The message "Have Hope" was read out by Don Stevens, and Baba continued:
There are volumes describing God, telling something about Reality, Truth, love. Baba also has given us a book, God Speaks . Baba has also given us many, many messages, but they do not help because they do not give you the Experience which is beyond the domain of the mind. They give us an idea, a sort of an intellectual conviction, that we have to cross the mind, the domain of the mind, and experience seeing God in everything. When one sees God, he sees as clearly, much more clearly, than one sees gross things with our gross eyes. And then one experiences infinite bliss. You have no idea of the experience of that bliss!
But there is one thing still further, another step, after seeing God and that is to become one with me. This is, of course, explained in the form of my messages, so that people may understand intellectually, have some idea of God, Truth, Reality. If one wants to see God everywhere and in everything, one must love me with all heart, with all devotion.
Baba continued:
We use the word love very loosely. Suppose a man sees a very beautiful woman and he falls in love with her. His love wants to possess that woman. He becomes restless; he has no appetite, he loses his sleep. He thinks of the woman all the time. But to love me is much more than this so-called love of the world, of a man loving a woman. It is much more than that. Infinitely more than that.
Only one who can dare to love me, can love me as I ought to be loved. To love me really would mean one has to cut off his head, place it on his own palm and offer it to me. Cutting not in the sense of chopping it off. That is very easy. "Head" means all your thoughts and desires — everything. Bringing them to me means placing them at my feet. Then you begin to love me; then you begin to find me, to see me in everyone and everything.
Baba concluded:
"I am the Lord of Love. At the same time, I am the slave of my lovers."
Two other messages were read aloud by Don Stevens, then Baba further commented:
All this is nothing but a dream. When you are asleep and see a dream, you find yourself speaking, enjoying, sometimes you weep, sometimes you feel happy. There is pain and pleasure in the dream. But when you are awake, you realize the pain and sorrow that you felt in the dream were nothing but a dream.
