330 THE GOD-MANBaba commented:"As I said the other day, the gross, subtle, mental spheres and God are all in you, in your human form. Donot try to find them in some other world. They are in you. It is consciousness that gives you the experienceof other worlds. In the gross world the whole cosmos exists; also in the subtle and mental worlds there areinnumerable experiences. But the experiences you have in the gross world are different from those in thesubtle world. You yourself do not change; all is in you. You do not go to 'geographically' higher levels. Asthe angle of vision of consciousness changes, your experience changes. In the end you experience yourselfas God, which is the ultimate experience, the real experience. All other experiences of the gross, subtle,mental worlds are illusion. So are all the states of heaven, hell, limbo, planes. Don't seek them anywherebut within you. Eventually to become your own self you have to love me. There is no other solution."Another brief discourse:SurrenderanceHe who genuinely surrenders to a Perfect Master surrenders completely without asking for permission todo so. He does not even expect acceptance of his surrender from the Master. Complete surrender in itselfembodies the acceptance of one who has surrendered completely as he ought to have done.Baba interrupted to say: 'To ask me "How can I love you" is to insult love. How can I answer? What isyour answer, Harry?' Dr. Kenmore replied: 'Thanks for placing me in this predicament! One cannot be toldhow to love Baba, one must pretty much find it out for oneself. Such a question denies love on the part ofthe lover.'Baba continued: 'Had Jesus told Peter how to love him, Peter would not have denied him. I can tell youhow to obey me, but there is no answer to how to love me. Love me in the way you understand love.'I can tell you how to obey me: Do anything I tell you, even at the cost of life itself. And if you do obeyone hundred per cent, with all sincerity, at any cost, it will be greater than loving me. Obedience is greaterthan love. But who can obey me? Only one rare one can obey me, but I have that assurance from you all.Just do whatever I tell you to do. You have all put up your hands - we'll see.'Beloved God is in all.What is then the duty of the lover?The Lover and the Beloved
