Baba says, “this most auspicious confluence age the most beautiful and benevolent age.”

This time is the confluence of the old iron-aged world and the new golden-aged world. It is at this time that God comes into this old world, every cycle, to establish the new world. He establishes the new world by purifying souls – when souls become pure, the world they live in automatically becomes pure. He purifies souls by adopting them as His own children through Brahma and teaching them Raja Yoga– the study through which the soul transforms from an impure, degraded iron-aged human into a pure, elevated golden-aged deity. God is always the Father of souls but only at this time does God become my Father, in a visible, practical way. Not just that He also becomes my Teacher and my Guru who guides me every step of the way. I, the soul, have all my relationships with God at this time, practically. I know Him as He is and experience Him in my life, practically. This happens only at this time in the whole cycle. Hence why this age is called the Diamond age.

I come to know about all my previous births at this time. God, the Father of I, the soul, reveals to me my whole story- the beginning, the middle and the end. I therefore become a knower of the past, the present and also the future; I become Trikaldarshi. And so while this Brahmin birth is a short birth, the attainment is unique and most lovely when compared to all other births. The meeting with God and my Godly birth are experienced in this small age. “It is the smallest age of all, but the attainment for the whole cycle is attained in the birth of this confluence age: alokik happiness, alokik peace and an elevated birth.“, explains Baba. I not only am born to God but I am born into His family, the Godly family. I was an orphan in Ravan’s world before; now, I have recognized my Father, Teacher, Guru as God Himself and have attained an elevated family. It is only at this time that there is this recognition. I also experience my alokik father, Father Brahma, at this time alone. I know God, I know Brahma, I know my brothers and sisters, I know the whole cycle- all only at this time. Once this time has passed, I will no longer have the knowledge and therefore won’t be able to use it to my benefit.

“Do not consider this gift of knowledge to be anything less. At the confluence age, God, Himself, has come in an ordinary form and is giving to you directly; this fortune is no less. This one birth of the confluence age is great.“, teaches Baba. “Those who attain this most elevated fortune of the confluence age are called great yogis“. And the life of the great yogis is victorious. “Check“, says Baba, “if you are living a victorious life befitting a great yogi.” To the extent I recognize and realize the significance of this time and my great fortune, to that extent, I will claim it. It is one thing to be the heir to the Almighty Authority and another to actually inherit all that is His and make it mine. The incarnation of God Himself happens at this time and I am enabled to attain the fortune of the whole cycle in this small age. His mere remembrance burns away all sins- past and present- and makes the soul brand new again. This age is indeed the most benevolent age. Even in the golden age, I will have deities as parents, I will sleep in their lap. Here, I have God as my Mother and Father, I sleep in God’s lap. He wakes me up in the morning saying “Sweet child” whereas in the golden age, I will be awakened by the music of birds. There I will swing in physical swings whereas here, I swing in the swings of the many attainments from God. This is indeed the most beautiful age.

The praise of the confluence age is that I attain during this time that which cannot be attained at any other time. “So“, teaches Baba, “understand the significance of this time and attain all attainments.“
