GOD IS INFINITE

 
Baba was staying at Ganeshkhind Gardens in Dadi Kerawala's quarters. Dadi was superintendent of the gardens.

Adjoining the Gardens was the Seventh Day Adventist Mission school, where students from all over the world studied religion and a regular curriculum of subjects. As Sam and the mandali were sitting with Baba in Dadi's quarters, two Indonesian youngsters from the mission approached, and Eruch spoke to them, 'What can I do for you?'

They were very polite and said that they had heard the living Buddha was there and they had come to visit Him. Eruch informed Baba, and He called them in, embraced them and told them to sit down.

As was usual in coming into Beloved Baba's presence, the youngsters seemed quickly at home, relaxed and comfortable. Baba asked them, 'Are you Christians?'

'Yes Baba.'

'Do you love Jesus?'

One of them replied emphatically, 'Oh, yes Baba!'

A little later Baba asked, 'Do you have any questions?'

'Yes Baba, please explain 'God is Infinite.'

Baba pointed to a large black ant crawling on the floor, and said, 'Can this ant ever comprehend a human being? Can its consciousness grasp the significance of the world of humans?'

'No Baba.'

Then Baba said, 'An even greater chasm divides your state of consciousness from My state of consciousness, so if I were to define for you the word 'infinite' you would not grasp it.'

That seemed at the time to be the end of the matter. A general conversation broke out, when suddenly Baba said to one of His close ones, 'Take down what I say — whatever is, is God.'

The conversation continued and again Baba gestured, 'Take down this — whatever is not, is God.'

After a short while Baba said, 'Take down this too — on the off chance that anything is left over, even that is God.'

Then He turned to the young men and said, 'This is the true definition of the word 'infinity', and this is My state from My beginningless beginning through to My endless end.'
