But in that, again, he sees the divine light as me, Baba, so that his state is like a salik, but only Seeing — not Realized. He sees God, whereas the Realized Salik sees the Self in everything.
The baqa state [abiding in the Realized state] is likewise of two kinds — unconscious and conscious. Unconscious in the state of a majzoob and conscious in that of a salik. This is not mere seeing, but being united [one] with the Source of all.
Baba explained that the difference between Chhota Baba and Rajaram is not of their own making; it was Baba himself who gave them these different states.
"Rajaram's ardent devotion and staunch love earned him this state. He is now free from worldly cares and anxieties. When he drops his body, he will be freed from the rounds of births and deaths and will be in me."
Baba again repeated that Chhota Baba's body was in danger of dropping during the next two months.
When asked why he did not protect the boy, Baba explained, "After giving the spiritual push, for certain reasons, I cannot interfere [internally]. However, all external measures can be taken and are being taken to safeguard his body."
After questioning Chhota Baba on the 28th, someone asked Baba, "How can Abdulla read, reply, and go to the toilet without the mind?"
Baba replied, "It is I in him that is doing all this."
Then he further explained about Chhota Baba:
The mind is completely gone. He has no mind, hence no desires. Although he has a body, he has no consciousness of the same. He speaks only when asked. He himself would never speak without being asked. As far as his body goes, he would not care if he sat for 24 hours without sleep. Even I would be tired if I had to sit like that, but he would not, for he has no consciousness of his body and does not wish to have it. It would not matter to him if thousands came for his darshan, or if he were kept in a lonely room. To him, there is no difference. So perfect, so special is his case. None of the boys will be like him. He will be a great help to me in my work for the circle if he remains alive.
On Saturday, 28 January 1928, Babajan's birthday was celebrated.
