They reaped the fruit of their faith and devotion, though they are unaware of it.
But the one who was the most fortunate was the fakir. Due to his firm determination and intense devotion, I had to disturb my seclusion and come down the hill. There has to be such true faith and longing to have the darshan of God — to move Him and bring Him down from the mountain!
On Tuesday, 1 May 1928, Baba concluded a discourse with the boys on Union with God, by stating, "In the end, the lover, the Beloved, and love all become one."
He then quoted a Persian couplet:
The inmost core of my heart is so filled with the thought of my Beloved
That my own name and existence are lost in thinking of Him.
Baba urged the boys, "So create love and you will see your Master. The Beloved can be loved even from a distance. There is no question of distance or nearness. Love is required and love can be awakened by constantly thinking of the Master."
