ONLY GOD IS REAL, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS A MERE MOTION PICTURE

(June 1932) Mary Pickford had Baba sit on a sofa and she herself sat on the carpet
by his feet. The others, too, sat down on the carpet around Baba, and
the wine of love began speaking to all hearts. Douglas Fairbanks
joined his wife near Baba, who conveyed to him:

The whole universe and its structure, I have created. The universe is
my cinema. But just as an audience becomes absorbed in witnessing a
drama on the screen, and the film engages their emotions and sways
their feelings by its influence, causing them to forget that it is not
real – in the same way, the spectators of the world are charmed by
this worldly film show, forgetting themselves and taking it to be
real!

So I have come to tell them that this worldly cinema in which they are
absorbed is not real. I have come to turn their focus toward Reality.
Only God is real, and everything else is a mere motion picture!
