By this time, most of the lovers had returned inside the hall, and Baba wanted to hear music by the Poona bhajan group. The small group entertained Baba with touching bhajans and meaningful ghazals. Most of the songs were composed about Baba's divinity.
At the end of a Hindi song, referring to the status of a Sadguru, Baba conveyed: "I am eternally and indivisibly One and continually experience that state. I am myself everything — the drum and the harmonium, the notes and the tunes, and the singers and the listeners! I am everything and in everyone."
He asked Ramakrishnan, "Do you follow what I say?"
He frankly replied he merely heard the words and nothing more.
At that Baba smiled and continued: "Such is the state of consciousness of the one in the Sadguru or Qutub state. It is all sahaj — natural, spontaneous. There is no scope for thought since a Sadguru and Qutub has become Knowledge Itself. However, though I am everything and in everyone, the expression of this partial awareness is occasional."
To make it more clear, Baba continued: "You know that you are in all the parts of your body, but you are not all the time aware of being in each part of the body. Only sometimes you say: 'This is my nose, this is my eye.' You are your little finger and are in it. Yet ordinarily you are not aware of it as yours. But when the little finger is cut off, you become specifically aware of it as 'mine.'
"The Sadguru or Qutub also consciously experiences himself as everything and in everyone, and this Experience is immediate and spontaneous for him every second. It is not a product of thought, just as your experience of being in the little finger. This Experience is sahaj !"
Kamble had injured his leg the day before and looking at him Baba observed: "I do not necessarily need the rich, the respectable and the intelligent for my work. I need the simple, common people, irrespective of their weaknesses. When I was Jesus, I liked to surround myself with poor fishermen and, as Krishna, I was happy in the company of lighthearted gopals [cowherders who were Krishna's companions]. Was not Pendya, a lame gopal, very dear to Krishna?
"Now during my Avatarhood, the cripples, the fallen and those deprived of most means are my workers. I know that for my work you are the mediums. So be not anxious about anything. Go on doing as I tell you, and let the whole world say what it likes. Just carry out my instructions and love me more and more."
