On the
last day of a spiritual retreat, Baba addressed a small group of devotees.
“We are not humans striving to have divine
experiences, in fact we are all divine having these temporary human
experiences. We are the Truth, we are the Sat-Chit-Shant Anand swarup pure
Aatma (we are the eternal-Conscious-Peaceful-Blissful pure soul). This little
change in your thought process will lead you a long way in your spiritual
pursuit. Most of the seekers pursue their spiritual journey with an
understanding that we are human and we need to strive to have divine experiences
or divine blessings from God. This is body-consciousness. When you reverse this
thought process and pursue the spiritual goal with an understanding that you
are a divine soul and you have just worn this body temporarily to have some
human experiences, then you begin to live in soul consciousness,”
