Beloved Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai!
At about 2:30 a.m. today, I got up from my bed, and then went to the bathroom.
When I came back, I could not sleep.
I was telling Baba,
"Please let me sleep."
Immediately, I found that
He was knocking at my heart.
He said,
_
"O ignorant one! You want to sleep?
How long will you sleep the sleep of ignorance?
The Divine Sun shines continuously,
yet you live in the house of ignorance,
which has thirteen houses within itself.
_
Each house has a separate door.
This is the reason you cannot see the glory of the
Divine Sun.
It shines continuously, without a break.
But how can you see it,
unless you open the door of each house and come out?
Only then can you see the light of the Divine Sun.
Once you see this light, you will have longing,
like a fish has when she is out of water.
You will long and long to become one with the Sun.
"You have already crossed or opened the first six doors,
and you are at the seventh door.
"When you come to the seventh door,
you get full gross consciousness,
but this is only the seventh reflection of the Divine Sun.
_
When you are in the stone form or kingdom,
you have passed through seven doors (the planes) of evolution unconsciously,
and now you are at the first door of involution.
Evolution of consciousness has begun,
and from the eighth door, the involution of consciousness starts.
Now you see the darkness of the seventh door.
The sun which you see is the seventh reflection of the
Divine Sun.
Though it is darkness, you think that it is light.
But it is not light. It is the darkness of ignorance.
"When I come down on earth,
My work is to cut a kerf* on the seventh door.
When this is done, I drop My physical body.
I cut that kerf, but a piece still remains there.
"There are some who are very near the kerf.
Still, they can't see the light
because a piece of the kerf has not been removed.
But they are attracted towards the light.
_
There are others at a great distance from that kerf.
They look to the other side, towards darkness,
and darkness also appears to them as light --
as in the gross world, there is night and day.
They just go fast towards darkness.
_
When My Universal Manifestation takes place,
the piece of the seventh door will fall down.
_
There will be a total turnabout towards the Sun,
and they will see the light,
which will be from the Subtle World.
"Still,
one has to pass through six more doors
to reach the seventh door
(or in this case, 'seventh' means 'fourteenth').
_
Already you have passed through seven doors;
six more doors you have to pass through.
These doors are in the inner world --
the Subtle World and Mental World.
[Bhau’s note: seven for evolution and seven for involution.]
"There are four doors in the Subtle World,
and two doors in the mental world.
So when that piece of the kerf comes out,
humanity will see the darkness of the Subtle World, in the form of light,
which is also darkness. But it is a finer darkness.
This light will become very, very bright --
because it is the light of energy, which is in the Subtle World.
"When My Universal Manifestation takes place,
people will see the light of the subtle world,
though it is still a finer darkness.
_
Just imagine, what will be the effect?
The effect will be a total about-turn towards this light.
So humanity -- which goes towards darkness,
and has no attraction towards finer darkness, or light --
will be attracted towards finer darkness, or light.
It shows that the attraction towards the darkness of the material world
will be lessened.
The awareness of this light from the Subtle World
will be more.
Attachment towards the darkness of the material world
will be lessened to a great extent.
"Because of this,
there will be peace.
People will not go about fulfilling their low desires.
They will be less and less attracted to these desires
and more and more attracted to this light,
which they will see when the piece from the seventh door
falls down.
"Those who are near the door, where the kerf is cut,
will have a longing to open that door and enter into the Subtle World.
Their longing will go on increasing,
and they will pass through one door after another --
four doors of the Subtle World,
and enter into the Mental World, which has two planes.
When they enter into the second plane of the Mental World,
they will have the longing for the union with God.
_
This longing will be like that of a fish out of water.
Then, one day, they will become
one with the Divine Sun.
"Do you realize how difficult it is for Me
to cut a kerf in the seventh door?
Because it is My duty, I come down on earth for that purpose.
When I do this work,
all seven kingdoms of evolution of consciousness are affected by My work.
"What is My universal push?
"My universal push
is to give a push to the piece of the kerf in the seventh door,
so that it may fall down, and there will be an about-turn
towards the light by all kingdoms of consciousness.
"Now, you understand what my
Universal Manifestation
is.
But it is not a matter of understanding.
One has to experience it.
"I take My circle members blindfolded,
so they don't know anything that happens in the inner path
of the Subtle World and the Mental World.
When they reach the seventh plane,
that means they pass through the six inner doors,
and reach the seventh.
Then can they not only see,
but they become one with the
Divine Sun.
"Whatever you see in the Gross World
is nothing but the darkness of ignorance,
even the sun which you see,
the sun which gives you light.
This light is nothing but the seventh reflection of the
Divine Sun.
Therefore, this is the seventh reflection
of the darkness of ignorance.
"This is Illusion.
You always want to know, what is Illusion?
Illusion is that which makes you think of darkness as light.
"How to get out of this Illusion?
You need not get out of it, because it is the shadow of ignorance.
You have to know that it is a shadow of ignorance.
When you experience and know this, then
you are not affected by that shadow of ignorance.
"I told you about this when I was dictating the book,
THE NOTHING AND THE EVERYTHING,
to you.
_
At that time, I had given you some points.
Today, I am making it clear to you in
order to understand it.
_
But know well, even if you understand,
you will not experience it.
In order to experience it,
My Grace is required.
And I will give that Grace.
_
It is My work,
and for that purpose I have come down.
I prepare you all, so that you may become worthy of that Grace.
"You are all very fortunate
that you have received the opportunity to become
My
Mandali.
You think that you have no experiences.
How can you have any experiences
when you are blindfolded?
I don't want you to have any experiences,
because the real experience is to unite with God.
All experiences have no value, even when you are in the planes.
That also is the experience of Illusion, though it is a finer illusion.
_
So I keep
my
Mandali members
away from this illusory experience.
_
I give them
Real experience.
"No one should even long for finer illusory experiences.
You will remain absorbed in those experiences
and cannot proceed further unless
a
Perfect Master
or the
Avatar
gives you a push.
This is the reason I keep you all blindfolded."

* Bhau said he had heard this word, , "kerf," from Baba.
We thought he had said "curve," and he gestured against the wall,
as if outlining a circle with his finger.
He called for a dictionary, saying that it wasn't "curve."
We were looking under "c" and didn't find it.
He said just to use "circle."
But just then Glenn Magrini walked into the office,
and he knew the word "kerf" from carpentry!
The word was not found in that dictionary,
but Bhau called for two more dictionaries,
and the third listed "kerf," with a definition
which clarified the image beautifully -- "a wedge-shaped notch made with an axe in the side of a tree, so that the tree will fall."
Bhau kept indicating that it was like a circle that was cut,
but the piece remained --
until the push came.
He had said at first to use the word "circle,"
and then we found the definition.
