Adele met Baba at 10:00 A.M. that morning. To her Baba said:
I know all you mean to say. I understand. Do not worry about any weaknesses which sometimes overpower you. Your love for me is so great it will wipe out your weaknesses. When the heart and mind are purified, one can see God. We can see him through purity, but above purity is love, which consumes all weaknesses.
So, if you love Baba as your Master, as your father, as your brother, don't worry about anything else. Purity, impurity all disappear when love is 100 percent there. So, don't worry. Baba knows you and loves you, and in spite of everything, Baba will never leave you. Remember. Is it clear?
"Yes, it's clear," Adele said.
"It is unbelievably clear!" stated Baba. "To me, you are like Mani."
Adele recounted later that she felt crestfallen, because she thought Baba had said she was like "money" — which had to mean something negative! But Baba was of course referring to his sister, Mani.
Although Darwin and Jeanne Shaw had met Baba in 1934 in New York, this was the first meeting for their two teenaged daughters, Renae, seventeen, and Leatrice, eighteen. The entire family (including Darwin's niece Dolores) drove to Myrtle Beach, where they met Baba at 10:00 A.M. on the 10th in the Lagoon Cabin. Baba was wearing white pajama pants and a maroon silk robe. He embraced each member of the family. The girls were weeping.
Baba said: "God in heaven is happy you are here. Do you have any idea how happy I feel to see you? I underwent many hardships during the last two years doing mast and poor work, sitting in seclusion, but today I feel so happy to see you dear ones, you who have worked so hard for the Center. Every inch of this place has Norina, Elizabeth and the Shaws' love in it. I saw your [Darwin's] mother and father [on the 6th].
"I have had no sleep for the last seven nights, yet I feel fresh because of the love of my dear ones, which makes me strong. God wants love — honest, pure love. So love is all that matters."
"We hope to serve you," Darwin said.
"I know, and you really do love. They [his children] also love me, because Baba loves you all. It is my love that makes you love me."
