318 <strong>THE</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>-<strong>MAN</strong>still illusion. On the mental pl<strong>an</strong>e you see wonderful things. Your vision ch<strong>an</strong>ges <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> you see illusion froma different <strong>an</strong>gle. But you have to go beyond illusion; then the gross, the subtle, the mental <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> God are allhere. Don't think that the gross, the subtle, the mental are higher or lower th<strong>an</strong> each other - all are here. Itis your <strong>an</strong>gle <strong>of</strong> vision that makes the difference. You begin to see more deeply into the subtle, then moredeeply into the mental sphere, then you take a complete tum <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> see yourself as infinite. Nothing remainsbut your self."Have you <strong>an</strong>y idea <strong>of</strong> that bliss? It is continual, <strong>with</strong>out a break, everlasting, never-ch<strong>an</strong>ging. <strong>Baba</strong>continued, saying, 'in a big group, there are big differences. So in Andhra I had to spend a whole night inRajamundry discoursing on work. But in spite <strong>of</strong> doing their best to follow my instructions, difficultiesremained; so at the sahawas they had complaints to make. Instead <strong>of</strong> talking to each individually, I gavethem a five-minute discourse on work." He then asked what time it was <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> said, "<strong>Baba</strong>'s time is ten afterten". (It was really ten after eleven). <strong>The</strong>re followed this reading:Action <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> InactionI. In the Beyond-Beyond state <strong>of</strong> God there is 'Unconscious Inaction'.II. In the state <strong>of</strong> God-realization, there is 'Conscious Inaction'. This is not the state <strong>of</strong>Perfection but <strong>of</strong> Liberation (Najaat). In this state there is absolute tr<strong>an</strong>quillity which givesrise to infinite power, knowledge <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> bliss.III. In the Intermediate state (between I & II) there is 'Conscious Action'. Actions promotes<strong>an</strong>skaras. S<strong>an</strong>skaras in tum breed more actions <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> create bindings; in this state there isbondage.IV. In the state <strong>of</strong> Majzoob <strong>of</strong> 7th pl<strong>an</strong>e there is 'Unconscious Action'.V. In the state <strong>of</strong> Perfect Master there is 'Conscious Active Inaction'.This was interrupted by <strong>Baba</strong> saying:"Perfect Masters are free <strong>of</strong> s<strong>an</strong>skaras: they have no impressions. As such, there c<strong>an</strong>not be room foractions <strong>of</strong> their own: their life is one <strong>of</strong> inaction but made active because <strong>of</strong> the prevailing environmentalcircumst<strong>an</strong>ces. Actions <strong>of</strong> Perfect Masters are prompted by the environmental atmosphere prevailing."
