Bhagavan said:
 
Inside me is One, and I know neither what that One is going to do, nor when. When I am in daitya (duality), then I am under Him, so I have to say He is holding me, but when I am in samadhi, there is no-one. I do not know what more He will do with me.
 
You also cannot leave me. It is like an electric charge that has transferred from me to you. You are not holding me, but I am holding you, so you cannot live without me.
 
Commentary by Koji:
 
A person is like a bucket of salt and sugar. A materialistic person contains much more salt than sugar, and a spiritual person has changed the majority of salt for sugar. Bhagavan is pure sugar with one grain of salt. The grain of salt is his psycho-physical organism. He has to keep this grain of salt, or else he cannot remain in the body. If he did not have this grain of salt, he would be omnipresent. Although this would be a grain purer still, it is better if he keeps that grain of salt so that he may remain in the body and sit with us to teach us. If he is omnipresent, he cannot speak to us and do that.

As there is one grain of salt in an incarnate God, when he is in the body, there is something higher. The Supreme knows absolutely everything, as it is the root of all creation, omnipresent, and therefore omniscient. The body is a projection of ignorance, and that ignorance keeps an incarnate God in his body. If Bhagavan knew everything that will happen, he would not have any reason to remain in the body. The Supreme has to keep this grain of ignorance in its incarnation so that it may continue to work. If there is nothing to find out, the universe no longer has any mystery, and there is no longer anything to do in it.

We think we do things through our own will. If I go to the shop and buy something, I think I am doing it because I decided to do it, but that is an error. My mind is only an extremely small part of the manifestation of the Intelligence that projects, directs and dissolves the entire universe, including our minds and bodies. Everything is interconnected and depends on the root of all the projection, which is called the omnipresent Bhagavan. We decide to do something because Bhagavan has decided that we should decide to do that. If we do not see the cause of everything that happens, we live in ignorance. We do not know what the Omniscient will decide to do with us.

The incarnate Bhagavan is the omnipresent Bhagavan in a body, with a grain of matter. If there is a vibration in the omnipresent Bhagavan, there is a vibration in the incarnate Bhagavan. If there appears a vibration in the mind of Bhagavan, there appears a vibration in the universe. Through noticing a strong vibration in his mind, Bhagavan has foreseen that various disasters would come to pass. A little after saying that something terrible would happen, a tsunami appeared for example.

One day when I was with Bhagavan in Birati, the news that everyone was hearing was that a boy had fallen into a twenty-metre-deep well in Kurukshetra, and they could not get him out. There were reports on this on the radio all the time. The boy was in danger for his life. Kurukshetra is where Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita, showed his form of God to Arjuna and both armies on the battlefield, and just afterwards took place the last battle of the Mahabharata War, the conclusion of Dwapara Yuga (the Bronze Age). Although the boy was a Muslim, and was in one of the most important Hindu tirthas, pilgrimage sites, the whole of Hindu India was praying that the boy may be saved. On television, they were showing people in different parts of India praying. “Truth is One; sages call It by various names,” is written in the Veda. He had been there for days already. During that time, Bhagavan felt himself affected by a strange vibration in his mind, so he could not relax properly. Swapon Kaku and Sudarsan called him from Lake Gardens to ask him to do something for the boy. Bhagavan prayed, and twenty minutes later, they got the boy out of the well. Bhagavan realised that that vibration was the result of the prayers of all those people praying for the sake of the boy. Our prayers do indeed have results.

If someone asks me if I can do a certain great work, I do not know. It depends on if Bhagavan wants me to do it. If someone asks me if breathe another breath, I do not know, as it is not I who decides if I may or not. I am completely in the hands of Bhagavan. I cannot live without Him.
