In short, that which you cannot imagine is Dnyan, which even the rishis and munis cannot imagine. When one fails to grasp the Divine Swayambhu Knowledge, how can one grasp the One who has that Knowledge? But when you come in contact with a Dnyani [possessor of the Knowledge] who starts explaining it, it means that you are on the way towards Dnyan. Knowledge cannot be imagined; then what of the Dnyani? When Vidnyanavestha [Divine Knowledge] cannot be imagined by the rishis, then what can they imagine about the state of a Dnyani?

Walis [saints] can give the shadow of that Knowledge, either by touch, gaze or by placing their hand on the head of anyone they like. Why do they place their hand on the head? Because it is the seat of Knowledge. So if walis, through their tawajjuh [spiritual power or force], place their hands on the heads of any persons, they receive the shadow [of the Knowledge]. Even in that case, bodily consciousness is lost. But this is not Dnyan. In the Dnyaneshwari, it is written that this Dnyan cannot be gotten except through the intervention of a Sadguru.

Then this is all about Dnyan. As for myself, I think love for God is the best avenue to Real Knowledge, for God alone is worth loving.

After completing the discourse in the morning, Baba concluded with the following remarks:

Dnyan always comes unawares. God is so kind that it is impossible to imagine His unbounded kindness! Some think they have suffered a lot, and still God is not showering His grace on them. But the fact is that the necessary preparedness is lacking. Hafiz said:

One tip of a strand of hair is in my hand, the other in the hand of the Friend.

Our tug of war has been going on for years.

But when the appointed time comes, and the necessary preparedness is there, then Dnyan comes, irrespective of what the individual is doing at that moment.

Before leaving for lunch, Baba mentioned that he would grant individual interviews to each man the next day, and added: "I will do this for my own work, and not for giving a hearing to individuals' 'crying and weeping' over personal difficulties. They are there, no doubt, but it is equally true that they have been there, more or less, all the time. The fact is that when one dies, one has to leave everything there and then, done or undone, important or unimportant. What a joke!"
