So, perform karma [actions], not for you, but for others. Try to forget yourself. Follow this to such an extent that you would have the state of Absolute Nakedness. Paradoxical as it may seem, perform karma — not to lose God, but to lose in God!
In the highest type of fana [state of annihilation], there is Divine Vacuum. Here, fana means complete losing of God, complete vacuum. In this state, you are not there, God is not there, nothing is there; but as soon as there is no God, no individual, God comes back with all glory, and you become Realized.
If, with herculean efforts, a man loses himself 100 percent, he becomes a majzoob. In this case, God is lost and found, but the Life of God is not lived. If he regains consciousness of the world, he lives the Life of God.
Even while experiencing the lower fanas, you get bewildered; but instantaneously the vacuum is filled up. For the final fana, you have to make herculean efforts for lives and lives. But once the final and mature moment arrives, the individual experiences Divine Vacuum.
Divine Vacuum — This vacuum is simultaneously filled up. But in certain cases, it so happens that before it is filled up, the link with the body is cut off.
In certain cases, the experience of Divine Vacuum and Divine Filling-up is simultaneous. But it so happens that the link with the world becomes loose, or there is the shattering of this link. Now they are not conscious of this world. They honestly do not know what they eat or drink; and after some days, they drop their bodies.
In very few cases, this link with the world is firmly retained, that is, it remains pakki [fixed; unaffected], and these are the Sadgurus.
Baba then left for Meherazad at about 6:30 P.M.
On Sunday morning, 2 November 1952, Baba arrived at 8:00 A.M. in Adi's car. He came into the hall, where all were assembled. Baba had instructed Pleader to repeat God's name in his room for three consecutive days on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. and from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M.
Baba stated that in the morning he would bow down to those twelve men, called the "japwalas," who were asked to repeat God's names, and also the four "priests" who were to read from the sacred writings or scriptures
Baba explained, "From today until the 15th, I will be a devotee."
