One of the workers said, "Only one, Baba! You are that one. Baba means God!"
To this Baba replied:
God means all-knowing, all-present. So I am in everyone and know everything. And it is my fault. Whose else's could it be? I know everything, I am everything, so there is no fault. If I am God, as you say, then it is no one's fault. If I am not God, there is no one in the whole universe except myself who is at fault.
Katta Subba Rao, I am now fed up with this [alphabet] board and the silence. I must break my silence before I drop the body. And, when I break my silence, you all who have come into my contact will have some glimpse of me. Some small, some big, some little, some a little more. When the main switch of an electric powerhouse is turned on, wherever there is a connection with the bulbs, there the light is on. If the bulb is small, you get a low candle power. If it is high, good light; and, if the bulb is fused, no light! That is why I said that I have performed no miracle; but when I break my silence, the first and the last of the greatest of all miracles will be performed.
Love me wholeheartedly; that is the only thing. Love me, love me, love, and you will find me.
Kala Venkata Rao, who was sitting near Baba during the course of the meeting, translated into Telugu every word that Baba stated in English through his alphabet board.
Then, for the second time, at 1:50 A.M., the Prayer of Repentance was recited. Thereafter, Baba's discourse "Existence is Substance and Life is Shadow" was read.
At its conclusion Baba stated, "From you in Andhra, I want nothing — no surrender, no obedience, no mind, no body, no possessions. I only want love!"
The meeting terminated at 2:30 A.M. It was at this time that Baba instructed Mauna Swami to stay at Kovvur for 40 days.
Again, calling the entire group together on the morning of Tuesday, 2 March 1954, Baba stated:
Summing up last night's proceedings, I want to make some points very clear. I have dissolved K.D.R.M., and, as I said last night, officially I will not be concerned with any of the Andhra Meher Centers. Even for books and all other literature on Baba I will not be responsible or have any concern.
