Eruch continued speaking as Baba gestured*:
Baba says when he goes out to contact masts in India, the God of Love meets the God-intoxicated. About seventy miles from Satara there is one mast called Dhondi Bua. Baba likes him very much. He is very healthy; he does not wear anything or want anything. Even if you want to give him something, he will not take it. Although he does not wear anything, he does not feel cold. In the winter, even while it is raining, he sits there in the same position as we find him in the summer. Baba has been there several times by day and night and found him always in the same position. Baba goes there and comforts him, kisses his feet and caresses him. He sits near him and the mast feels very delighted, very happy to be near Baba. He remains happy; he is like a child, but he knows that all this world is nothing but an illusion. He does not want anything.
It is our wants that bind us. We want something and so we get bound. When we truly do not want anything, we are like emperors. We are everything; therefore, we do not have to want anything.
