Sri Sri Babathakur tells, pointing to His mortal frame (body) that if this is Babathakur, then there is no need to come to such Babathakur. Babathakur is equally present in all as the absolute ‘ I ‘. This ‘ I ‘ is the ever present reality, the bhuma, the Self, which can never go out of existence. He points out that to experience the absence of the absolute ‘ I ‘ an experiencer is required. Now if the absolute ‘ I ‘ Itself goes out of existence then who will experience Its absence? Absolute ‘ I ‘ He says is the eternal existence, on which the world drama unfolds and folds back again through shakti. Shakti i.e. energy is inseparable from Consciousness i.e. ‘ I ‘ reality and vice versa. It is only this ‘ I ‘ on which with every passing second, He says countless creations pops up and gets dissolved in It again. This ‘ I ‘ is the background, the substratum of countless ‘ i ‘ the jeevas i.e. the creatures, the monads who owe their very existence to the absolute reality, the absolute ‘ I ‘.
