To some of the Sufi group, Baba dictated:
I have said many times I am the Lord of Love and at the same time I am the slave of my lovers. This is not idle talk; this is a fact. I am the Lord of Love and the slave of my lovers.
Eruch continued as Baba gestured:
Baba says when he goes out to contact masts in India, the God of Love meets the God-intoxicated. About 70 miles from Satara there is one mast called Dhondi Bua . Baba likes him very much. He is very healthy; he does not wear anything or want anything. Even if you want to give him something, he will not take it. Although he does not wear anything, he does not feel cold. In the winter, even while it is raining, he sits there in the same position as we find him in the summer. Baba has been there several times by day and night and found him always in the same position. Baba goes there and comforts him, kisses his feet and caresses him. He sits near him and the mast feels very delighted, very happy to be near Baba. He remains happy; he is like a child, but he knows that all this world is nothing but an illusion. He does not want anything.
It is our wants that bind us. We want something and so we get bound. When we truly do not want anything, we are like emperors. We are everything; therefore, we do not want anything.
A boy named Charles said, "I would like to learn how to love."
Don Stevens volunteered to answer: "I would say to be with Baba or near Baba as much as possible. Or, if you cannot be with Baba, see Baba in people, love people. Because apparently it is only by loving people that one is loved by them in turn."
Eruch continued:
Someone in India asked Baba how to love him, and the reply Baba gave was: "I don't know how you should love me. It is for you to show me the way you should love me. I am the Ocean of Love; how am I to know how you should love me? It is for you to love me. I say love me. How to love me is your lookout — being the very Ocean of Love, how am I to know how to love me?" Do you follow what Baba means?
