“An avatar lives in the omnipresent Spirit; for Him, there is no distance inverse to the square. Only one reason, therefore, can motivate Babaji in maintaining His physical form from century to century: the desire to furnish humanity with a concrete example of its own possibilities. Were man never vouchsafed a glimpse of Divinity in the flesh, he would remain oppressed by the heavy mayic [maya influenced] delusion that he cannot transcend his mortality. Jesus knew from the beginning the sequence of His life; He passed through each event not for Himself, not from any karmic compulsion, but solely for the upliftment of reflective human beings. His four reporter-disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, recorded the ineffable drama for the benefit of later generations. For Babaji, also, there is no relativity of past, present, future; from the beginning, He has known all phases of His life. Yet, accommodating Himself to the limited understanding of men, He has played many acts of His Divine life in the presence of one or more witnesses. Thus, it came about that a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya was present when Babaji deemed the time to be ripe for Him to proclaim the possibility of bodily immortality. He uttered this promise before Ram Gopal Muzumdar, that it might finally become known for the inspiration of other seeking hearts. The great ones speak their words and participate in the seemingly natural course of events, solely for the good of man, even as Christ said: ‘Father... I knew that Thou hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou have sent me.’ During my visit at Ranbajpur with Ram Gopal, ‘the sleepless saint,’ he related the wondrous story of his first meeting with Babaji. […] Before I had recovered from my bewilderment, I was further wonderstruck to behold a circling mass of mystical light traveling in the sky. Descending swiftly, the flaming whirlpool neared our group and materialized itself into the body of a beautiful youth who, I understood at once, was Babaji. He looked like Lahiri Mahasaya, the only difference being that Babaji appeared much younger and had long, bright hair. Lahiri Mahasaya, Mataji, and myself knelt at the Guru’s feet. An ethereal sensation of beatific glory thrilled every fiber of my being as I touched His Divine flesh. […]”
