But the professor remained dissatisfied. He was not in an accepting mood. He was unable to grasp the positive sense of Baba's pure wisdom. His mind was blurred by its own struggle in duality. Suddenly, prompted by an uncontrollable inner anger, he abruptly interrupted Baba, bringing an end (to the relief of us all) to his own awkward position. He turned to me with these words, "Tell your Master that he has not given me any new answers. He has repeated all over again the old, worn-out formula for Truth!"
Baba, who is immovable in his divine bliss, merely smiled with benign humor and instantly solved this embarrassing situation by putting his hand on the excited man's head and, looking deep into his eyes, settled the mental storm at once. It was as if the man's life energy were exchanged for a deeper substance. He began breathing deeply, as if stopping the mind's reactive attitude. He became a transfixed receptacle of grace before my eyes.
An instantaneous act of expansion of consciousness took place. After a while, he regained his normal composure and he bowed his head to Baba with the expression of a newborn soul christened by divine waters, saying, "I know love is the only answer to all questions. Love is Truth and you made me realize it. I now know only love can solve the problems of the individual, of duality and the battle of life."
Kneeling before Baba, he said, "Take my whole life and use it."
Baba replied, "Do not be confused; do not struggle. Do not change the mode of your life, but make an effort with all your heart to create longing to be one with God. This longing will make you see the Self."
Cautioning him, Baba then added, "The glimpse I have given you now will not last, but you will understand more and more of the Truth. You will go deeper and deeper into it, and in the due course of time, you will be able to be of great service to humanity."
After he left Baba's room, he stood for a while before the closed door. With tears in his eyes, he said to me, "To think that I did not want to see God! I thank you for making me come. Please let me know whatever I can do for him. I am at his service." Wiping his cheeks, the professor slowly left.
