The false I cannot be anything but false and it cannot have any conception of the Real I . The Real I , acting as the false I, forms a false conception of the Real I. Then what does the false I say? It says, "O Real I , I worship Thee in all! You are the Only Reality. I bow down to Thee. You are Omniscient in all," et cetera. And the irony is that when the false I prays to and worships the Real I, it sees and comes across only other innumerable false I s. In fact, it worships other false I s rather than the One and Real I .
However, the Path of Love [prem yoga] is unique because, in [that form of yoga], the Real I plays the part of the false I, the lover, while it, itself, covertly remains in the background as the Beloved. And, while continuing to play this part, it burns or consumes its false ego, ultimately to remain itself as the Beloved.
In Eruch, for example, the Real I acts as the false I and loves the Real I within. On one hand, there is the Real I, and on the other there is the false I as Eruch. But these are not two separate I s. The false I as Eruch tries to bestow love on the Real I. And that is why with a gradual increase in love and with a greater intensity of longing, the false I by degrees [as the lover] gets more and more consumed and effaced by love. All the while, the Real I as the Beloved remains in the background as it really is. Eventually, when the false I is totally consumed, there remains neither the false I nor love. The Beloved as the Real I reigns supreme as One Infinite, Indivisible Self.
In the subtle planes, the inner experience of the Real I may be said to be a divine hallucination. In the mental planes, the inner experiences of the Real I may be said to be a spiritual nightmare. Inner experiences end in divine awakening.
When Baba was discoursing on the Real I acting the part of the false I, Gulmai who was sitting on Baba's left whispered something amusing in his ear which made him laugh.
At exactly 4:30 P.M., the Arangaon group sang a few bhajans. Afterward, Aloba stood up and read something in Persian over the microphone, which Baba pointed out no one but Aloba could understand, because he alone spoke Persian!
