That is also why among the five Perfect Masters there are four males and one female.
These are secrets that no previous Avatar has revealed intellectually, and are essential for tomorrow's "fighting" — quite essential.
Baba summarized the matter:
You are all souls, not bodies. Picture yourself as drops, and your body as bubbles inside the ocean. Now, each of you drops sees neither your own drop-state nor the drop-state of others. You see your own bubbles and bubbles of others, and this large bubble of the world.
Those who enter the subtle world see their own subtle body and the subtle world, but they do not see the gross world. These souls of the advanced state have consciousness of their own bodies and also of others; but they do not see the gross world. They can also see all the backward forms from stone to human. Those on the subtle plane see everything subtle. They see the gross human state subtly [in a subtle state]. They can also see their own sanskaras. So do the advanced souls on the mental plane see everything mentally. They see everything on the gross and subtle planes as well as all previous forms; but all this time, their seat is on the mental plane.
I can see your gross and subtle forms and help to bring you to the mental plane. Those on the mental plane, while experiencing the mental, can even raise the dead. They are directly on the plane of the mind.
Touching on a few more points, Baba explained:
The subtle is latent in the gross. Those on the subtle plane can contact those in the gross body through their subtle body, because they cannot see the gross.
A majzoob is overpowered by the state of God in which he is drowned. Hence, he has no idea of the world. He has no mind. He has a body, but is not conscious of it. Then who feeds it? His Infinite state [feeds his body]. The majzoob neither sees his own body, nor the body of anyone else.
A Perfect Master contacts God and all other states — gross, subtle and mental — at one and the same time. He helps all souls. He is called the 'camel-driver' in Sufi literature. He is the center of everything.
The Perfect Master has to work on all planes, and he rests continually on the seventh plane and enjoys the bliss of that plane.
