There are various experiences in the gross sphere, such as health, food, sight, [hearing, smell], et cetera. But when an aspirant experiences the subtle world, all those experiences of the gross world become insignificant. The experiences of the subtle world are as innumerable as those of the gross world.
In the mental world, there are few experiences. When a pilgrim enters the mental world and experiences it, the experiences of the gross and subtle world become insignificant. In vidnyan-bhumika [the seventh plane] there is only the experience of God. When an aspirant experiences vidnyan-bhumika, all the experiences of the gross, subtle and mental worlds become utterly insignificant for him.
When one achieves God-realization by the grace of a Perfect Master, it is either at midnight or at five o'clock in the morning. But the Avatar can give God-realization at any time.
Baba ended by quoting these lines:
When the Sun flew the flag at the top of the mountain at the appointed hour of dawn, The Beloved knocked at the door of the lover and said to him, 'Lo, I have come!'
The next day, 26 June, Baba added a few more points regarding the experiences of the planes:
Sometimes a wali of the fifth plane gets a glimpse of the sixth plane for a short time, then the experience disappears. Again after some time, the wali gets a glimpse of the sixth plane, which again disappears after some time. So he seeks the help of a Perfect Master to have more glimpses.
Hafiz illustrates this phenomenon with a simile. A boat in mid-ocean is tossed on the top of a big wave. When raised by the wave, the boatman sees a glimpse of the destination. But when the wave recedes, the boatman cannot have that view. So the boatman approaches the Qutub and requests him to send another huge wave so that he may have the sight again from the top of the wave.
Sarosh and Viloo's son, Merwan, returned from England and was to be married to Anita, his Swiss fiancée. One day he and Sarosh came to Guruprasad, and Merwan said, "Baba, I want your blessings on my wedding day."
Baba gestured, "Granted," and instructed that after the wedding in Ahmednagar, the bride and groom, and Sarosh and Viloo should come to Guruprasad to see him.
The wedding was held on Thursday, 27 June 1963. That day, Baba asked Eruch to phone Sarosh and find out how the preparations were going. Irritated, Sarosh shouted over the telephone, "Tell Baba it is raining cats and dogs here! We've had to change the wedding arrangements to inside." When Eruch related this, Baba just listened and did not comment.
