Last evening, all of a sudden I dictated something new to Eruch. Try to listen attentively. Those who feel drowsy and feel like dozing should go out and sit on the benches there. Those who are alert and want to be near me should remain here and listen attentively.
Baba asked those who could not sleep the previous night to stand, and several rose. Some could not sleep due to colds and cough. Hiralal could not sleep because of eczema. Baba advised him to take treatment from Padri and to keep himself at a distance from Baba and the other men, since the disease was contagious.
Baba asked Nilu to give medicine to certain other men, and remarked, "I thought there may be at least one who could not sleep in thought of me, but I find that there is no one with that complaint! Some could not sleep because of a cold and some due to being unwell. But there was not one of you who had no sleep from thinking about me! What luck I have!"
Explaining about love Baba stated:
However much I may explain to you about love, it will not be fully understood. You cannot understand it through reading or hearing about it. Yet, I will tell you. Every time you say "Baba, give us your love," I say love me more and more. I will try to clear up what love is.
According to Hafiz, there is as much difference between the earth and sky as between love and intelligence. Love cannot be understood through the intellect. Love is obtained through uprooting the intellect, and to do so you have to wear your heart on your sleeve. One may be very intelligent, another be absolutely nil. Both can love God if they wear their hearts on their sleeves. This explanation was not given to the Gujarati and Telugu groups.
Suppose Niranjan Singh is very intellectual and Adarsh [Khare] is not. But if both have their hearts on their sleeves, they can love God. Let one be literate and another illiterate — both can love God equally.
Remember one thing: However much I may explain to you about spirituality, love and God, you will never be able to experience what I say. Intellectually you will grasp it.
