Keshav had been working strenuously to make Baba's name and message known in all villages of the district prior to his arrival, and people were eager to have his darshan.
Raghuraj Singh and his family were meeting Baba for the first time. Although he was descended from a royal family, he was leading a simple life. Inwardly, too, he was a simple, guileless man, despite his high social status. He had deep love for Meher Baba and thereafter proved to be a great help in the Avatar's cause.
After Baba and the group had rested for a few hours, darshan started early that morning, with Baba handing prasad to hundreds. At 6:00 A.M., this message "The Language of the Heart" was delivered to the crowd at Orai:
God does not listen to the language of the tongue or of the mind, but He responds to the language of the heart. The language of the heart is the song of love for the Beloved.
When the heart weeps for the Beloved's union and the mind suffers the pangs of separation, then the Beloved's response is the final embrace into Oneness.
This means to love God one has to keep Him present and never be absent from Him. This means while doing all duties, doing all deeds, while thinking all thoughts and speaking all words, we have always to have His remembrance, remembering Him as the background to everyone and everything. This means in every little thing, good or bad both, we should remember Him and then all responsibility rests with Him.
Baba was to leave Orai that morning for the village of Ichhuara, fifteen miles away. No car, bus or truck had ever ventured to this remote place, because there was only a narrow dirt road leading to it. The road was bisected by the Betwa River and, being unpaved, it had become even more impassable due to recent rain. Nevertheless, the local lovers were determined that the Lord of Creation should visit them in some degree of comfort. And so for weeks before his arrival, they toiled earnestly to widen eight miles of road, fill in the pits with earth and smooth its rough patches so that Baba's car could travel over it. Baba's heart was full at the expression of their love, and because of that he set out for their village.
Keshav, however, had failed to arrange for a car, and so Baba and the men had to proceed to Ichhuara in a bus. After crossing a bridge, seven miles from Orai, the bus took a turn to the left to go by the canal road and its left wheel hit something and came to a sudden stop.
