Nozar was truly a gem. As I said, he was financially helping his father and sister, and spending part of his earnings for my work. Now just imagine what a great thing it is not to feel for the loss of such a gem! This is love!
It is quite true that there is nothing like birth or death. Still, when your wife dies, you weep and lament and strike your head. Perhaps Kutumba Sastri would not do it!
Don't connect me with any miracles. Also never think that I will perform any miracles of the type of bringing the dead to life. But it will be Baba's real miracle if I deprive you of everything and still you go on loving me. Katta Subba Rao, hearing this, you should not worry. It is my way of explaining the truth. During the darshan program in Eluru, you kept us so comfortable and supplied our every want; I am satisfied with you and won't deprive you of anything! You should not worry, else you won't be able to sleep!
My elder brother Jamshed loved me dearly. All know it. He died taking my name. When I got the telegram about his death, I was playing cricket with the schoolboys of the Prem Ashram. I asked everyone to stay happy because Jamshed had come to me. I even distributed sweets. This happened in 1926.
Today is a lucky day for the Telugu group. On the 12th of every month a dhuni is lit, and today at six o'clock we will be present there. The human mind is full of infinite thoughts. This mind is finite, but its thoughts are infinite. So burn your desires and thoughts in the dhuni today. At least let one thought of either lust, greed or anger be burnt in it.
Nilu has been with me for so many years. He says he does not want God-realization or anything of the sort. He only wishes to be with Baba always. He is fond firstly of basundi , secondly of shira and thirdly of pithla [two sweets and a chickpea dish]. Let Nilu today burn one out of these three desires.
After lunch, the sahavas group again gathered in the hall at lower Meherabad at 1:30 P.M., and Baba continued. Eruch interpreted Baba's hand gestures in English, which Kutumba Sastri would simultaneously translate into Telugu.
