Then, once restored, it won't be shirked.
You will have it one day because of your preparation. Don't fear or worry. Remember, whether you think of me favorably or unfavorably, it is all the same to me. You are thinking of me either way. That is all I want. I see my own self in all, so how could I love the one who thinks favorably and hate the other who thinks unfavorably? All are equal in my eyes. So don't worry. Favorably or otherwise, just think of me.
"But, Baba, however much we try, other undesirable thoughts intrude."
Never mind. Let them come and go. At least do this much: For five minutes before retiring to bed, just try to think of me. Bring the image of my face before your eyes, and I will help you spiritually.
Baba left Bombay for Baroda on Monday, 29 February 1932. From there, he traveled to Navsari on the 1st of March. It was a surprise visit. The Desai family had been wired only half an hour in advance that Baba was coming, and all were hurriedly making the necessary preparations, cleaning the house, cooking food, preparing sleeping accommodations. It was a chaotic scene.
Sorabji Desai rushed to the station to meet Baba just as his train arrived. Four tongas were hired to convey them to Sorabji's residence. When they arrived, Baba was received with reverent love by the entire family, all of whom were devoted to him. Mansari and Kaikobad Dastur were also present.
Sorabji was exultant and fell at Baba's feet as he poured out his heart, "My life and my family's lives have found fulfillment today. Every particle of this house, every sapling in its garden is vibrant with joy. A change in the wind of fortune has brought new life to us. Master, there is nothing in the world except your grace! By the support of your feet, we have gained everything. Lord, keep us always at your feet! May we breathe our last with your holy name on our lips. This is my only prayer." Baba took Sorabji in his arms and tears flowed from the old man's eyes. The whole family was touched by the sight and each one's eyes were tearful as they gazed into the depths of their own heart.
Soon after they settled in, Baba asked Kaka to clip his fingernails for him.
