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!
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?
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 !
You speak of "winning grace", "earning grace" and "earning God realization". You are like all the other religions having to work and earn forgiveness and grace. Jesus gives it as a gift. It's free! You will become miserable, obsessively/compulsively trying to earn your way to God. You cannot do it, nobody can, not even Meher Baba who is not God nor an incarnation or consciousness of Jesus.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." --Ephesians 2:8
A "mast" is a person possessed of evil spirits. M. Baba took these masts to Cannes, France to transfer these evil spirits to other people. M. Baba also went Hollywood bringing evil spirits. He went to San Francisco from where the spiritually unclean hippie movement began later after the evil spirits M. Baba brought found new homes in the spiritually filthy.
