322 THE GOD-MANThe so many deaths during the one whole life, beginning from the evolution of consciousness to the endof the involution of consciousness, are like so many sleeps during one lifetime.One who lives for himself is truly dead and one who dies for God is truly alive. Baba extended what hehad said the day before:"How God is beyond imagination I will explain in a few words. God has no beginning. Can you imaginewhen God was not? Suppose your imagination takes you as far back as millions and trillions of years, andthe answer is still: God was. But what was before God? And again the answer is: God was. So, cananybody imagine what was before God? Or how it all began? Even imagination cannot carry us to anyidea of how God began - how everything began. To think of having no beginning cannot be imagined.There is no beginning. And before God was? The same answer: God was. Now, in illusion you will findyourself getting a beginning. And where there is a beginning, there will be an end. So you, who areexperiencing illusion, how can you imagine that which has no beginning and no end? Yet you as yourself,as a drop of your own infinite ocean, have no beginning and no end. You have this form. You take birth.You have a beginning as a drop: you grow, you die, you end. You begin and end in illusion. You, asbodies, have a beginning and an end. You are the Infinite One, but as a body you have beginning and end;as the Infinite Ocean - of which you are the drop as body - there is no beginning and no end."To experience your real Self is the goal. You are and you will ever be. There is no one else but You.Instantly, in a flash, you will know everything, including why you have no beginning and no end. But thisknowing will have nothing to do with mind, reason, logic. It is beyond mind. You know the answer toeverything, you know that nothing has happened and nothing will ever happen. You then experience bliss,you become all-powerful, all-knowing."A discourse was read on:OmnipresenceThere cannot be anything hidden from One who is Omnipresent. And as there cannot be hidden anythingfrom such a One, he must be omniscient. He is all-knowing, knowing everything.
THE SAHAWAS 323Thus, it follows that he must be knowing to do everything. He will say: I know to create everything; Iknow to destroy everything; I know to preserve everything; I know to do everything.Thus he who is Omniscient is inevitably Omnipotent. His being Omnipresent made him Omniscient andthis also made him Omnipotent. In short, to be Omnipresent is to be both Omniscient and Omnipotentsimultaneously. All three attributes of God are linked with one another, giving rise to the infinite bliss ofGod. One who is Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent, cannot help but be in the infinitely blissfulstate.Baba said in explanation:"What happened yesterday? Nothing. What will happen tomorrow? Nothing. All happens now. Thisexperience of everything happening at this very moment is dnyan, knowledge, wisdom. It has nothing todo with the mind, reason. One who has this experience of eternal knowledge - dnyan - is wise. Mind says'It was yesterday that Baba was here. Baba gave us a discourse, and we all listened, and the children had aparty', and mind also says, 'Tomorrow we will have a performance'. But one rare being knows that there isno such thing as yesterday or tomorrow. There is the Eternal NOW from the beginningless beginning tothe endless end. There is one moment only - the ETERNAL NOW. He, who experiences the Eternal NOW,finds all doubts, worries, everything dissolved like mist, and remains in eternal bliss."Fore- KnowledgeA. The fore-knowledge possessed by an ordinary person depends on memory based on past experiences:(i) When a person sees a man on a mountain-top, the person has fore-knowledge that if theman falls down the mountain he will surely die.(ii) When a person sees a row of horses at the starting-point on a race-course, the person hasfore-knowledge that the horses will run as soon as the 'Start' signal is given.(iii) When a person sees a bottle of whisky, he has fore-knowledge that the liquid will giveintoxication. He associates whisky with intoxication.Thousands of such examples could be given of fore-knowledge in an ordinary person.
