For instance, Rano has her craving for smoking cigarettes. She sees Kitty smoking. She, too, wants to smoke, and tries to contact Kitty to have a cigarette. But contact with a gross body by the subtle body is almost impossible. Kitty feels the presence of the subtle body and is scared. But poor Rano only wants to have a smoke.
In some instances she [Rano, the ghost] becomes so desperate that she waits until Kitty nods to sleep even the tiniest little bit, and then smokes through Kitty's gross body. The subtle can enter any gross body or thing. When it enters you, you don't even know it, and are not at all affected. But it can only enter your body when you are not conscious, when you are sleeping.
How many spirits have been drinking tea through Norina when she is not conscious? But the spirit has no hold, it does not reside in you or possess you, but just goes like the wind. And it only happens sometimes. Don't think about it, or you will go mad! It is of no importance, so trivial, so insignificant!
Sometimes you feel angry for nothing. This might be some spirit wanting to spend sanskaras of anger through you. But this is so unimportant, not worth thinking about. Our bodies are full of germs, but we don't think about it. If we did and tried to picture it in our minds, we would go mad. Masters are so bothered by these spirits — you have no idea. They want to touch me for liberation, and they do.
Always keep one thought in mind: that only God is real. Who is God? That which is One in existence. All things that exist are that One. If you say, "That exists," then that One is God. Everything else is automatically nothing. And if Nothing exists, then that Nothing, too, is that One God.
Can you grasp this? All this is nothing. The only thought you must have in mind is that nothing exists — zero exists. This nothing, too, is God. One God exists; nothing else exists. When you say nothing else exists, you mean nothing too exists!
What is Nothing? That, too, is the same One God! To call God "One" is not really right. God cannot be two. God is not One — it is all God — everything is God! Nothing is God!
