From Delhi had come Harjiwan Lal's son-in-law, Bishambar Gupta. There was an interesting episode about his marriage to Anguri. On the day of the wedding, Gupta's mother died. So, through a long-distance telephone call from Delhi, Anguri informed Baba, who instructed her to go ahead with the ceremony. After the mother's body was cremated, the marriage was performed with much pomp and pageantry.
Baba remarked to Gupta, "Anguri is very dear to me, very, very dear."
With Bal Kisan, Baba joked, "Had you not come, Kishan Singh would never have forgiven you."
Baba then asked him about his wife, Meher Kanta.
"She is all right by your blessing," he replied.
To Hellan, Baba inquired, "How is all in your family?"
Hellan meekly answered, "All are well, Baba."
Baba cracked in reply, "From his reply, it seems everything is not well! My friendship is always like that."
Quoting from Hafiz, Baba explained: "I destroy my friends and nourish my enemies. And no one dares come between me and my love and ask why it is so!"
He added, "He whom I love most will always be a wreck financially, as thereby he automatically gets clean. He gets so clean that, with my nazar, his ego goes and Baba comes!"
Baba asked Todi Singh about his pecuniary condition and was told about his monetary difficulties.
"Are you worrying?
[Todi Singh said yes.]
What is there to worry about? In eternity, nothing has happened, and nothing will ever happen. All that happens, happens now at this moment — and then it is nothing!"
Turning to Principal Niranjan Singh of Delhi, Baba stated, "You must try to grasp this. If God had no beginning, what was before Him? The answer is God!
"And what was before that? Only God!
"The answer is always God; but illusion has meaning due to time, cause and effect. When the zero is added after a one, the zero has value; and the value increases the more zeros you add. But, even if you put millions and billions of zeros before a one, those zeros have no value. Can you grasp it?"
Addressing G. S. Srivastava, a stout, rotund man from Allahabad, Baba teased, "He has many worries, but the beauty is that despite them he is growing bigger!"
