This, in the end, means that only God is real and all else is an illusion. We are all permanently lodged in this, our Beloved God. So we are all one.
Baba concluded by stating, "This is the first long discourse that I am giving in my Fiery Life, and you will not find this explanation given in any book, because the theme is very difficult to comprehend. But there are certain souls who need such explanations, which they gratefully receive to their advantage."
The singing program ended at 5:30 P.M.
Baba's endearing ways caused the Fire of Love to rage out of control in Tadepalligudem. Its flames made some weep, some smile, left some somber, some jocular and others silent. It had different reflections in different individuals: some sang, some danced, some remained actively preoccupied, and some were dazed. But though his divine love manifested in various ways, its intoxication was the same for all. Thousands felt as if they were drowned in the Ocean of Bliss, and for several days remained in that state of intoxication.
Even children on the road were absorbed in repeating "Namo Meher Baba, Avatar, Namo Dev Deva!" A full, accurate description of the frenzied scene is not possible for any pen. Only the language of the Ocean can describe it, and that language is wordless. Suffice it to say that Andhra was blessed by imbibing this heavenly nectar through fire.
On Wednesday, 21 January 1953, at 7:00 A.M., Baba and the group left by car and buses. The tears of Tadepalligudem serenaded his farewell. Baba reached Pentapadu after half an hour, where he was riotously received by about 5,000 people. I. Gangadharam and an acharya (Hindu priest) delivered welcome addresses, and a few songs were sung. Baba touched the prasad of bananas and guavas, saying that the workers there should distribute it among the people. At eight o'clock, after giving a message to the students gathered there, Baba headed for Pippara.
Dr. Rao, Kutumba Sastri, Mallikarjuna Rao and a few others had joined Baba in Tadepalligudem. At each place Kutumba Sastri translated Baba's messages into Telugu.
Baba arrived in Pippara at about 8:30 A.M., where a function was held at the board high school. Over 5,000 people were present, including the students.
After the message on "God bowing down to God" was read to the crowd, Baba stated:
I feel very happy to be among you all today.
