Another man said, "Last night, because of the Arangaon scene before my eyes, I could not sleep. In it, I saw you showering your love on all."
One man explained that he did not sleep, and the entire time kept looking at Baba's picture.
Baba said, "If you get sleep, sleep; otherwise, continue looking at my photograph. When I cannot sleep, I see the pictures of my children in the world, and also my own picture everywhere."
He added, "In America, Nilu did not sleep for three months, because the whole night he was keeping watch by me; and, although he was permitted to, he could not sleep during the day, either. Nevertheless, he was hale and hearty; his health was good. You all have been sleeping from ages past, and now I have come to awaken you!"
The poor program was to be held that day, and Adarsh Khare said, "In the time of Ram, a boatman washed Ram's feet and did his puja [worship ceremony]. Perhaps in this Avataric period, Baba is seeking that boatman from among the poor so that he may serve him!"
Baba responded:
What you surmise is correct, but my explanation of why I am doing this is also true. I serve the masts because they represent various parts of my body. Some are the left hand, some the right; some are my nose, some my ear; and each and every part is useful and important for my work. From the beginning, I have been telling you that I am the Highest of the High and lowest of the low! I am the Ocean of Love, and I bestow love on you and accept love from you. I am with you, too. Lover and Beloved are all one. In the end [after God-realization], you will find that by loving me, you were only loving yourself.
To the Gujarati group, and in God Speaks , I have explained the difference between the Avatar and the Sadgurus. I said then that when the Avatar descends, God becomes man. The Sadguru is a man who has become God.
The world says the Avatar is born, as I become you all. In truth, the Sadgurus bring me down. On the gross plane, I am viewed differently according to the level of consciousness of the creatures concerned. I am one with the ants in the form of ants, and with men in the form of men. When I come on this plane, I become everything.
