FOUR CHAPTERS ON BABA BY DASGANU MAHARAJ SHREE SANT KATHAMRUT BY SHREE DAS GANU CHAPTER – 57 Those who consider illusion as the truth are called illusory. They are covered with nescience, Nana. You see an emperor, his officers and his messengers. All of them are due to the existence of the empire. They are all different. The emperor enjoys elephants, palanquins, different vehicles etc. He controls others at his will. His officers have to act according to his orders. Their wishes are dependent on those of the emperor's. The messengers have to execute his orders. Their own will is limited here. The subjects are under the envelope of the power of the emperor. Everything, the emperorship, messenger ship and also the

subject hood, are all dependent on this power. This power, however, is different from all of them. When the emperor dies, the power of the empire does not cease to be. We can easily understand the different aspects of this power. He who becomes one with the power becomes the emperor, though the power is independent, everything happens when one is supported by it. Nana, you sit in the chair (of the Secretary) due to the power of the empire. Your peon who swings the fan over your head does so due to the same power. Both of you are there (in the office) due to the same power but you perform different duties. The emperor fully enjoys this power. A part of it is enjoyed by the officers. The peon enjoys even a smaller part of it. The subjects, too, enjoy under its aegis. Thus, the spiritual souls become one with the Bramhan and enjoy complete bliss. Upon this Nana asked very politely, How can one divide the formless power of the empire into different parts? Once we name the different parts, its nature of being formless vanishes (Hence it contradicts the assumption). Baba said. “A very good question, Nana! I am very glad you asked it. The power of the empire, certainly, cannot be divided. We, however perceive its divisions (parts). Same is the case with the Chaitanya which appears to be infinite but one perceives its parts.

Though one cannot divide it into parts the recipients enjoy it partially according to their abilities. The space occupies small and big pots, utensils and the

sky. The containers may have different capacities to fill the space. Does it, then, mean that the space is

divided? Nana, understand this. This is the case here too. This is how the soul is. I have explained to you the nature of the Soul Whatever we see around us is the trick of the Maya (illusion). This universe is formed by the union of the Maya and the Bramhan.” ------------------------------To Be Contd---------------- Sairam Baba guide us all Manisha
