AN INSULT TO OUR BELOVED GOD

Bal Natu

 
Baba looked tired when He arrived at Meherabad to be with the Western men on Wednesday. Still, He made loving inquiries about each one's health. When Will Backett said, "I am better today," Baba smiled and remarked, "Dear Will, I call you My Archangel, and you are very dear to Me; I love you too, but I cannot understand your saying every day, 'I am better today.'" Everyone had a hearty laugh.

Baba gave a brief discourse on false identification through the mind, and the reality of God. He concluded:

When you say "Self," "God," "Infinity," they mean nothing. To attempt to understand [God] by reading or hearing explanations is an insult to our Beloved God, Who is beyond all understanding. The only answer is Love."
