HIS UNLIMITED, UNBOUNDED, INFINITE TRIO-NATUREMeher Baba |
Although it appears as the most fantastic imagination, yet it is a fact that the very life of man is the veil that shrouds the reality of the eternal existence of God. It is the irony of divine fate that God gets lost in man to find Himself, and the instant that man gets lost in God, God realizes His Reality as Existence, eternal and infinite. In other words, infinite God becomes infinitely absorbed in His own infinitely perfect image intently seeking His infinity; and although God does gain full consciousness through it, He does not realize the reality of His own eternal, infinite existence in it. But, the instant the full consciousness thus gained ceases to identify God with the infinite reflection of His infinitely perfect image, this image vanishes from the consciousness of God, and God spontaneously and automatically and consciously realizes His own identity as God, the infinite Existence, and finds that He alone ever was, always is and eternally will remain the Only Reality.
Thus God in the man state, at first realizing
Himself as man, asserted His limited aspects through
the limited self or the limited ego, the limited mind,
the limited energy and the finite gross body. Then
eventually and ultimately realizing Himself as God, He
manifests His unlimited, unbounded, infinite trio-nature
of infinite knowledge, infinite power and
infinite bliss through His divine unlimited Self.
