The individual mind is capable of containing, emanating and absorbing an infinite number of thoughts. In fact, all energy and all matter are but the outcome of the mind itself.
To understand the all-importance of God, Who is the only Reality, let us now compare Him with the mind, and let the hair over the head be compared with the creation. The illustration would at once suggest that compared with the hair on the head, the mind alone is infinitely valuable. Similarly, I say that God is infinitely valuable when compared with the whole of creation, which has no value other than that of hair — the hair that lures and the hair that creates illusory self-satisfaction.1
When Eruch finished, Baba jokingly remarked, "I remembered these points last evening when I happened to notice Kumar's head, which is tending to become bald."
Before everyone went for lunch, Baba stated, "If anyone wants to see my Real Self, it is through love alone that it can be done. That love I am able to give, and he who wants to receive it must be competent to accept it. It requires daring!"
After lunch, at 12:50 P.M., Baba sent Dhake to the pandal to awaken those who were taking an afternoon nap with instructions that once awake they should be told to sleep again for five more minutes and then come to the hall.
The group reassembled in the hall at one o'clock, and Vishnu Sharma of Dhagwan sang bhajans as Baba played the drum.
Baba praised Sharma's singing, and handing him back the drum, he instructed, "Keep it carefully as I have played on it."
Srivastava of Allahabad was wearing his coat and Baba asked him why he had not divested himself of it.
"Why are you sitting at the sahavas like someone paying a flying visit?" he asked.
Srivastava replied, "It would be impudent to do so in your presence as I am sitting in the darbar [court] of the Emperor of Emperors! I have kept my coat on out of respect for you."
Baba smiled and remarked:
It is true, but very few think of it! Even the [spiritually] great ones have not seen me. I am so infinite that I myself find it difficult to fathom my own infinity, though I experience that I am the only one in all, everywhere. I am one and I am in you, too.
