We reach the same conclusion: God was. And before God was? The same answer: God was. Now, in illusion you find yourself with a beginning. And where there is a beginning, there will be an end. So how can you, who are experiencing illusion, imagine that which has no beginning and no end? Yet, you as yourself, as a drop of your own Infinite Ocean, have no beginning and no end. You have this form. You take birth. You have a beginning as a drop; you grow, you die, you end. You begin and end in illusion. You, as bodies, have a beginning and end. As the Infinite Ocean — of which you are the drop as body — there is no beginning and no end.

Ned [Foote], you have a mind. Mind is in illusion. Mind tries to think of that which has no beginning and no end, but mind can't reach it because mind itself is illusion.

To experience your Real Self is the Goal. You are and you will ever be. There is no one else but you. Instantly, in a flash, you will know everything, including why you have no beginning and no end. But this knowing will have nothing whatsoever to do with mind, or reason, or logic. It is beyond mind. You know the answer to everything, you know that nothing has happened and nothing will ever happen. You then experience bliss; you become all-powerful, all-knowing.

Baba had this discourse on "Omnipresence" read:

There cannot be anything hidden from the one who is omnipresent. And as there cannot be anything hidden from such a one, he must be omniscient. He is all-knowing, knowing everything.

Thus it follows that he must be knowing how to do everything. He will say: "I know how to create everything. I know how to destroy everything. I know how to preserve everything. I know how to do everything."

Thus he who is omniscient is inevitably omnipotent. His being omnipresent made him omniscient, and this also made him omnipotent. In short, to be omnipresent is to be both omniscient and omnipotent simultaneously. All the three attributes of God are linked with one another, giving rise to the infinite bliss of God. One who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent cannot help but be in the infinitely blissful state.

Baba asked:

What happened yesterday? Nothing! What will happen tomorrow? Nothing! Everything happens now. This experience of everything happening at this very moment is dnyan — knowledge, wisdom.
