In July Baba will go, and on November 15 begins my Fiery Life. It is the climax of the Life, and it might end in a violent giving up of my physical body. I feel like that and I have to do this work.
God is all purity, all honesty and our love for Him should be so honest as not to brook any compromise at all. So whatever you do to help others, to give them happiness, you must not be conscious of having done so. Then you are safe, they are safe; you feel happy, they feel happy. This is very rare. The whole basis of the Gita and Vedanta is selfless service. Make others happy but do not seek reward, do not mind the result, never think of having helped them.
Baba met many others on the afternoon of the 11th. Agnes Bourne's name had been left out by mistake the previous day.
Baba consoled her, "Yesterday through misunderstanding you were missed. But you should not feel bad about it. My specially sending for you means my contact with you. You actually met me yesterday. They told me you felt very bad about it. Elinorina told me how you work for me, and I who observe silence, and we who express silence, know things that are not spoken."
Just then the rain stopped and the sun came out.
Baba quipped, "I think, when this dear soul is going to see Baba, God brought an end to the rain, saying, 'Let us clear the clouds and let the sunshine enter!' "
About Elizabeth he complimented, "Elizabeth is God's gift to Baba. I say that wholeheartedly."
Baba commented about Norina to Leonora Nichols at 4:00 P.M., "Norina is in Baba's heart. She cannot leave Baba. Baba cannot leave her."
The woman suffered from doubts.
Baba advised, "You love me even if sometimes you doubt it. When you feel doubts, tell yourself: 'Baba told me I love him genuinely and Baba loves me, so I must not doubt him. I will never doubt again!' "
In the Lagoon Cabin at 5:05 P.M., Baba met Michael and Ann Kohanow, a couple in their late thirties, and explained the three types of conviction to them.
He ended by stating, "The safest way to the Goal is to submit through love to One who has attained this end. Then all you have to do is to be guided by him to the Goal. This feeling of certainty is then not necessary.
