Baba embraced each worker individually. Practically all wept at Baba's disappointment with them.
Baba reiterated what he had stated, advising Adarsh Khare, "Do your work with the feeling that you are doing it for me. You, your wife, your children all belong to Baba. You should have such a feeling because I know how much you love me and I also love you."1
The meeting had a profound effect on those workers, who gradually turned into pillars for Baba and his cause in Uttar Pradesh. In this manner, the spiritual suicide squad commenced — their egos were being slaughtered!
After the meeting, Baba visited a few of their homes.2 Soon after, public darshan began. Bhagwan Din, Keshav's maternal uncle, had made excellent arrangements for it, and all in Dhanauri had a dip in the holy Ocean of Baba's love.
At 12:40 P.M., Baba gave this message to the gathering:
I am now one of you. I am on your level. In whatever capacity and under whatever circumstances you are, I am in that too. I am small, big, poor, rich, literate, illiterate; but only those can know me in my real state who love me from whatever level they be on. So try to love me and make me yours, because already, automatically, you are mine.
I have to go now because people are said to be waiting for me at a number of places. I would otherwise have stayed longer and distributed the prasad personally. So take instead the prasad of my blessings for you all here.
At the end of the function, Baba left for the village of Chhani. On the way, he often had to stop because at some places people lined the road, waiting for a glimpse of him. Baba stopped at a junior high school in the village of Muskara at 1:50 P.M. to give darshan. There, too, he humbly sat on the floor instead of on the platform that had been arranged for his darshan program. After a teacher, Ram Gopal Dixit, welcomed him, Baba dictated this message to the crowd:
I feel very happy to be among you all. I feel every one of you to be mine and I want that every one of you should make me yours.
