall be alive even in the grave and the body won’t get touched by mud or any insects.
As the king was still doubtful, Baba stated that the king could check for himself, by opening Baba’s grave, for the body being untouched by the mud even after 40 years of Baba leaving the world. The king replied that he is already old and may die even before forty years. Baba smiled and offered his 40 years of life to the king to verify after 40 years by opening the burial. He also said if he couldn’t wait for 40 years, he could open after 40 days of his burial.
Baba died after few days. Forty days later the king and others dug up his body and observed that it was fresh with a smile on its face.
The king was convinced. However, to substantiate, after forty years they did it again and found that the Baba's body was still fresh and full of flowers.
As commanded by Baba, three flowers were taken which were on His chest.

Famous quotes containing the word miracle:
“This was your place of birth, this daytime palace,
This miracle of glass....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Fame sometimes hath created something out of nothing. She hath made whole countries more than nature ever did, especially near the poles, and then hath peopled them likewise with inhabitants of her own invention, pigmies, giants, and amazons: yea, fame is sometimes like unto a mushroom, which Pliny recounts to be the greatest miracle in nature, because growing and having no root, as fame no ground of her reports.”
—Thomas Fuller (16081661)
“How exquisitely minute,
A miracle of design!”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
