As I said the other day, the gross, subtle, mental spheres and God are all in you, in your human form. Do not try to find them in some other world. They are in you. It is the vision of consciousness that gives you the experience of other worlds.
In the gross world, the whole cosmos exists; also in the subtle and the mental worlds there are innumerable experiences. But the experiences you have of the gross world are different from those in the subtle world. You yourself do not change; all is in you. You do not go to "geographically" higher levels. As the angle of vision of consciousness changes, your experience changes.
In the end you experience yourself as God which, in the ultimate experience, is the real experience. All other experiences of the gross, subtle and mental worlds are illusion. So are all the states of heaven, hell, limbo [astral], planes, and so forth. Don't seek them anywhere but within you. Eventually to become your own Self, you have to love me. There is no other solution.
Regarding surrenderance this short message was read:
He who genuinely surrenders to a Perfect Master surrenders completely without asking for permission to do so. He does not even expect acceptance of his surrender from the Master. Complete surrender, in itself, embodies the acceptance by the Master of the man who has surrendered completely as he ought to have done.
Baba commented, "To ask me, 'How can I love you?' is to insult love! How can I answer? What is your answer, Harry?"
Kenmore replied, "Thanks for placing me in this predicament! One cannot be told how to love Baba; one must pretty much find it out for oneself. Such a question denies love on the part of the lover."
Explaining about love and obedience , Baba continued:
Had Jesus told Peter how to love him, Peter would not have denied him. I can tell you all how to obey me, but there is no answer as to how to love me. Love me in the way you understand love.
I can tell you how to obey me: Do anything I tell you, even at the cost of life itself. And if you do obey 100 percent with all sincerity at any cost, it will be greater than loving me.
Obedience is greater than love. But who can obey me? Only a rare one can do so, but I have that assurance from you all. Just do whatever I tell you to do. You have all put up your hands; we will see.
