The lawyer Harichand Kochar used to recite a poem to Baba in Dehra Dun about God-realized Jivanmuktas.
Baba asked him to repeat it, saying, "If you do, all your worries will disappear."
Unfortunately, Kochar had lost the book while traveling in the train, and could not recite it by heart.
To N. P. Mishra of Delhi, Baba advised, "Remember me daily before going to sleep."
Baba admonished Todi Singh's son, Gajraj, "You should do some work [get a job]."
Gajraj promised to obey, at which Baba embraced him.
To another Delhi lover, Baba remarked, "Baba will soon depart, but I am everywhere. So, stay where you are and love me, and see me there as you now see me here."
Baba handed him a rose petal to eat.
Shiv Charan Singh of Batala had come to the meeting with his son, Air Force Commander Jasbir Singh. He asked, "Baba, please show me the way to control the mind."
"The best way for it is to remember me wholeheartedly four times a day — at 7:00 A.M., at noon, at 5:00 P.M. and before sleeping at night. If you stick to these timings, your mind will be so changed that you will even forget your mind!"
Then the Bombay and Poona groups were sent for. They were mostly old time lovers, such as Shinde, Madhusudan, Turekar and Vishnu Chavan, but there were also a few new ones.
When Gadekar was introducing K. K. Ramakrishnan, 29, who had seen Baba from a distance in Poona some months before, Baba interrupted, "What is there to introduce? I know him, and he knows me! I am God in human form, and austerities, penance and privations of births and births cannot attain me! I can only be found through love!"
Baba instructed Cowas Vesuna to love God. "I do love God," he said.
"Because I am saying it, you will be able to love Him," Baba spelled out.
Years later, Cowas realized the full meaning of Baba's statement. Love for God is a gift from Him. When once implanted by the Avatar, this love grows deeper and deeper until it consumes the lover. Fortunate are those who receive this grace from the Avatar.
One devotee wished for a message for his children.
Baba responded, "Love God honestly by speaking the truth, thinking the right thing and acting for the happiness of others."
To a newcomer who introduced himself, saying this was the first time he was seeing him, Baba stated, "My dear friend, I have been seeing you for ages. So don't worry if you are seeing me for the first time."
