Baba ji Explanation
"Falsehood has eaten my all my life so far. While the truth was standing right there, I remained in falsehood because that was so easy. That was so beautiful dreams because that was false. How unfortunate, oh my mother, that my life has been eaten by falsehood while my beloved was standing right there. Not only beside me, right in my own house."
