So, don't bother about your thoughts, whether good or bad. Bear in mind that all thoughts are illusory. The only reality is to catch firm hold of the daaman.
Pukar made an ardent speech, and Baba appreciated it, dictating:
It is beyond doubt that the Avatar is the Avatar. In the case of the Avatar, God takes human form — rather, God "descends" in human form. The glory of the Sadguru is unfathomable. In his case, man has become God. When the Avatar descends, there are five Perfect Masters who sustain him. These five have always sustained me: Sai Baba, Upasni Maharaj, Babajan, Narayan Maharaj and Tajuddin Baba.
Sai Baba was Perfection personified, a very rare type even among Sadgurus. Babajan was after all the Shahenshah [Emperor] of Sadgurus.
So, there are five Perfect Masters who sustain me from eternity. In every age, when I come, they sustain me. Sai Baba made me what I am; Babajan made me feel what I am; Upasni Maharaj made me know what I am. And what I am, I am!
So, let us now bow down to these three Perfect Ones.
Baba then bowed to the photographs of the three Perfect Masters displayed on the verandah.
That morning, Baba also spoke about obedience:
Hafiz says: "Don't hanker after love and Union, but seek only the will of the Beloved."
Even the very gods are pleased with those who obey implicitly. To obey me, regarding me as a Sadguru or the Avatar, is not loving me, but loving one's own expectations. Those who obey me without expectation of reward really obey and love me. And those who obey me heartily and happily, and relish the very act of obeying, are fit and worthy of my doing their arti!
Concluding, Baba praised Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated in 1948: "There is only one man who led a life of 100 percent truthfulness and honesty, and that was Mahatma Gandhi. I took a promise from him when he met me on the steamer Rajputana that he should come to me after India attains independence. He kept his promise, and he has come to me."
