Other people were called in, and Baba asked them to explain how to love Baba. One said, "By perfect devotion."
Baba said, "That's fine, but you cannot do that."
"By thinking of Baba continually," another suggested.
Baba smiled broadly and made the gesture of perfection [closed circle with his thumb and forefinger], but he leaned forward a little and looking almost gleeful asked, "But do you?"
Others tried to explain, but Baba said, "Divine love is the real love, but you cannot do that, so thinking of me continually is the next best. That too you can't do. If you naturally say my name just while you are working or quiet — as often as you can spontaneously — that is good. But perhaps you can't do that either, so do this: Repeat Baba's name aloud every day for not less than half an hour, and not more than one hour. Now, there is no love in that — no value at all in repetition — but in this case, it will bring love, it will establish the link [with me], because I am telling you to do it.
"But if you don't even want to do that, don't do it. It doesn't matter. Do what you want to do but try to remember that I am in everyone, in every man, woman and child. Be happy, live naturally, but serve me in others as much as you can."
Ena began weeping when Baba turned to her and said, "You looked after your father well; you thought of him more than you thought of yourself. I am your father now. Go back and do my work."
"Do you have any further instructions for me?" she asked.
"If you would help Francis with the work, that would be wonderful."
To both ladies, he said, "Go back to Australia and give my love to my lovers. I am with you and I will be coming with you."
At one point, Baba had asked Clarice, "Could you afford to come?"
She said, "Yes, I am working," and then told him of the "Fly Now — Pay Later" scheme she had taken advantage of.
"But why did you come?" Baba demanded. "I am in Australia, and in every man, woman and child."
"I just wanted to," she said.
" I wanted you to come," Baba informed her, "and you are here to take my love to all. Do you know what I mean by all ?"
