Every one of you, every one of the mandali and all beings are God. Why? I understand it. I am responsible for the whole creation.

On November 18th (1937), Baba gave this message to that small group of passengers (on the deck of Circassia): Truth is infinitely simple and to realize it is naturally also easy.
