The Father state is contained in the Son state; and from the standpoint of Universal work, the Son state is higher than the Father state. From the viewpoint of Divine Consciousness, both states are one and the same; but in the Son state, the duty of Universal work is to be done; the Father state is without duty.
"This is something quite new," Nilu declared.
Eruch said, "It is absolutely essential for the Christian world to know and grasp this, because it does not understand this difference between the Father and the Son. They take the Son as less than the Father and according to what you have explained, it is not true."
Baba replied, "Whatever it may be, I now want to be free from all this. It all relates to the world; but this subject deludes an ordinary man. When a magician performs his tricks, the children in their delusion take them to be real. But adults are not fooled, because they know it is all jugglery."
Baba further explained:
He who comes down from the seventh plane — from the state of the Father — and acquires gross consciousness, is like a magician. When he does his tricks, the whole of humanity is like children to him, and his children consider his activities as "real . " But there is a heaven-and-earth difference between a magician of the seventh plane and a juggler of the gross plane. The duty of the Divine Magician is to sustain the universe. This means that while doing his work, he has to teach his children that what they see and hear is not true; and to do this, he has to raise the children's powers of understanding. But all this, meant for the understanding of the world, becomes more delusive. Many a book has been written on this subject; but everything is like a coil of rope which those deluded are apt to take as a serpent. Everything is like the coil of rope — a fake!
Even to feel fed up is also a delusion, and also when I say I am waiting to break my silence. But this delusion is of a high grade to make others un-deluded. The Master Juggler does his tricks to sustain the Truth so that the children should not go wrong. In that he gets fed up, wondering when the children will be able to understand him and come to know the Truth and say that it is all a fake.
