Not only Brahma Baba uplifted the spiritually fallen ones to new heights of spirituality but he applied them that alchemy which transmuted them so much that they became instruments of ShivBaba, the Holiest of the holy. He gave them the realization that forms the bedrock of wisdom, one small part of which is that: “Hatred breeds hatred and violence inevitably lead to ruin; anger is the arch-enemy of the soul; sex-lust is the lead of all evils; attachment is the bane of spirituality; pride does the worst harm to man. So, the real war is the war against these. The real conquest is in the battle against these enemies.”

The Sanjivini that he had
Brahma Baba had received from ShivBaba the secret about the Sanjivini- the mythical herb that can raise a dead person into life. So, those who came to seek spiritual knowledge under his tutelage, he raised them from their state of being fallen, dead spirits, into new, vigorous, divine beings. With the help of the Kalpa Tree, the World Wheel, and Trimurti- The three basic pictures he used to explain God’s knowledge.

He recycled the worst into the best
 Brahma Baba, in his corporeal form, was unique in many ways. By his own high character, not only did he mold the character of those who came in touch with him but his character molded a new civilization out of the present degenerated one. Though he did this great act, for which he is known as Brahma, the Master Creator, one did not feel from Baba’s face that it was, for him, a strenuous work. He didn’t even express the view that he was doing the impossible or that he had done something which was the highest a human being could do. Baba never took any credit for doing this great spiritual miracle- if it is called a miracle. Brahma Baba always said: It is Shiv Baba’s work. It is he who is doing it. I am only His long boot! I was only a rustic boy and it is ShivBaba who transmutes an ordinary stone into the ‘Paras’ or valuable and sacred touchstone which, according to mythology, changes iron into gold.

A universal man
When we mention the birthplace of Brahma Baba, we say that he had his physical birth in Sindh. But, his personality and character were such that he belonged to the world and not only to India or ‘Sindh’. He was a ‘universal man’.
It is said, in the scriptures, that a teacher who imparts spiritual wisdom to the ignorant is a father and a preceptor as well. Brahma Baba was all these three in one. But since all had taken their spiritual birth from the knowledge which ShivBaba gave by oration through Brahma Baba’s lotus mouth. Brahma Baba was also the mother of all. He was truly Prajamata and Prajapita Brahma- the great grand Pater-familias honored by all mankind.

He forgave and forgot
Not only did Brahma Baba not claim any credit for his great work but, on the contrary, some ill-informed people wrongly blamed him for nothing and cast aspersions and affronts on him. The poor fellows did not understand or recognize the fact that it was ShivBaba who taught and ordained absolute purity through Brahma Baba, and that he was not to be blamed for God’s own Act. But whatever anyone did to him, never did anyone see him ablaze with anger. On the other hand, he forgave them, forgot their evil acts, and blessed them too with his spiritual inheritance.

It is these and thousand and eight great qualities of him that come to our mind again and again,
especially on 18th January–the date in the year 1969, when he gave his mortal coil to work at the
subtle level and in an Angelic form called Avyakta Brahma.
