Aloba recited three Persian couplets by Hafiz, which were translated by Baba:
Obey the Master implicitly and willingly, then that solves all your difficulties.
What you hear about a Perfect Master, never say it is wrong, Because, my dear, the fault lies in your own incapacity to understand him.
I am the slave of the Master who has released me from ignorance. Whatever the Master does is of the highest benefit to all concerned!
Baba added:
God is indivisibly One; He is in each and every one. What then causes these apparent divisions? There are no divisions as such, but there is an appearance of separateness because of ignorance. Drops in the ocean are not separate from the ocean. The bubble around a drop gives the appearance of separateness. When the bubble of ignorance bursts, the individualized self realizes its Oneness with the Indivisible Self. The "drop" is not ; the Indivisible Ocean is !
Eruch was then asked to read 21 points which Baba had dictated. Eruch said, "Baba has given us 21 points, some not even as long as a line. They are not for the lovers of Baba, but for general use." He read them out and Baba elaborated on some of them:
1. God is absolutely independent. The only way to approach Him is through love, through constant repetition of His name and invocation of His mercy.
2. Mercy is God's nature.
3. Bliss is God's original state.
4. Power is God's Existence.
5. Knowledge is God's duty.
God cannot be ignorant. It becomes His duty to be all-knowing. God knows everything. He is Knowledge personified — knowing the past, present and future, knowing what has happened millions of years ago in the past and what will happen in millions of years in the future — that is all-knowledge. He cannot help but know everything. Knowledge is His duty.
6. The Infinite state of God gets lost in the infinite jumble of infinite contradictions.
There is no "time," only eternity. How can you grasp eternity? The one who has realized God realizes there is no such thing as time, space or anything; there is nothing but God. God is all-knowing; He is all-alone; He is One. But the infinite state of God gets lost in the infinite jumble of infinite contradictions. Then God, though all-knowing, asks "Who am I?" through each one of you — that also is a contradiction.
