So I urge you to first establish a love-relationship between yourselves — then talk with others. If not, don't talk at all. Tell me now if you will love one another? If not, leave the Samiti. This is hard, practically impossible. You all love Baba, but your minds differ. How to bring about a meeting of the minds? For example, Dhanapathy thinks he has great influence in Andhra. He loves Baba, travels from place to place, obeys me. Mallikarjuna may say that this old man has no sense! "I mingle with big, influential people. I know how Baba's work should be done." Then Dhanapathy would say that this is not true. Manikyala Rao will say both are wrong! He is young and knows that, compared with these two old fogeys [Dhanapathy and Mallikarjuna], he is more capable of doing better work. Dhanapathy Rao will ask who will be responsible for money matters? Ranga Rao? No!
Take it that Dhanapathy asks Baba that Ranga Rao should not be put in charge of money matters, as his family goes hungry. There is likely to be confusion by putting him in charge. Thus your mind is apt to deceive you. Let go of your position. Love one another, and talk lovingly with each other; otherwise, I will do my own work. If you work on this basis, I will be pleased; but first try to create love among yourselves. If there are no differences, there is no work, but try to remove these differences with a clean heart. Suppose Dhanapathy tells you something, and outwardly you agree with it; but then you think that you had no opportunity to say what you really wanted to say. I would never approve of this kind of compromise.
Now, tell me if you are ready to work within these conditions. That is, first you have to create love among yourselves. Suppose Baba is going out for a year and [in his absence] you have to carry on the work in a loving atmosphere. Thereafter, I will see about it. But, for one year, without any dispute or strife, you have to work lovingly. Could you do it?
