Subject: Bhau's "Awakening"
- Your Curtain
of Ignorance Should Be Lifted
Continued from Bhau's report regarding his trip to
Meherazad
After lunch I took some rest. People came from
different places, and I met them. At night, after the
dinner, I was sleepy, and I heard, "Get up! Getup!
Get up and see Me."
I opened my eyes. I was looking here and there, but I
could not see anyone.
The voice said, "How can you see me? You have put on
the curtain of ignorance. I am with you all the time,
but you cannot see Me because you are used to seeing
My form. Now, I do not have form, and I want you to
see Me in My Infinite form. For that purpose, your
curtain of ignorance should be lifted. Then you will
see Me everywhere and at any time. I will then be
there, and you will not be there."
I realized how much care my Beloved is taking for me.
I felt touched.
And the voice said, "Do you remember what I had said
to you when you were keeping watch, and you were
perturbed by something?"
I did not remember.
So Baba, through that voice, said, "Did I not ask you
to walk like when you grow to be 70 years old?"
I said to Him, "Yes, Baba."
And Baba, through that voice, said, "Walk."
The voice directed me to walk to one corner of the
room, to the other again and again. I started
laughing.
"Do you feel perturbed now?" the voice asked. "You
are laughing, and you are in a joy. Still you are
perturbed?"
"No," I said.
"So now see. Where was the anxiety which was hidden
within you?"
I could not find anything. On the contrary I was
happy.
And the voice said, "Sanskaras of anxiety, which were
giving you trouble, are no more. How can you feel
anxiety? Because of those sanskaras, you were feeling
anxiety. Now they are not there. You are happy and
joyful."
The voice continued, "Throughout the world there is
nothing but anxiety. Whether a man is happy or he is
miserable, he faces anxiety. One cannot get out of
that. The sanskaras of anxiety should by wiped out.
Then there will be no anxiety.
"This is My Universal Work for humanity. I come down
on Earth, age after age, to make people free from the
anxiety of illusory bindings. This is My period of
bestowing Awakening. No one has any idea what I am
passing through every moment. You work, you get
tired, and then you sleep and get rest. But rest is
not for Me. I work and work and work. On the
contrary, I work more when you take rest."
"You have no idea how much I love My mandali members,
because they have become the real sandals of My feet.
I use them wherever I go for My work. I can travel
everywhere with My sandals on, because I love My
sandals. I go on solving the problem of anxiety. But
it is necessary that people should call me
wholeheartedly, so that I may solve their problem.
But if they retain themselves and call Me, my sandals
understand the language of their selfish motive, and
check Me from going there. How will you understand
this? It is impossible to understand. I am the slave
of My lovers, and My slaves, when they know what to
attend and what not to attend, they behave
accordingly. Because I am the slave of My slaves, I
give honor to My slaves."
The voice then stopped.
I was just thinking how much the Beloved glorifies His
lovers. He is so glorious a one, that His glory
cannot be imagined. But He Himself makes His true
slaves glorious. What a compassion the Beloved has!
In His Love and Service,
Bhau

Ps. This is the gift of my visit to Meherazad, where
the Beloved sings the song of Oneness all the time.
The Beloved has become very, very kind to me, that He
talks to me through His silent voice. I don't hear
any word. I am amazed, how does it come to the level
of understanding, and I put it in words?
