I have been seeing to their requirements with the money which has been coming and going in the spirit of love. I accept with love what is offered to me with love, and I also disburse it out of love. I neither obtain money through miracles nor am I connected with any moneymaking business. There are those who have offered what they can spare, and there are those who have dedicated their all to me and to my cause of love, unmindful of money for the sake of money.
According to the conditions laid down by Baba to his lovers and devotees in Life Circular No. 25 , Baba continued:
Under the existing conditions of no promises from me, no bindings upon me and no undertakings by me, my dependents must also be made to feel quite free of their material dependence upon me. Thus, they will be able to maintain a pure relationship of love for the sake of love.
I now wish to be outwardly what I always am inwardly: living solely in love, for love and with love. In that spirit, the whole world could live with me irrespective of whether or not there happened to be any provision for food and shelter for the "todays" as well as for the "tomorrows." As it is, I am free and no bindings touch me, but I should also be free of the need to bother about arrangements for others. I now want love to reign supreme outwardly, as it always does inwardly in me.
How can one explain love? There are as many ways of explaining love and obedience as there are men. There can thus be no end to the understanding of them except through obedience based on love, and through love itself. All great saints, teachers and Masters say the same thing in one way or another when the emphasis is laid on love for the sake of love, or failing that, on obedience in the cause of love.
For spontaneous surrender, the heart must, so to speak, be worn on one's sleeve. One must be ever ready to place one's neck under the ever-sharp knife of command of the Beloved, and the head should figuratively be detached in order that it might be completely surrendered at the Master's feet.
