who must have seen this mast. He cannot be called a mad person, but he does appear mad. He also appears childlike. His mind does not function at all voluntarily. It is not a blank mind. He cannot be called an idiot either. He is different from a madman. His personality appears and we find in him that this state is due to his intense love for God; his longing for God has turned him into 'dust.' This mast does not belong to this world, although he is found in this world. The description given of this mast does not mean that I want all of you to become like that man.

The worldly judges do give justice—either a person is convicted or punished or acquitted or released, according to the judgment of the worldly judges. I am the Universal Judge and as such, I give justice. Not only do I give justice, but I also forgive, whether you are found guilty or not.'

Baba then humorously remarked: "P.B. is so much engrossed in his love for Me that I don't think he must have kissed his wife so intensely, as he did kiss Me now!"

"Here you find two brothers, D. and H., they love Me very much. One
