108 THE PATH OF LOVE
between them. They get totally lost in love for one another.
There is neither admiration nor fault-finding. There is total
absence even of exchange of thought: love prevails without
thoughts. Mind becomes defunct for the time being: for in such
intense human love mind does not come into play. The mind
apparently gets annihilated for the fraction of a second when
love and loving are at their zenith. This brings about a state similar
to trance. If ordinary human love can go so far, what should
be said of the height of love divine
I am the Ancient One, the One residing in every heart.
Therefore, love others, make others happy, serve others, even at
discomfort to yourself; this is to love me. I suffer for the whole
universe. I must suffer infinitely: unless I suffered how could I
ask my lovers to suffer for others I am One with all on every
level: I am One with all on every plane of consciousness: and
I am beyond all planes of consciousness.
My Wish
Baba said: The lover has to keep the wish of the Beloved. My
wish for my lovers is as follows:
1. Do not shirk your responsibilities.
2. Attend faithfully to your worldly duties, but keep always in
the back of your mind that all this is Baba’s.
3. When you feel happy, think: “Baba wants me to be happy.”
When you suffer, think: “Baba wants me to suffer.”
4. Be resigned to every situation and think honestly and sincerely:
“Baba has placed me in this situation.”
