Baba in his own words

“Any one of you, wherever you are, whenever you come to me, with your hand outstretched, with devotion, I am there to respond to your faith, day and night.” (Ch. 15)

“You may go anywhere on the face of this earth, I am always with you. I reside in your heart and I am within you. You should always bow down to that ME who thus resides in your heart. I am also the same ME who resides in the hearts of all beings. Therefore, whomsoever you come across, at home, outside or anywhere in the course of life, I am within them and I am myself present in them.” (Ch. 15)

“ To show you Brahman, where you are sitting, I have tried certain means so far. Did you not follow anything? For the sake of Brahman, the five pranas, the five senses of action and perception, ego, intellect and mind have to be surrendered.” (Ch. 16)

“The path of knowledge of Brahman is difficult. It is not easy to follow for all and sundry. When the time is ripe, it appears before that fortunate person, all of a sudden. That person who is detached from all worldly attachments upto the stage of attaining the feet of Brahmadev, he alone is qualified for the knowledge of Brahman. He has no attachment for anything else.” (Ch. 16)

“It is only through diligence and practice, when even your bones seem ready to disintegrate, that the Guru’s grace descends and enlightenment dawns slowly.” (Ch. 16)

“I am God. I am the Controller. When such ego takes hold of Brahmadev, he tends to forget his Real Self as the Supreme Spirit, then the universe is created. ‘I am that Brahman’. When this is realized, then he who has realized it surrenders to the Supreme Self; and, for him, the illusion of the existence of the universe disappears. This is proclaimed by the Shrutis.” (Ch. 16)

“ You share the food with whosoever is near you. But what do you do, when you are alone? What can I also do? Do you remember me? Am I not beside you? Do you offer me a morsel? ”(Ch. 24)
