This news came to me. I told Adi Sr. to inform him that it was neither good for him, nor in his best interest. He did not listen or obey. It so happened that he got himself involved with a woman, and when she became pregnant by him, he gave up the show and came back. By then, he had become a leper. When he came back, I forgave him, embraced him and made him stay here. I then asked him to travel all over India on foot, begging for his food all the while. He did it. By the time he returned, he was cured. Vibhuti is still doing my work.
In India, if people find a man moving about with a beard and wearing a kafni, they worship him. So to bring about an assembly of people is easy, but there is no advantage. A few sincere ones can effectively do my work among people. Their love will make me appear great in people's eyes.
Baba concluded, "Let your own life be my message of love for others. Thereby, you will be expressing my greatness among people."
Baba asked all, except the members of the Andhra Samiti, to leave the hall. This committee had been formed to do Baba work in Andhra but, as usual, there were personal differences among some of them. Baba addressed them as follows:
On this occasion, I want you all to forget everything of the past. Open up your hearts fully today. Do not hide anything, and do not be afraid of anyone. Think of my greatness. Baba descends on an equal level. I have explained about my work in Rajahmundry, abrogated K.D.R.M. [the four stalwarts of Andhra: Kutumba Sastri, Dhanapathy, Ranga Rao, Mallikarjuna Rao] and advised against establishing centers. Every heart is a Baba center. Thereafter, you must have decided to open a central office for Baba work. It is natural for misunderstandings to have cropped up. At the time, I was in seclusion. Someone came to know of the misunderstandings, and when I came out of seclusion, I was told about it. Now, first I wish you all to forget your past differences. Do what I say.
I want you first to create love among yourselves. Apart from others, could you love one another? If you cannot love one another, you cannot create love for me among others. This is impossible. Suppose a long train has two engines and has to proceed to some distant place from here. The train will not reach its destination if the engines do not pull in unison. If one engine pulls in one direction and the other in the opposite direction, the train will not move.
