Baba: "There is nothing like space-consciousness. Here is an ant on the floor. You are all also sitting on the same floor. The ant crawls up your body. But its consciousness is different from yours. What is the difference?"

 

Anita replies, "The ant is only conscious of his crawling; I am a little conscious of this room but You are conscious of the whole universe."

 

Baba says, "There is a world of difference between My Infinite Consciousness and your ant-like consciousness. You are all ants before Me in My Consciousness, you are all crawling on My body!

Baba mentioned how hot it had been in this same hall last May. Even Colonel Goldney had to dash out of the room. Baba then mentioned that many Easterners were trying to get in for the three days of the East-West Gathering, demanding "Sahavas" badges. "Charles, are you happy?", Baba asks "Who is not happy? Raise your hands—Timur's hand is up!"

 

Mr. Timur: "I can't say I am unhappy, either!"
