Fred Frey said, "I am up in the clouds. Baba is what I had expected, and I feel warmed inwardly by Baba's people. It would make me most happy if I could carry Baba's love to America."
Will Backett said, "My heart has echoed everything that has already been said, and of course, I am blissfully happy to be with Baba."
After having questioned each man, Baba last asked Max, "Max, do you like me?"
Max replied, "I don't understand anything about you. Sometimes I do, sometimes not; but I like your people — Sarosh, Meherjee, Nilu. Just now you are being quite natural."
Baba remarked, "So, you don't like me sometimes; but I love you all the time."
Addressing the group, Baba commented about Haefliger, "Max is honest. Honesty is most important on the spiritual path."
Charles Purdom asked to be enlightened further about the types of conviction, and about what Jesus meant when he said, "Only the pure in heart can see God."
Baba replied, "I will explain it tomorrow."
Baba continued on other subjects:
Because of my not losing my sense of humor, I appear to you like this, on your level. In India, you will always find yogis and saints with long beards. You would not be allowed in their presence with shoes on or smoking. But with me, you can do all these things because I am one with you and one of you. From tomorrow, I shall work so that this visit of yours will not merely be a picnic or sightseeing trek.
There are three types of lovers of God. The first is the mast who loves and knows only God. He loses all consciousness of self, of body and the world. Whether it rains or shines, whether it is winter or summer, it is all the same to him. Only God exists for him; he is dead to himself.
The second type of lover is the one who lives in the world, attends to all worldly duties fully, and yet all the time in his heart he knows that this is temporary, that only God exists; and he loves God internally without anyone knowing it.
The third type, which is the highest, is very rare. Here, the lover surrenders completely to Christ, the Avatar, the God-Man. He lives, not for himself, but for the Master. This is the highest type of lover. Unless you have such love, merely to criticize and judge others will take you nowhere.
