Even if I explain it to you for ages you would never even get an idea of that Bliss. It can't be understood without Experience.
Giving other examples to the mandali, Baba continued to write on his slate:
Take this Makan we are sitting in as the house of God-realization. There are so many boxes, vessels, lanterns, and other things in it. Now, suppose you have not seen any of these things and do not know anything about them. How could you get an idea of what they are? There are two ways, either by explanation or by seeing them — that is, by experience. The way of description, definition, or explanation is very difficult and lengthy. But suppose you were brought blindfolded into the house, and once inside your blindfold was removed. Then you would see the things for yourself and would know exactly what the house contained.
Take another example. Say you were to blindfold an illiterate villager of Arangaon and take him to New York City. When you remove the blindfold, he will be amazed at the things he sees — things he never dreamed existed. Carriages, motorcars, trams, trains, and all such humdrum of city life would make him stare blankly all round in amazement! Explaining these things to him in Arangaon would have been futile even if you had tried to explain them to him for years and years, because he could not have understood. But by seeing New York for himself, he knows all about it in no time. In the same way, even if I died explaining all things to you, you would still be where you are today. But experience will give you the knowledge.
God-realization is possible; however, your eyes are blindfolded and you have no idea of what it means. For, although I sincerely offer you the priceless "pearls" of Sat-Marga [the path of Truth], you go and dip your mouths in the narka. So, the duty of the Sadguru is, first of all, to relieve and free you from the venomous clutches of maya, and then to give you the Experience.
Leave everything — meditation, spiritual exercises, the repetition of God's name — everything which is a burden to you. These practices will only confuse you more. What is the use of even going to a majzoob when he is immersed in eternal bliss and unconscious of the world and its affairs?
