“God is the Ocean, infinite, shoreless, ocean. Every drop in the ocean is the Ocean itself for there are no drops at all. . .it is all indivisible shoreless Ocean. But once you have a bubble . . . there is an appearance of separateness. Here is one bubble there another and there another. Each bubble encloses a drop. Mind is the bubble, you do not know that you are the Ocean, because the bubble gives you an appearance of individuality, until that bubble bursts.

Eruch said: "Baba has given us twenty-one points, some not even as long as a line. They are not for the lovers of Baba but for general use." He read them out while Baba elaborated on some of these points:

“Mercy is God’s nature.

 

“Bliss is God’s original state.

 

"Power is God’s existence.

 

"Knowledge is God’s duty.

 

"God cannot he ignorant. It becomes His duty to be All-knowing. God knows everything. He is Knowledge personified. Knowing the past, present, and future―knowing what has happened millions of years in the past and
