“”You do not like Norina being so blunt. Love her all the more. She needs it. If she finds you weak in your wants, then she too must love you. You need it. If a mother found her child sick or weak, she would fondle it more, love it more. So, if anyone of you is weak, the rest of you should love that one more.
By weak I mean taken up with desires. Anger is weakness, pride is weakness, and so on. So all try. As Kaka says, "No discuss; just try!"
After a brief pause, Baba continued:
“”From today I want every one of you to sit silent and alone for five minutes and try to look within. This five minutes is not meditation, it is just a "looking within."
How to do this? Sit in a relaxed position — don't think of anything, not even of Baba. Close the eyes and mentally look within and imagine yourself as infinite. Let the idea that you are infinite remain for five minutes. How do you imagine yourself infinite? You can imagine the infinite as sky, ocean or vast emptiness. And let this one thought be in your mind — that you are infinite within.
Continue your one hour meditation as usual every day according to individual instructions. And when I am here, half an hour's silence with me in the evening. Also from today, this extra five minutes [of looking within]. It is very, very important for me to help you and to give you what I want to give.
That evening, Baba called all together to sit with him in silence outside on the lawn.
“”He spelled on the board, "Tomorrow," and then elaborated: "Tomorrow we will have silence in the evening, but under one condition that is very important — that you do not look around at one another, but only look at me and feel as if you are alone with me. You should do it naturally without strain. You must not feel conscious of your bodies. Let the head be the center of your body. When it is, then you forget your body and you can think of me."
Will Backett asked, "What should I do if I feel pressure in the head?"
“”Baba replied, "Relax, as if going to sleep. Close your eyes. If you can look at me in such a concentrated manner that you forget your body, it is best. If you do not close your eyes, look at me, but be so immersed in me that you forget your body.
