Baba replied, "Being a college principal and a scientist, that intrigues you. But I, being the Creator, my own creation intrigues me! What do you say to that? You have no idea of the things that intrigue me."
Suddenly, Baba smiled and motioned, "Look outside. What do you see?"
Niranjan replied, "I see the chappals outside."
"Just that much?"
"I see the barren ground."
"Only that?"
"I see the trees, the fields ... There are shepherds there."
"Anything else?"
"There are sheep, goats and cows grazing. A farmer is plowing the field."
"And?"
"I see a range of hills."
"And further?"
"Another range of hills extends beyond those."
"There is a vast horizon there. I can see the sky. Clouds."
Baba smiled and explained, "Your eyes are so small, so small when compared with all that. How can your tiny little pupils capture such vast things in the distance far, far away? How is it that all these things are bottled up in your eyes?"
He concluded, "Tell me how all that is in your eyes, and I will tell you how Infinity is bottled up in me!"
Niranjan Singh was quite happy with Baba's explanation.
On 10 November 1963, Baba met Dhake and Sushila and gave them instructions about their forthcoming trip to Nauranga. Sushila was given a talk in Hindi, written by Bhau, which she was to deliver to the gathering. Baba had her read it to him.1 Moorty also visited that day.
A devotee in Sholapur named Maniben E. Parakh was a singer and musician. She sent an invitation to Baba from the musical Artists' Union on its silver jubilee. In response, Baba sent her this message on the 11th:
If, besides being competent in her art, the artist has the devotion of Saint Mira for her Beloved [Lord Krishna], she may truly be said to be singing to God. I send my blessing of love to all lovers of the art of singing.
Also on the 11th, Eruch wrote to those in Bombay about conducting the affairs of their center:
Baba says that he always feels pleased and at home when he finds his lovers living and working for his cause in an atmosphere that is surcharged with the sweetness of humility, the fragrance of harmony and the sheer simplicity of love for one another.
