It will convey the simple Truth in its utter and indefinable simplicity. It will mark the moment of fulfillment of the Divine Life. It will throw open new gates to Eternity.

Wine is prepared by the crushing and further crushing of grapes, whereby it acquires the capacity for intoxication, which usually takes away one's command of understanding. Close and repeated feeling of love for God also brings intoxication, but this takes you toward true understanding. This understanding is not gained through reason or intellect.

Babajan, the Master who, in less than an instant, made me experience my Ancient, Infinite State, had the Muslim form of a woman. Upasni Maharaj, who brought me down to normal consciousness, had a Hindu male form. Babajan was a young and beautiful girl from a high, noble and rich family, when she renounced the world just before she was going to be married. When at Poona, with one kiss on my forehead, she made me know that I am the Ancient One. She was about 100 years old, sitting underneath a tree like a true fakir.
