When I tell you to eat heartily and have a bumper lunch, Pukar thinks that to obey Baba and to please him, he must eat as much as his stomach can contain! He has a very big tummy, so just imagine how much he must be eating!
Baba asked those who had not read his instructions to stand. Three men stood up, one of whom Baba was familiar with.
He asked him, "Aren't you related to Bhau?"
The man replied, "He is my brother-in-law." He was Rama's brother, Dhiraj Parmar, and he had been at Meherabad for a month helping with the sahavas arrangements.
Baba asked the next man, "What is Bhau to you?"
He answered, "He is my uncle. I am Virendra Kalchuri."
Turning to the third man, Baba joked, "Is Bhau your relative too?"
The man replied with a straight face, "A close relation. I am Tej Singh Rathor." He also was Bhau's brother-in-law.
Baba could barely suppress his laughter and cheerfully commented, "Look at these three close relatives of Bhau who have not read the instructions! Bhau has been assigned the duty of asking lovers to read the Directions as soon as they come, and he forgot to tell his own relatives."
The three men said in one voice, "He did tell us and we read every line except for the chart. We could not follow it."
Baba replied, "Who understands it? You three sit down."
Baba next asked those indisposed to stand. A few stood up and Baba observed:
For the Andhra lovers the climate here was not congenial, and being unaccustomed to it, many fell ill. But in spite of this, they were cheerful and derived the fullest advantage from the sahavas. They took medicine from Nilu. Those who prefer allopathic medicine should go to Nilu, and those who prefer homeopathy should approach Padri. Those who are ill in my love, I am their doctor!
Baba continued:
When the Gujarati group was here, I had explained the four points written on the board — about love, obedience, spreading of my love and the apparent bindings of those dependent upon me. The Telugu group was also told about it, but differently. I will repeat the same thing to you also. Age after age I say the same thing in different ways. Those who are illiterate, but who pay attention and listen carefully to what I say, will also understand it.
