Baba instructed the mandali to take darshan of Upasni Maharaj's samadhi, which they did. Noshir Siganporia stepped forward to garland Baba, and Baba directed him also to bow down at Maharaj's tomb. Bhajans were sung and, through hand gestures, Baba directed the tabalchi (tabla player) how to keep in rhythm. He would often remind Godavri to look after her health. On this cool day the room was cold, and she had not put on any warm clothing. Age marveled, "How wonderful it was to see 'mother' and 'son' sitting side by side conversing sweetly!"
Stopping the singing, Baba said:
Try to listen carefully to what I tell you now. Eruch understands my gestures very well. He has written God Speaks according to my dictation on the alphabet board. In the past, he was very strong and robust, but now he has grown weak. He does not sleep well, eats very little, does not go out for walks and does not have a good appetite. However, he works very hard for me.
My sister Mani also works very hard. She deals with all the correspondence from the West and remains busy in typing all day long. I have no soft corner in my heart for them both, rather for anyone. It is a fact that my heart is the Mahasagar [Ocean] of Love. And it is because of that love that I crush the body, mind and heart of my devotees into powder. Unless one turns into dust, resurrection to immortality is impossible.
My physical body, which you all see, is not what you should see, think and feel I am. I am in all and am everything. I am the Real One. I am the One in Eternal Bliss.
I love Godavri very much — immensely. This is all due to her past connections. She has many connections with me.
Pointing to Maharaj's photograph, Baba remarked, "That Old Man has brought me down. The highest type of worldly happiness, which you sometimes feel or experience, is nothing but the seventh shadow of that Eternal Bliss."
Turning to Madhav Rao Misal, Baba requested, "Sing a good song, as everyone is now feeling drowsy."
People laughed, and Madhav Rao launched into a song.
Baba picked a rose petal from his garland and gave it to Jiji's brother, gesturing for him to eat it. Jiji's brother told Baba, "Jiji is doing great spiritual work in Hyderabad. Even during her illness, she is feeding a number of poor every day, and loves Maharaj so much that she is always doing something in the area, out of her love for him."
