TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

 
On Wednesday, February 17th, 1932, Meher Baba's thirty-eighth birthday was celebrated, but quietly with a simple program of bhajan, kirtan, arti and the distribution of prasad by Baba.

While conversing with his close disciples, Baba suddenly asked one of them, "What are you thinking?"

"You know, Baba," the man replied.

Baba responded, nodding, "Yes," then spelled out:

Yes, I do; but I have come down on your level to be among you. I know everything. I know what you are thinking and what hardships you have undergone. But by my asking you to say it out loud, you will get relief and be benefitted. For that reason, I ordered you to speak, which is very good for you. Even if you don't reply and remain quiet, I know; but by your speaking out, it is always for your own good and to your advantage.

My universal mind is the central station to which every individual mind is linked. So, wherever a person may be, I know what he is thinking and doing every moment. At every moment I know the thought of every person and the thoughts of the whole world simultaneously. Not only this, but I also know what you will think tomorrow or after a thousand years, and also know what you thought thousands of years before.

This is knowledge — infinite and indivisible — and it is beyond your imagination.
