Why is God called the "Beloved?" Because we reach Him through love. When you reach Him through non-violence, you call Him infinite non-violence. The Dnyanis [advanced souls] call Him "Infinite Chaitanya [Consciousness]." Those who follow raja yoga call him Prabhu — the Maker and Creator of everything. Thus God is named after the path through which one attains and realizes Him.
Commenting about lust and celibacy, Baba stated:
If one is lustful, he has a tendency to fasten his lust upon several persons of the opposite sex. The ideal of brahmacharya [celibacy] does not allow even the touch of the person of the opposite sex. Now if the Master, who is entirely free from lust, wants to help a strongly lustful person, he knows that the aspirant is incapable of brahmacharya. Therefore, he allows him to legally marry, but he asks him to limit his lust only to one woman. Then gradually, as lust diminishes, he may be asked to give up all acts of lust, even with his wedded wife, although he can maintain and continue the married life. In this manner, lust is gradually eliminated and the goal of brahmacharya is finally obtained.
While discussing a telegram from Adi Sr. in Bangalore, which outlined certain difficulties there, Baba stated:
Although as a Master, I have to and do shoulder all responsibilities of the mandali who depend upon me and have left all to me, at the same time, under certain conditions, I want the mandali to participate in this responsibility by suggesting ideas and plans whenever I ask for them. Although the entire responsibility always rests on me, this suggestion by the mandali whenever asked, lessens my burden to some extent.
Although everything comes to the same definite purpose, as already chalked out, one way or the other, the details and methods differ. For example, if I tell you to go to the station to receive someone at a particular time, whether you go by car, tonga, bus, or on foot is left to your discretion. The object is to reach there at the stipulated time.
Baba called Adi Sr. and Ghani from Bangalore to Dehra Dun, and sent them also to Delhi to contact certain political leaders.
On 11 April, Baba wrote to Deshmukh, directing him to meet Gandhi again, and try to explain Baba's viewpoint properly.
