GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITHIN YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FIND HIM THERE . . . – NOT OUTSIDE

On Sunday, January 8th (1939), people of all beliefs poured in to Baba’s bungalow for darshan all through the day. A sadhu who headed an ashram some distance from Jabalpur came and, seeing Baba, exclaimed, “I saw you in Hardwar in December!”

Chanji interjected, “But Baba was in Meherabad during December!”

Baba declared, “Baba is now here with you, and at the same time in many other places!

The sadhu expressed his desire for God-Realization and Baba praised his intention. “Can I find God?” the sadhu asked.

“Why not? All have to,” Baba answered.

“How?”

“By losing your self.”

“By sanyas? By renouncing the world?”

“No, not by renouncing the world, but by renouncing your worldly desires. God is always there within you and you have to find Him there – not outside.”

“How can I find God?” he asked.

“I will help you,” Baba promised.
