3 Mercedes in our driveway, by Electra, Southern

Namaste I received an email this morning from Baba’s Astroved site. The topic was wealth. I would like to share an amazing story. Several years ago I had gone to an event with a relationship question in my mind. I spoke with several people while arranging flowers for the following day. Baba spoke about Mercedes. I did not relate. Cars had never been an issue for me I always had a nice car. I knew Baba was really using the M car as a metaphor for wealth. 6 months later at an LA event one of the people I had met at the retreat sat behind me. We exchanged Hellos and he asked me how things had progressed since the last event. Nothing new in my world….I realized he wanted me to ask about his life and I did. He was very happy about his new car, a Mini Cooper and his work was busy. I turned around and centered myself again. I had to turn back to the man and say Oh I have a new car as well. I had to laugh. The car was forced on me. I did not want it at first. Its a beautiful new car. Platinum in color with a red interior. Mercedes engine and drivetrain with a retro body design by Chrysler. Oh Baba what a funny Joke. 6 months later my boyfriend called me from a Mercedes dealer. Should he buy a car he was looking at? I was in shock. Money had been tight and he was looking at a Mercedes. I told him to think it over. It was a Saturday and he drove home in a black Mercedes sportscar. This car was over the top. That night we went to look at it in the garage viewing it from a door thru the house for a front view. WHoa it was overwhelming. That was a lotta car. And Black! He had always said he would never own a black car. Too hot Too hard to keep clean. He owned the car for 6 months but rarely drove it. He tried to sell the car but could not. He offered it for a great deal. No one would even look at the car. He found a car dealer in Northern Calif who would trade the car. Yes he drove home with another Crossfire. So in two years following Baba’s retreat on Mercedes I had 3 Mercedes in my driveway….if we wanted them or not. We love our Crossfires. I think some people prefer secret wealth. Thank you Baba
