“When a man sees an ant moving on the ground, will he ever feel jealous of it? Both the ant and the man move on a level on the ground; but there is a world of difference in their consciousness. The ant can never understand the intricacies of this machine-age. The ant, the ordinary man and myself move on the same land, but there is as much difference between the consciousness of an ordinary man and mine as there is between the consciousness of an ant and that of an ordinary man. Even in the animal kingdom, there is vast difference between the consciousness of an ant and an elephant. Has the elephant ever purposely walked over an ant feeling jealous of it?

“One of my devotees expressed an ardent desire to see a particular mast of Bombay, while a few others appear much concerned about the claim made by one who asserts that he is the Avatar of the age.

In this connection, Baba referred to and had read out an extract from one of the letters wherein he had said: 'No one is to be blamed. It is no one's fault. It was the Original Whim and the Original Urge of God that has started this Divine Game which He also can enjoy at His own cost.’

Baba continued, "I do not mean that there are no real saints in India." Here Baba mentioned a few well known saints of India. "There are," Baba continued, “also some real saints unknown to the masses. Compared with the known saints, these hidden saints are far more advanced. In this respect, however, I want to tell you with authority that both the hidden and the known saints have not realized the Self. Do not be misled by the use of certain words and phrases. If anyone addresses you as 'Dear Self,’ do not be under the impression that he has achieved the goal of Realization.

“The sum and substance of this long 'talk' is that you either hold fast to my 'daaman' only, or leave me altogether. Do not make any compromise. However, you are free to visit and pay homage to the shrines of my five Perfect Masters—Sai Baba, Upasni Maharaj, Babajan, Tajuddin Baba and Narayan Maharaj. Of my five Perfect Masters, four do not have any representatives. Only Upasni Maharaj has a representative. She is Godavri Mai. She has a very pure heart and there is no equal to her in this respect. You can go to Sakori and pay your respects to her.
