Baba would often interpret the ghazal Mohan was singing for the benefit of those who could not follow the meaning. These are some of his explanations given then:
On the spiritual path, there comes a stage when the Beloved [Master] asks the lover [disciple] to continue to live, and not think of dying. And when the lover struggles to live, he is asked by his Master to be ready to die! But in the end, the lover becomes One with him in love. He gets drowned in love.
May God help the man in whom the fire of divine love is blazing intensely! Apparently, his life is misery. He loses everything, including his self, in the end. But then, the easiest way for all is to hold on to my daaman until the end.
How indifferent and independent God is, although He Himself is everyone and everything! The more you love Him, the more He turns His face away from you! But if you persist, you compel Him to turn His face toward you.
After one ghazal, Baba remarked:
God is closer to you than your own breath, and yet He is so far away! The lover says: "To gain You is to lose my self! What is love? What is the effect of love? You making me helpless, and my becoming helpless!"
My continuous experience is that I am in everyone and am everything. This is not said as a result of my having understood the Truth by the mind; it is the actual Experience of my being That . This Experience is the highest of experiences. This state of mine cannot be understood with the help of the mind.
While the singing was going on, an old man suffering from hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of his body) was brought to Baba.
Baba remarked to him, "If you live until I break my silence, you will be able to walk again."
A small girl of about four years of age came forward to Baba from among the crowd. She bowed to him and then sat right next to him on his sofa.
Baba remarked, "Some men drink liquor and then hide their faces; others drink and boldly face public criticism. The masts are also in an intoxicated state; but they do not care for people or anyone."
