Today I can say that the patience of some, the love of some and the faith of some of you make me feel that you are more devoted to God than I. When I see today the patience, longing, love, faith of you all, I feel that God will fulfill our desires, if we have any, in April. So today I must not give up my stand of a devotee. So add the words, "God's Will" in the circular.
About Sadguru Dnyaneshwar, Baba elucidated:
He was very young. The unique thing is that the whole family got Realization. Dnyaneshwar had Realization within his teens and has written very beautiful lines on guru-bhakti [devotion to a guru]. Nivrutti, his elder brother, was his guru. Sopan, his younger brother, and Muktabai, his sister, too, were Realized souls. And God knows what depth of Experience they had!
Bayazid, the Sardar [Leader] of Sufis, got Realization at the age of 90. Even if someone 99 percent spiritually prepared dies, he has to take a body again for the remaining one percent preparedness. In such cases, Realization is achieved either in childhood or after 60 years of age.
In Sufism, all such points like grades, types and sects of walis, the range of work and heritage and other subtle details on the Path have been clearly and specifically mentioned. They have classified even the Perfect Ones according to their duties towards the world. Kamil is the Perfect One; Akmal the most Perfect One; Mukammil the Supremely Perfect One; and Saheb-e-Zaman [Avatar] is beyond Mukammil. As for Nabis [Prophets] or Sadgurus or Qutubs, to call them perfect would be childish. It is clear that perfection implies no imperfection. But it is said that in a Qutub there is "infinite perfection and infinite imperfection" simultaneously.
After telling the story of the saint Abdul Hussain Wali, Baba made a reference to the Empire State Building:
"If you stand on the topmost story of the building and have a look at the street below, persons would appear to you like worms. Then how insignificant and small would man appear to those who have experienced the highest state of consciousness? Indeed, the glory of Knowledge is indescribable, immeasurable."
Baba asked the mandali to tell funny stories or lively jokes. Afterwards, he instructed all to wash their faces and hands. Then the names of God from different religions were repeated aloud. At its completion, Baba observed:
