Wagh beseeched Baba for his help in loving him more, and Baba assured him, "I will not allow you to fail. Even if you fail me, I will not fail you. Remember this."
Baba again emphasized to Godavri to do as Maharaj had instructed her: "You should not in the least think you are responsible for what others do. Whatever you do, do with the understanding that it is not you but Maharaj who is doing it."
Baba distributed prasad, first to Godavri, then to all. Kirtans were being sung as he handed it to each. At 3:45 P.M., he embraced Yeshwant Rao, touched Godavri and Jiji on the head as a sign of affection and headed back for Ahmednagar.
Stopping his car at 4:10 P.M., Baba called the group of people to come out of the two buses that were following his car and gathered them around him. As he took the alphabet board from Eruch, most of the painted zero figure fell away. Reviewing what had happened at Sakori, Baba spelled on the board:
In my last meeting with Maharaj, he asked me to have my nazar on Godavri and Sakori. Maharaj asked me three times to break my silence. He then said, "You are Adi Shakti [the Primeval Power]. Keep your nazar on Godavri, Sakori and the other kanyas."
I feel happy that Godavri is a real woman. She is taken as a Sadguru, as chargeman of Upasni Maharaj. She knows she has not that Experience; yet, because Maharaj has instructed her, she is carrying on with the work honestly.
When Godavri met me in Ahmednagar, I said something privately to her in front of Adi Sr. which she accepted.
[Not to allow people to worship her and bow down to her, which Baba did not like.]
Now today, what did you see? All were saying Sadguru Godavri ki jai!
In spite of that, as soon as I reached the spot this morning, this woman garlanded me and bowed down to me. She made me sit on the swing which was used by Maharaj, swung it with her own hands and asked the other kanyas to do the same. And, she sang the song in accompaniment with the others, which they used to sing during Maharaj's time.
She served me food with her own hands, and while I was distributing prasad, you all must have marked how she was working with Yeshwant Rao. When I gave her prasad, she placed her head on my feet.
