"The superior devotee says:'It is God Himself who has become everything; whatever I see is only a form of God. It is He Himself who has become maya, the Universe, and all living beings. Nothing else exists but God."

 Vaishnava:"Does anyone ever attain that state ?"

Master:"One cannot attain it unless one has seen God. But there are signs that a man has had the vision of God. A man who has seen God sometimes behaves like a madman; he laughs, weeps, dances, and sings. Sometimes he behaves like a child; guileless, generous, without vanity, unattached to anything, not under the control of any of the gunas, always blissful. Sometimes he behaves like a ghoul; he doesn't discriminate between things pure and things impure. And sometimes he is like an inert thing, staring vacantly;he cannot do any work, he cannot strive for anything."

     Was the Master making veiled reference to his own states of mind?
