I have not come for that. I mean this for all — the mandali, as well as you all who are near me today. To bow down to me, to perform my arti, to worship me is not what I have come for. These acts are all good with saints. With me it is different, it will not do. I expect more.
Why have you been called here? I have come to receive your love and I wish you to obey me literally, so that you may have the conscious experience of me. If that be not your purpose, then you have come on a sort of picnic! I want to say everything today, so that we may be free hereafter. It is Baba's living experience that there is only One Reality, and all else is illusion. What is all this that we see and experience? Our staying here, my giving you explanations, even my being the Avatar is all a dream. Every day, you are dreaming; every day, you wake up and experience the same dream over and over again.
You are all sleeping, and in your sleep you dream of me. I tell you that you are dreaming, and you reply, "Baba, you are here, we see you; how could it be a dream?" But whatever you are experiencing here is all a dream. When you wake up in Reality, you will experience that all this was a dream.
A child is born and as he grows, his consciousness also increases. From childhood to youth, middle age and old age, but not a thought occurs to him as to from where and for what he has taken birth. Births after births pass in this way. He only thinks of worldly things, never about the Real thing. Rarely does someone become really awake. This dream is far too long. Hafiz says thousands of lovers out of love for God are rolling in the dust, but hardly one realizes Him. It requires cycles upon cycles for a man to get enlightened. Books say that even after eons, [only] one finds God. But this is the time when those who obey me will realize me.
It is important to obey me cheerfully. If that is not possible, at least obey . If I tell Raosaheb to kill his son, and if he does not do it cheerfully but does it anyway, still he would find me.
