"All the impressions of the past, the accumulation of past sanskaras of all illusory things, which include both good and bad, come out. My proximity, the intimacy with me, just changes that mass of sanskaras, and sometimes you find sparks of good and bad flying out."
At one point, Baba startled them by declaring, "No more reading. I want you all to stop reading — it confuses the mind! Don't even read anything Baba has written!"
The very next moment, he playfully turned to Margaret and asked, "How many times have you read God Speaks ? Read it ten times, one right after another!"
Baba finished by informing the group, "I would like to return by 6:00 P.M., and no one should disturb me after six o'clock. You are free to pack or do other things."
After a few more private interviews, Baba and the mandali had tea. During one of the private interviews, Baba straightened out a romance, as he had done in Myrtle Beach. Mike Loftus' fiancée had fallen in love with Mike's best friend.
Baba called all three and explained to Mike that "the girl and his best friend love each other, but don't wish to hurt you, so I am asking you to release her," which Mike tearfully did.
Just as the sun was setting over the scenic hills of Ojai, Baba patted Kali's head and got into the station wagon, saying the dog would incarnate as a human being for having met him. He asked Agnes to drive him back the longer coastal route and often mentioned on the way that he thoroughly enjoyed the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean.
Baba had spoken of "sparks flying," and one incident occurred during the visit to Meher Mount. Agnes was about to leave her guests and go to Baba, when Ivy Duce asked for something. Agnes was in such a hurry to leave she did not fulfill Ivy's request, causing her to make some disparaging comment about Agnes. Fuming, Agnes came to Baba and said, "I don't love everybody — what am I going to do about it?"
Baba looked at her, and Adi interpreted, "Agnes you love everybody you just don't like everyone!"
In the car while returning to Los Angeles, Baba sat next to Agnes in the front seat. She said, "Baba, you know what Ivy Duce said about me ... I don't believe it, but if it is true what am I going to do about it?"
