1.1.2 devotional, 1.2.3 Ba'ba'

I will speak again on Devotion.

Devotional sentiment arises in an individual through some contact with the Supreme Entity, be it through inspirational reading, meditation, contact with a great personality or simple communion with the Devine Entity. In one way or another that Loving Entity communicates to His child and that child develops a love and a yearning for that most beautiful and dear Parama Purus'a. Like this, Devotion is kindled in the heart of a living being by the Supreme Entity.

Do you want Devotion? Do you want to feel the Grace of Parama Purus'a? Do you long to be immersed in His Loving Consciousness? Is it your desire? If you desire Him, if you cry for Him, what can He do? If you are content with His toys, with His multifaceted manifestations, then He will leave you to play with the gems of creation. But if you have grown tired of these illusions and you cry for Him, you long for Him in the core of your heart, then what is he to do ? He is not a hard-hearted fellow. He is a very loving Entity, a very compassionate Entity. He will not forsake you, He will not stay away. For each and everyone who cries for Him, He will come. He will lift them up and wipe their tears. He will take them to Him and embrace them with His undying Love.

He needs no credentials, no great resume of past glories, no proof of your worthiness. He sees your heart and your true motives, your true desires and He responds accordingly. So if you want Him, you will have to look into your own heart. You will have to go deep, very deep until you cannot find the line between yourself and your Lord. So that you are lost like a salt-doll in the ocean of His awareness.

Oh sadhaka, don't look to this world, don't look to external objects, don't try to build your own importance. Work for that Entity, live for that Entity, love all as your own-self and see Me all around. Your Ba'ba' has not left you, is it not? I am with those whose hearts are with me. I will not leave any who call for me with sincerity.

Physical form of Guru is gone, but Guru was never physical object. I
