Your duty is to keep me constantly with you throughout your thoughts, speech and actions. They do their duty who, sincere in their faith and love, surrender to me — guided by the implicit belief in my divinity as Baba.
They, too, do their duty who speak ill of me and condemn me through their writings, urged by their genuine conviction that Baba is a fraud.
But, they are hypocrites who, not knowing their own minds, are constantly doubting. They are at times, through false emotions, inclined to believe in me; and, at other times, to indulge in slanderous gossip against me. No amount of slander can ever affect or change me; nor any amount of admiration and praise enhance or glorify my divinity.
Baba added, "Baba is what he is . I was Baba, I am Baba, and shall forever more remain Baba. My blessings to you all.
Later in a telegram he stated: "The Lord of Love is the slave of his lovers and devoted to his devotees. This is my message to the world on behalf of the Andhra Meher Center of Kovvur."
Meanwhile, Was Deo Kain invited Baba to Delhi to see an unusual cricket match between the members of Parliament and the Prime Minister's team. On Wednesday, 18 November 1953, Baba went from Dehra Dun accompanied by Eruch, Pendu, Nilu, Kishan Singh, Kumar and Hellan to watch the match. Meherjee and Nariman had also been called from Bombay to see it. On the way to Delhi, Baba stopped and visited Minoo Desai in Meerut. In Delhi, they stayed at Kain's house, 16 President Estate.
When Baba and the mandali went to the National Stadium to watch the cricket match the following day, Baba wore a black felt hat and sunglasses so that no one would recognize him. The mandali would also surround him so that no one would see him too clearly. But despite this, spectators gazed at him throughout the game. The Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, saw Baba from a distance and continued to look at him now and then while conversing with his associates.
"The stadium was full," Meherjee recalled. "Ministers, parliamentarians, the President and Prime Minister of India were playing; members of the diplomatic core, business people, all types of humanity were there. Baba's purpose was to contact all these people.
"In Bombay, in particular, when foreign teams like the West Indies, the English or Australian teams were playing, the stadium was always fully crowded for test matches. Baba used to sit in the galleries with the thousands of people there. Sometimes, Baba used to go to see the test match incognito, in a suit, wearing a hat. Still some people would recognize him.
