"The easy method to stay in the awareness of the"

incorporeal form and to taste the sweetness of bliss.

Just as you constantly and easily have your corporeal form in your awareness, in the same way, do you constantly and easily have your incorporeal form in your awareness? Because of having a corporeal form, you are able to maintain that awareness naturally. In the same way, as you have your incorporeal form, do you easily remember that form as belonging to you? It is difficult to forget something when it belongs to you. With physical things too, when something belongs to you, you naturally remember that; you do not have to make effort to remember it. This too is your original and eternal form; so why is it difficult to remember it? After knowing it, it should easily remain in your awareness. You do know it now, do you not? Now, you should go into the depths of the practice of being an embodiment of this awareness.

Just as scientists go into the depths of everything and create new inventions , in the same way, you should go into the depths of your original form and its eternal virtues and sanskars. You speak of being an embodiment of bliss; so what is the stage of being that embodiment? What is the experience of that? What is the special attainment of being an embodiment of bliss? What is known as bliss? What is the visible effect of that stage on yourself and on other souls? In this way, go into the depths of each virtue. Just as those people go so deep to the bottom of the ocean and, the deeper they go, the more new things they find; so too, the more introverted and lost in yourself you remain, the more you will have many new experiences. You will feel yourself to be lost in those.

A fish, whilst living in the water, feels itself very much alive, because it has attachment to water. Even if it does come out of the water for its own livelihood, it will come out for a second and then go back in, because it cannot stay without water. In the same way, the deep concern of each of you should be with the ocean of various experiences of your original form. Only become extroverted for the sake of carrying out a task; take the support of the physical organs, that is, stabilise yourself in the stage of having adopted a body, but the attachment and attraction should be towards the ocean of experiences.

Physical things also give you the experience of their own taste, do they not? Everything gives an experience of its own virtue and attracts you towards itself. Just as sugar cubes give the experience of sweetness, in the same way, you should give the experience of the sweetness of your every virtue of your original form to all souls. Only then will souls be attracted. So, now, experience this and give others the same experience. Consider this to be your special task. Together with speaking about it, give the experience of every virtue. You will only be able to do that when you yourself are merged in this ocean. So, do you remain merged in this way? Through this, you will easily become an embodiment of remembrance.

How can we remember Baba? Instead of asking this question, you should have another question : How can we forget Baba? There should be this much transformation. At present, you have only had a little experience. You have only tasted it. When you become absorbed in it, you will feel that you have eaten it and have also put it into your practical form. Now, there is a need to experience a lot more. When you become lost in this experience, trivial matters will automatically move away from you, that is, they will bid you farewell. Achcha.
