wine shop was a bullock cart . . . trying to get rid of themselves, all four pulled hard and continually at the bullock cart in an attempt to tear themselves out of their selves and thus renounce themselves. By morning they were exhausted. They had lost body-consciousness. This is how they tried to renounce their physical selves! They only had books; they had no living guide. How will you renounce your self, Anita?"

Anita: "Through obedience to the Perfect Master."

Baba: "Once you have determined to obey, you are no longer your own. But the slightest hypocrisy spoils your determination and makes the whole thing a farce. You must be honest and sincere in your obedience to the Perfect Master. It's not that easy. Only one rare one can do that! Ivy, can you obey implicitly?"

When this longing becomes too great, he either goes to her or compels her to come to him. This is called "Ishke Mejazi," or physical love. There are two kinds of love—physical love, and love for God.

He went mad for love, he couldn't sleep, he couldn't eat, he lost everything but his love for Laila. Even this sort of love of a man for a woman is rare. Then what about Divine Love?

“There is a difference between these two kinds of love. You cannot have love for God unless it is a gift from God. Then it is effortless. Once you receive this gift you go on loving. It is all a burning within. The lover thinks only, 'When will I see the Beloved, my Christ, My Baba, when will I become one with Him?' He lives only for this. This is Ishke Hakiki—or
