To know what Baba wants, one should strive to love and serve Him, embodying His teachings in daily life. This involves spreading harmony, helping others, and living in a way that inspires others to seek spiritual growth. By following Baba’s guidelines and avoiding actions that displease Him, one can align their life with His will and experience true spiritual awakening. Impressions, whether good or bad, bind our consciousness. To free ourselves, we should imbibe the impressions of the impressionless, such as perfect masters or the Avatar, by remembering them and repeating God’s name. This practice will uproot our binding impressions and lead us towards perfection.

Baba explained that Peter, a dog, and Mastan, a ferocious dog, were blessed to be with Him, as their association would lead to them being reborn as humans in their next lives. Peter, we can imagine in a future life, as a Western teenager, felt a strong pull to explore Africa, where he encountered Mastan, now a recluse, in a hut. Despite the language barrier, their connection was reestablished, prompting Peter to return with a translator to understand the significance of their reunion. Peter, a man who had a past life as a dog, is drawn back to the dense forest in Africa where he encountered a human being. He eventually returns to live with this man, who is revealed to be a perfect master. The story highlights the importance of connections and the potential for future lives to be linked through shared experiences and love for a common figure, in this case, Baba.
