Baba proceeded to explain about the fourth, fifth and sixth planes.
In conclusion, he said:
When you remember me, you are in sahaj dhyan. The question is how to remember me. The easiest and surest way is to do as I tell you. It will be somewhat of a task at first, as when you start to run you feel it too much [sore muscles]; but when you are in training, you feel it sahaj [naturally]. At first, you will have to do it deliberately, then it will become natural.
There are four quarters of the day; there are four divisions in man's physical state: childhood, youth, maturity, old age. There are four quarters that Kabir calls the signposts. The first thing in the morning when you get up, before doing anything, think of Baba for one second. Baba is then worn by your soul: early in the morning dress your soul with Baba. At twelve noon, for one second do the same; do it again about five o'clock; when you retire do it also. I have never asked anyone to do this, not even the mandali. If you do it, I will be always with you, and you will feel my company all the time. Do it for four seconds every day, then you will be in the world, yet Baba will be with you all the time. This is the beginning of sahaj dhyan.
To sum up, we have to feel in our heart of hearts that only God is real, that He alone exists, that He is in us all, that He alone is to be loved: God and God alone.
Baba then stated:
From now on, there are to be no sittings at night for the young men [Le Page and Ballantyne], and no more morning meditations for anyone. On the 24th at twelve midnight, everyone is to keep awake and think of me for half an hour. Do this with all your hearts. All of you, or at least one of you, will see me: I am there. "Seeing me" means a picture of me a long way off. Keep my form before your mind's eye. The eyes may be open or shut, but keep me before your mind.
Baba then asked them to sit for one minute with their eyes closed, and to picture him after first looking at him. Afterwards, he asked what happened. Francis said, "It comes and goes."
