Late Night Chat with Jeff: How does Baba communicate with you? June 30, 2024, live on Baba Zoom

We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But once a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for conversation, more readings, songs, quotes - you never know what treasures will be uncovered!

Topic: How Does Baba Communicate with You?

Dear folks of Baba,

Most of us speak to Baba in the course of our day, but how do you find that He communicates with you? We know there are as many ways for Him to communicate as there are His lovers. There are subtle intuitions from Baba that guide us in the many complicated situations in our lives. There are sweet reminders that He is there enjoying our company, like seeing His image in a formation of clouds or hearing “Don’t Worry. Be Happy” on the radio when we desperately need help. There is His ready sense of humor in everyday situations that have His unmistakable signature. There are verbal and non-verbal flashes of insight that distill a complex aspect of our life into a miraculous simplicity. There is the feeling of His warm presence that suddenly shows up in an uncomfortable or scary situation. For some, there can be an internal green light that gives us the inspiration to go forward with a certain course of action.

How incredible that the God-man Himself, the Avatar, can be so personal and intimate with someone as ordinary as ourselves, while at the same time He is paying personal attention to billions of other people throughout the world! So many new people are drawn to Baba because they feel dissatisfied with following God as an external religious observance. They long for a communion with the Divine on a daily basis that is entirely personal. There is a longing in us to know how He feels with all that we do, and yet this requires developing a greater and keener receptivity and attunement to Him on our part. Just that there can be this communion with the God-man is so extraordinary!

What are some of the ways Baba communicates with you? They needn't be just profound insights, but can be even humorous and light-hearted communications that let you know that He is with you: that is, life-changing interventions as well as amusing and entertaining exchanges. Darwin used to encourage us to put no limits on how Baba makes Himself known in our lives. When we learn to let go of such things as unworthiness and low self-esteem, we begin to open up to His joyful intervention in our lives without our requiring to have attained some high spiritual state as a prerequisite. How can we improve our receptivity to picking up Baba’s communications with us?

Baba has said, “I am whatever you take me to be.” He can be so many things—companion, Beloved, sweetheart, inspirer, confessor, playmate, guide, therapist, intimate friend and much more.

A special thanks to one of you for suggesting this topic!

In His love, Jeff
