Wish I could quote the origin of this example, and wish I knew if it is true, where a soul trying to eliminate sanskaras in order to achieve God Realization is like trying to eliminate a huge pile of straw, one straw at a time, but each time one destroys a straw, at least one more sanskara is formed! Until the Perfect Master comes along and incinerates the entire pile in an instant!
During the initial years, Baba was in close contact with perfect masters of His time. Remember " Things that really matter are given and received in silence" and Baba might have "learnt" during this period. Let us not confuse this learning with our usual methods of learning !

I believe that the story of how Ravana chose the role of opposing Lord Ram was related by Sadguru Ramakrishna and is related in His biography.
I don’t think Baba ever studied the works of philosophy and literature that he frequently referred to. How did he know what was in them?
