Only such a teacher can really teach and none else. All these negative, breaking-down, destructive teachers that are in the world can never do any good.
Baba elaborated upon Vivekananda's words:
Suppose a teacher holding an M.A. [Master of Arts] degree teaches children the alphabet. Necessarily, he has to come down to the level of his students and read, write and repeat the ABCs along with them. Only then will he be able to teach and impart his knowledge to them and gradually bring them up to his own level. If he does not bring himself down from the great heights he has attained, his labors on the students would be wasted. Similarly, a Perfect Master brings himself down to the level of ordinary mankind and, in the course of time, imparts his Knowledge to his fellow man.
Take the case of the Prophet Muhammad himself: When his enemies proved unrelenting and his life was in danger, he actually fled from Mecca and took refuge in Medina. The greatest Spiritual Master of the time behaved like an ordinary man when confronted with such a crisis.
This is the reason why it is only the Sadguru who can make others like himself. It is impossible for majzoobs and masts to do this, as they are so drowned in their divine bliss that they are even unconscious of their bodies. When their state is like this — oblivious to the universe — how can they realize others?
Referring to his condition in Bombay, as opposed to what it had been in Poona, Baba said: "Whatever I had told you was to happen in Poona is happening in Bombay. Months ago, I had said I would have to bear great suffering in Poona — so much so that my eyes will sink in their sockets. This has taken place here in Bombay. I had told you I would be violently beaten; so it is possible it may soon occur here. My every word will come true, but I alone know how, when and where. You will not be able to understand them. To talk about and understand such subjects requires special ears and a different tongue."
Baba continued speaking about his internal suffering: "My suffering is twofold because I have received my charge from two sides — a little from Babajan and much from Upasni Maharaj. Maharaj knows this and, therefore, constantly sends word with Rustom or Sadashiv asking me to come to Sakori so that he may ease my burdens and sufferings.
