And he is so glad to see that you have proved true to the test, giving him great relief by your total surrenderance to his will and abiding by his instructions in all respects. And how he loves you all for this! How he continually remembers you and repeatedly speaks about you and your love to his mandali here!
Kimco of England and Jeanco of America have stayed in his heart permanently.
In a letter to Enid Corfe the same day, Chanji wrote:
You are now one of his dearest ones who are closest in his heart and ever in his thoughts through the love they have for him. And he is so glad you have grown so much with your love and become so near to him, in spite of all the defects of which you are so conscious, and that you have that open and honest heart to confess so plainly — a trait in human character he always loves best.
That is why he loves you so and lovingly asked, as one of his own, to give your share in the great work for the upliftment of humanity he has ever at heart. And he is glad you have so readily responded to his call for contribution.
If I venture to explain, dear Enid, let me tell you that love is the only thing that Baba always wants and values. But he also wants some 'sacrifice' made selflessly and out of pure love for the cause of humanity that Baba always has at heart, and which is his only great mission in life. That is why, with all the love that his best and sincerest lovers offer him, he demands that 'sacrifice' from each and every one that makes one entirely selfless and raises him or her to the heights of spiritual attainments and to the Kingdom Divine that is the goal of humanity. He has to risk grave misunderstandings and even 'doubts' from the best of his lovers for this.
For that love, which goes out in a selfless and benevolent spirit for the benefit of others more needy, is much more valuable than years of yoga or meditation in mountains or in seclusion, particularly so when this demand of sacrifice is made by a Perfect Master. Because a Master never demands such gifts from anyone except from those with whom he has deep, deep connections of the past, and whom he wishes to lift to special heights through this special grace, which is very rare and descends only on worthy ones.
You are one of these, hence so much of love and the demand for love. I hope you now understand.
