Mahavatar Babaji is our true Self which is ever awakened, enlightened and complete !
Babaji can't be associated or linked to any sort of conditioning of physical world i.e. to any region, religion, guru lineage, country, culture, race or sex. In fact, He is the perfect blend of all energies, and its very hard for the ego to put him (or IT) in one box or the other. Because of this characteristic Babaji has guided humanity since the creation started. Babaji was when the creation started, he is very much present now as we talk and will be their till the end of this world cycle.
The Oneness of Babaji !
Babaji has revealed himself to this seeker in various forms, shapes and names. The oneness of Babaji is the oneness of our being. Oneness, which radiates all the colors of the creation, and yet is colorless its self. Every master, religion, path, technique comes from Babaji, it is Babaji and vanishes in the unmanifested Babaji.
Did Babaji exist prior to Autobiography of a Yogi?
Its just like asking if the Brahman ( the real Self ) existed prior to publishing of Autobiography of a Yogi. Yes, prior to publishing of the this great book by Sri Paramhansa Yoganandaji, Babaji was know to a selected few by different names. But after the book, we have given Babaji an uniformity so to say, in terms of his name and form. With this uniformity (of form and name ) Babaji appears initially to the seeker, but when the seeker is ready for deeper levels initiation, Babaji comes to him or her in different forms.
In fact many chapters of Autobiography of a Yogi are actually written by Mahavatar Babaji himself. Paramhansa Yoganandaji was so much attuned to Babaji, that Mataji choice Yoganandji to be the instrument of Babaji's message to the masses who are seeking fulfillment and end of misery. So, the next time you see a copy of the book, and see Yogannadaji's signature on it, know for certain that it is the signature of Babaji itself. Feel it .... deep with in your spine.
Many a times the seeker will not know at that moment that the glorious person (form) he is interacting with is Babaji. However, their are certain signs and hints which the great guru drops during such experiences. The intellectual memory of these subtle signs helps the ego to recognize the presence of the Great Master.
The real Self was, is and will always be. So is the beings in illusion ( they were, are and will be). As long as this cosmic drama will continue so long will Babaji and Mataji guide seekers to know who they really are.
