s not real it has no value. The value of My 7th shadow would be absolutely nil. Similarly, worldly oy which is the 7 th shadow of Real Bliss has absolutely no value. When once one experiences that Bliss, none would not wnt to leave it and come back to this worldly consciousness even as a Perfect Master --
At 3.00 p. m. ]3aba asked a singer Mr. M. Y. Mohan ‘Saigal’, who had come from Bombay specially for this occass ion, to sing a bhajan. After one bhajau he began to sing some gazals. His voice was very melodious and reminded everyone of the great singer, the late Saigal. Baba was immensely pleased with his singing and as a token of appreciation, He gave him His handkerchief after the programme was over. -
Baba would often interpret what the singer was singing, for the benefit of those who could not follow the language. The following are some of the explanations given by Baba: On the Spiritual Path there comes a stage when the Beloved (Master) asks the lover to continue to live and not think of dying. And, when the lover struggles to live, he is asked by his Beloved (Master) to be ready to die I But in the end the lover becomes one with God in Love. He gets drowned in Love. May God help the man in whom the fire of Divine Love is blazing intensely. Apparently, his life is a misery. He loses everything, including himself, in the end. But then the easiest wayfor all is to hold on to My daaman till the end. How indifferent and independant. God is, although Ho Himself is everyone and everything. The more you love Him the more He turns His face away from you. But if you persist. you compel Him to turn His face to you. God is closer to you than your breath, and yet He is so far away. The lover says, “To gain
you,
39
is to lose myself”.
