There, Baba explained:
“”God can be seen. No matter what religion or faith a person may adhere to, once the veil of illusion is lifted by the guru he sees God. The only difference lies in the means adopted to remove the veil.
It is important not only that one obeys a guru's orders but how one obeys. A guru may tell you to do anything. And after doing it, he may blame you for it! He may scold you, asking why you did that. However, you should not reply that you did it according to his order; on the contrary, you should humbly say it was your mistake and ask his forgiveness.
On 2 June, Baba led the students of the Hazrat Babajan School to his Jhopdi. In simple Marathi, using many examples, the Master discoursed to them on different spiritual topics. He then presented some useful gifts to those children who had passed their annual exams.
Later that same day, the Master explained to the mandali about higher and lower spirits:
“”Higher spirits are actually agents of God — with powers and certain duties. They have physical forms in order to work in the world according to the directives issued by the Perfect Masters.
Lower spirits are those beings without physical forms whose sanskaras remain to be wiped out. They cannot progress after death until their unfinished sanskaras are worked out; as a consequence, they wander about on the lower astral plane. For this reason, they are a source of harassment to living people. Suppose a man is destined to have a lifespan of 40 years, but he commits suicide when he is 30. Consequently, for the remaining ten-year period of unexpressed sanskaras, his spirit inhabits the lower planes and, at times, is seen by some people as a spirit or ghost.
To hold séances or to talk with the dead [who have committed suicide] is laughable, because such spirits are always among us on this living plane. There are advanced yogis and munis who converse with these ghosts as well as with the spirits of the higher planes. These advanced souls communicate without using a medium; they live on both levels.
On 3 June, while comparing yogis to Sadgurus, Baba made the following prophetic remarks:
“”Some yogis in India can turn iron into gold, but it is useless because it serves no purpose. Even these powerful yogis have to pass through ages of cycles of births and deaths to attain the state of a Sadguru.
