-
God’s nature is infinite, encompassing infinite power, knowledge, and bliss, which are latent in His state of nothingness. In contrast, human nature is limited, resulting in finite expressions of power, knowledge, and consciousness.
-
The concept of “nothing” being the opposite of “everything” is explored. While God is infinite and everything, the opposite of infinite is “most finite,” not just finite. This “most finite” state, or “nothing,” was latent within God, who is everything.
-
Adi K. IraniTwo currents emerge from the infinity of God: one individual and one universal. The individual current, originating from the most finite point, assumes an infinite aspect and, along with God’s trio nature, creates the universe. This process mirrors how a human being, identifying with their body, perceives the world around them.
-
The Om point, the most finite point, is the origin of both the universal and individual aspects of creation. The trio nature of God, encompassing all knowledge, power, and bliss, is expressed through this point, manifesting as the universe and individual beings. This projection of nothingness, upheld by the infinite trio nature of God, expands infinitely, encompassing both the universal and individual experiences.
-
The original cause of the universe, known as the “whim” or “lahar” of God, is described as God’s independent will to experience and enjoy His own infinity. This whim, or “word of words,” is not bound by time and can manifest at any moment, leading to a massive, transformative change in existence. Understanding this concept requires careful study and is not easily grasped by the human mind.
-
The “word of words” is explained as the whim of God, which infiltrates through the seven layers of consciousness to become the physical word. This concept is elaborated upon in Meher Baba’s statement on page 65 of “Stay with God.”

-
Adi discusses the concept of knowledge and ignorance, using the analogy of a baby and a car. It suggests that true knowledge comes from understanding the world as an illusion, rather than seeking intellectual knowledge.
