Baba then addressed all those present in the room: "Among all the women in the world, Godavri's heart is [one of] the purest and I love her very much — much, much more than she could ever love me!"
Coming out of the room, Baba went and sat under a tree. Meanwhile, a woman devotee of Swami Sivananda, named Satchitananda Mata of Ceylon, arrived at Sakori. In the name of Swami Sivananda, she was conducting the Divine Life Society in the area, and had come to Sakori seeking a personal interview with Baba. Accompanied by Eruch, Baba took Mata to a secluded spot and gave her a private interview for a few minutes.
Afterward, Baba came back and sat under the tree again. He asked for a rubber ball. One was immediately brought, and he told the kanyas and others to try to catch it. In a playful mood, he began throwing it here and there for some time, which provided much delight to the kanyas and devotees. Baba then sent them away for their lunch and he went to Yeshwant Rao's, where several people were waiting for his darshan. When Baba sat down, Rustom Kaka started singing and those present took darshan.
In a short while there was a pile of garlands, and after the darshan Baba went to Maharaj's hut and sat under a pandal for a meeting. Godavri came and took her seat near Baba.
Baba asked, "Did you have your food and did you give the prasad to the kanyas?"
She replied smiling, "Yes, Baba." The rays of the Avatar's divine love pervaded Sakori that day, and those present experienced a close intimacy in his love.
Baba then commented:
During the Meherabad Sahavas program I have given many discourses and explained many things to the devotees who had gathered around me. One of the subjects on which I laid great emphasis was "posing." What does posing mean? It means to make a show outwardly of what you are really not inwardly. God forgives everything, but I tell you the truth that the one thing He does not forgive is hypocrisy.
Two months before the sahavas, news reached me that in the course of a kirtan organized by one of my devotees at a place in U.P., a child, in whose house the kirtan was in progress, died and was again restored to life by the devotee.
