Rustom Kaka proceeded to sing one of Bhau's ghazals written in Hindi. Keshav Nigam and Pukar had arrived from Hamirpur according to Baba's wish, and they approached him at his bidding. Baba had called them for some work and instructed them to go to Meherazad, have a bath and refresh themselves. They left after Baba said that he would discuss the work with them later.
At this point, Sarosh's brother Dinshaw's wife, Soonamai Irani (Goher and Katie's mother's sister), entered the hall and sat on the dais.
Baba remarked to her, "The body might drop anytime. Therefore you should try to remember me and take my name as often as possible so that when you die, you may be freed of your worldly affairs."
At the time Soonamai appeared to be in good health, but later it was found she had cancer.
Baba then addressed the audience:
God is Infinite. He is all-pervading. He is in each and every one and in everything. Even children in schools in India know this as this is what they are taught. If one studies Vedanta thoroughly, he is under the delusion and concludes that he has reached the state of "I-Am-God," and not only is he God, but that he is everywhere and in everything! Becoming an adept in Vedanta does not mean that one has become God. One gains thereby a mere intellectual understanding of God, Who is quite beyond mind and intellect. He can only be felt and experienced through pure love — through heart, and not through mind. This love must be 100 percent pure. It must be honest love. Only then can one cross the domain of the mind and intellect.
Even then it is only a rare one who sees God as all-pervading. He sees God within more clearly than you see the objects of this world with your gross eyes. God is to be seen within and is not to be sought outside. When there is a real longing to be united with God, then one becomes like a fish out of water. And still only a rare one realizes Him.
When one becomes God, then every other thing vanishes — mind, body, intellect, the world and its affairs, et cetera. Then the Realized-One knows anything and everything through experiencing the "I-Am-God" state and claims: "I am God!" with authority. This state can never be achieved through an intellectual understanding of Vedanta. The state of the God-realized Man is indescribable; it must be experienced.
