And that whim has no time — otherwise it would not be a whim. A whim has no time. It is all of a sudden. Tukaram, the Perfect Master, says:
"No amount of knocking your head at the feet of a Perfect Master will give you that grace. It happens at the appointed moment."

To know God in His infinite contradictions is to become conscious of His Consciousness of His Unconsciousness. It is not meant for you all, but for those very eager for attaining spirituality and with an intellect to back them up.
Eruch continued the 21 points:
8. To achieve the God-state, do absolutely nothing while doing everything.
"Harry, isn't it true?" Baba asked.
"Everything is done by doing nothing," Kenmore observed.
