On September 24th, (1929) Baba began goading Buasaheb. Once while Baba was teasing him, Buasaheb, in his vexation, said something regrettable, and Baba advised him, “Learn to swallow your anger.

(Sept. 1939) . . . in a lighter vein, Baba remarked to the mandali: Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.

On Sunday, September 18th (1960), Baba explained how “the world is a prison:” The whole world is a prison, for the Soul experiences being behind the bars in a cell of its gross-subtle-mental body.

The whole world is a prison, for the Soul experiences being behind the bars in a cell of its gross-subtle-mental body. The hold of illusion is so strong that it imprints the feeling of perpetual bondage. And the eternally free Soul – though Lone Sovereign and Supreme Lord – experiences itself as serf rather than Soul. Illusion stages the Lord’s …

A Lawyer named Mazumdar came to Nasik on the 16th of September (1933). Finding him anxiety-ridden, Baba consoled him: Do not brood over difficulties and do not take them too seriously.

Meeting with the women in the afternoon of Thursday, September 19th (1940), Baba heard some portions of music books read aloud, and commented: There are one hundred and thirty-two tunes in music.

It was Baba’s order for all to take a lantern while going out at night in the dark. Several days earlier, Meherjee had gone out to urinate at night, but forgot his lamp.

(Sept. 12, 1954) Age after age, amidst the clamor of disruptions, wars, fear and chaos, rings the Avatar’s Call: “Come all unto me!” Although, because of the veil of illusion, this call of the Ancient One may appear as a voice in the wilderness, its echo and re-echo nevertheless pervade through time and space, to rouse at first a few, …

(Sept. 1940) Changing the subject, Baba explained about meditation: Those who can meditate should do so. Those who cannot, should repeat my name for half an hour.

Jesus and his inner circle and the Christian mystics all stressed …

Today I will explain about trance and inner sight – samadhi. Trance, which the Sufis term “hal” and the Vedantists “bhav,” is just a momentary ecstasy which, in the true spiritual sense, has no great value. During this state of haal, one feels unconscious of his surroundings and of his own body, but conscious of an overpowering force of bliss pouring in on his soul. As …

On that Sunday, September 7th, ​(1937) ​Baba explained to the Western group about individual natures: For me all are equal. Universally, I love everyone equally. However, individually it is a different story. I do not love the cook as deeply as I love you all. Why? Not because she is a cook and you are above her, but because you …
