Murphet had the Darshan of
Baba, saw miracles, was astonished at first, then wondered
about them, and finally realised that the Divinity of Bhagavan
was primary while miracles were merely a manifestation of
His Love. Murphet quickly caught on to the fact that Baba
is an Incarnation of the Lord, and that when the Lord comes
in human form, He is to be recognised not by superhuman phenomena
or aspects but by the Divine qualities of Pure Love, Compassion,
Selfless Sacrifice, and limitless Forbearance.
His prayers having
been answered and having seen the Incarnation with his own
eyes, Murphet spared no pains to share his ‘discovery’
with the rest of the world. He did this through many books
and of course also lectures, especially in his country. Result:
incredulous foreigners started flocking to the remote hamlet
of Puttaparthi in increasing numbers, to come face to face
with the Living God. Murphet himself made many trips India
to have Baba’s Darshan, and continued doing so even
after he passed the ripe old age of ninety. He it was who
‘introduced’ Baba ‘Down Under’, to
Australia.
