or Godhead, is attained. This is the real death, the death after which there is no more death, the death which is the first and the last, and as such, to be undergone only once; and it is the death which is unfailingly followed by the ever-permanent changeless, birthless, deathless, and fully superconscious life of  "I am God," the true manifestation of the Real I.

With the achievement of this Baka, the second Journey ends. The Soul (Atman) of the person now becomes completely identified with God. It becomes entirely disassociated with the mind and the subtle and gross bodies (though they apparently exist for the person concerned in the eyes of others) and the whole universe. In this highest divine state nothing but supreme infinite existence is left for him. He is God, conscious God, continually experiencing eternal, infinite Bliss, and nothing else exists for him. The mind and body (already disconnected with the Soul) of most of the few who reach this goal fall away after a few days. A few of such divine personalities retain their mind and body, but are not conscious of them. Still fewer return to the normal plane with complete mental, subtle and gross consciousness, and complete the third Journey.

The latter, the Godmen, Sadgurus or Kutubs, have a universal mind, and their mental body works in unlimited areas, i.e., everywhere in the universe. They are present in every finite mind, and as their mental body (Mahakaran Shair) is universal, they can respond to the call of every finite mind, and render the necessary help. But though they are universally connected with all, they are not aloof for even one moment from experiencing the Eternal Sat-Chit-Ananda state of God consciousness. Without a break, they enjoy the Majzoob state. They are beyond all, and yet in all, and with all. They give advancement to souls from the gross to the subtle, from the mental to the divine, and even directly from the gross to the divine, if they so wish. And besides individual advancement, they give a general push to the whole universe too.

They are the suns of the spiritual world, and each of their innumerable rays penetrates the innermost heart of each individual existence, gross, subtle and mental; thus, their infinite existence is linked with each and every thing. It was due to the constant experiencing of the infinite divine Bliss that the God-men could bear tremendous sufferings given by the ignorant masses for whose salvation they worked. While Jesus was being crucified, while the Prophet Kazaria was being cut in halves, while Mahomet was being stoned, and while Mansoor was being hanged, these God-men were enjoying the supreme Bliss spiritually without a moment's break, though they were physically undergoing unbearable sufferings and ordeals.
