Krishnaji replied that what Baba ordered was exactly what he wanted to do. He would go and live in a small hut in his native village in Malabar (coastal South India) and read Baba-literature. Baba agreed to his suggestion.1
Changing the topic, Baba then stated that in December of that year, although he was expecting something serious to happen to his body, he wished to visit Andhra, Hamirpur, Bombay, Poona and Ahmednagar, accompanied by 40 men. There would not be any restrictions against touching his feet, bowing down, or doing his puja and arti, as there had been during the Fiery Free Life programs. Complete freedom, in this respect, would prevail. Adi Sr. was told to inform the group heads in Andhra and Keshav Nigam was to arrange the program in Hamirpur.
On Friday, 17 July 1953, Baba celebrated Kishan Singh's birthday, and distributed cake and tea. Afterward he continued his discourse on the states of God, given a few days before, for the benefit of those who had not been present:
The state of the majzoob is very good. Neither has he anything to do for the world, nor for his body. He himself is drowned, and he is God Himself! Except God, nothing exists for him.
The Jivanmukta is gross conscious. He eats, drinks, but has no concern with the world. The Sadgurus and Avatar also eat and drink, but their connection is with the whole world and with everyone.
God is absolutely independent in His Beyond, Beyond state, so much so that He has no consciousness even of Himself. In that state, He is the source of power, knowledge, bliss, beauty and wisdom, but He is totally unconscious of them. The other day, I said that in the Parabrahma state God is called Allah. He is the Absolute in that state. In it, He is conscious of His knowledge, power, bliss, eternity and infinity, but He cannot express them in that state.
God in human form can express all these. God is eternally independent. To say that God is eternal means that He always was, He always is and He always will be. You cannot grasp this. We cannot comprehend this thing in our normal state.
Imagine that He was. When we say "was" it means that something existed before it. So what is the beginning and when has it started? There is no beginning at all, and when there is no beginning, how could there be an end?
