“”A person on the spiritual path gets the urge to know God. Then, if on the Path, he begins to see lights, colors, et cetera. He thinks he has reached the Goal, he thinks that he is experiencing God. He does not realize he has not even begun the journey. It is all tamasha [farce]. There are lots of experiences of the Path, but all of them are but a passing show.
The sign of having realized God is that a person continually experiences, without a break, that he is everything and everyone. He is the Infinite Ocean of Bliss; he is Omnipotent and Omniscient. But this Experience is not obtained by everyone. Only one rare soul realizes God.
To realize God is not as easy as one thinks. But this can be gained through love for God — by becoming dust at the feet of the Perfect Master. You are no longer your own; you belong completely to the Perfect Master.
Hafiz says:
If you want to be the chosen one,
Leave everything and stick to him in obedience.
Then the questions of why, wherefore and what
Should not enter your mind.
"Harry, Margaret, is it clear to you?" asked Baba.
They nodded affirmatively, and then he continued:
“”Another point is that God alone is and there is nothing but God. God is indivisibly one, and He is indivisibly in each and every one. He cannot be divided. Yet we see everywhere these divisions! What is this separateness? There are Anita, Beryl, Ella, Harry, Charles, and others. Why this separateness? Why are you all separate? God is in everyone and in Baba too — God is everyone. Baba himself is God. Then what are these divisions? It is only the play of maya and your ignorance! There are no divisions!
God is the Ocean — Infinite, Shoreless Ocean. Every drop in the Ocean is the Ocean Itself, for there are no drops at all — it is all an Indivisible Shoreless Ocean. But once you have a bubble, there is an appearance of separateness. Here is one bubble, there another, and there another. Each bubble encloses a drop. Mind is the bubble. You do not know that you are the Ocean, because the bubble gives you an impression of individuality, until it bursts. When the bubble of Anita, for instance, bursts and disappears, then Anita as the "drop" comes to know that she is really the Ocean.
