“”When he reaches that Christ state, he says: "Oh, I am God!" It takes many, many births for anyone to arrive at this answer to the query of "Who am I?" In between this final answer and the Original Question, there are infinite contradictions, many false answers such as, "I am so-and-so, I am man, I am woman, I am big, I am small, I am rich, I am poor, I am white, I am colored," and so on.
7. To know God in His infinite contradictions is to become conscious of His Consciousness of His Unconsciousness. This is His Beyond, Beyond state.
"Do you follow it, Harry?" Baba asked.
Eruch interrupted, "Baba says even he cannot follow it!" Everyone laughed.
“”"Explain it to me, Harry!"
Kenmore gave his interpretation, and Baba replied:
“”If I were in your place, I would say: "Baba, give me your love. I have nothing to do with all these contradictions, all this consciousness and unconsciousness, and consciousness of unconsciousness. I just want your grace and that would settle all accounts in a flash."
When by the grace of a Perfect Master, one gets that experience of the Infinite for which one has gone through millions of births and deaths, it comes in a flash. A poet says to his Master:
I cannot understand all this;
It goes in one ear and out the other.
Why can't you give me a glimpse of your Infinite State?
Aloba recited another couplet of Hafiz in Persian, which Baba translated: "The Master can turn this dust into the touchstone; he can bestow his grace by only a glance. Hafiz says, 'I don't want your full attention; just a side-glance of yours is enough to turn this dust at your feet into gold!'
“”"Harry, when will that be?" asked Baba.
"When we are fortunate to receive the grace of a Perfect Master!" Kenmore said.
Baba continued:
“”You are more fortunate to have the Avatar. My lovers are more fortunate to have God in human form in their presence. Just a glance from me can give you all you need — can turn your vision inward. You will be sitting here, without any outward change, but you will become what you really are. It will make an infinite difference.
"When will that be, Margaret? Harry?" asked Baba.
Kenmore said, "Well, the time comes when Baba gives that urge — that whim."
