The mandali stayed at the Kanyaka Parmeshwari dharamshala, while Eruch, Chhagan, Sidhu and Meherjee remained with Baba. The group was to go to Guntur the next day. This time Dharmarao had made the best arrangements by hiring a car, a bus, a van and a jeep, and he drove Baba's car.
At 6:30 A.M. on Sunday, 21 February 1954, the mandali assembled before Baba at his residence.
"How did you sleep?" he asked them, and then commented, "If you sleep two minutes of my sleep, you would become God-realized!"
Baba informed Dhanapathy Rao, "On the 2nd [of March] I want all workers present, small and big, every one of them, because work must be done honestly or be stopped. I work since ages. I am the only one who works. But if you want to share my work, then it must be done honestly. No compromise, no competition, no ego-tickling lest it spoil the work.
"Wherever I go, people don't even know who I am. As soon as they hear my name, they flock to me, but they don't know anything about me. This morning [at 5:50 A.M.] I have dictated three messages. I know messages mean nothing since eternity. The only message is to make one like me!"
Baba concluded, "I am most slippery. You will never catch hold of me because, being divine, I am also very human. Only if you lose your will 100 percent in my will, will you know me; otherwise not ... In comparison to the real experience of Oneness, all other experiences are useless.
"Today I am happy," Baba said and then asked Eruch to read out the three messages that Baba had dictated.
The first message was:
Do not listen to the voice of the mind. Listen to the voice of the heart. Mind wavers; heart does not falter. Mind fears; heart is not daunted. Mind is the house of doubts, reasonings and theories; heart, when purified, becomes the dwelling of Beloved God. So get your heart rid of low desires, temptations and selfishness, and God will manifest in you as your own Self.
The second message was:
Be content with your lot, rich or poor, happy or miserable. Understand that God has designed it for your own good and be resigned to His Will.
You eternally were and always will be. You have had innumerable forms — man, woman, beautiful, ugly, strong, weak, healthy, sickly, powerful, helpless — and here you are again with another such form. Until you get spiritual freedom, you will be invested with many other forms. So why seek temporary relief which has in its wake more bindings?
Ask God not for money, fame, power, health or children, but seek His grace of love which would lead you to eternal bliss.
