He first said: "All of you should feel free and make yourselves comfortable; stretch out your legs and relax. Once, one of my meetings in India lasted for two hours, and there were a few who kept their legs under them and felt uncomfortable the whole time. So, I ask all of you to feel at ease, stretch your legs and sit comfortably."
One person said, "But we are not supposed to stretch the soles of our feet toward you; we must respect you, Baba, you are God!"
In reply, Baba stated: "God is everywhere. I am everywhere, even under the soles of your feet. Wherever you move your legs or feet, I am there. So, of course, there is nothing wrong in freely stretching your legs. Baba comes down to your level and becomes one with you."
Eruch said: "In Sydney, Baba said many things to the group, and he thinks it best to repeat what was said there, as he does not want the people of Melbourne to miss anything. Baba says that after he was nearing the completion of his tour, he wanted to cancel the arrangements for Australia. He wanted to send a telegram canceling his visit here. Then he thought Ena [Lemmon] and Clarice [Adams] would feel upset, and others who had worked so hard also would not feel pleased. So he decided to come."
Baba continued:
There was a very great program in America, and the time was so limited. I had to give many messages, meet many individuals and groups, reporters and television people. It was all done with love for me.
I was thinking of going back to India early so that I could resume my seclusion of one year. Even from my seclusion, I agreed to give just one month of my sahavas to the West. In India, information was sent that no one should come to the airport for a send-off, nor to receive me when I return. I will see no one in India when I return, and will resume my seclusion for five months.
I feel very happy to be with this group of my lovers. I am not here to be with your friends or crowds, or to hold programs for others, but for those who are here only for Baba's love and nothing else. Make the best use of it. Try to draw Baba's love; remain in Baba's company. There may not be another opportunity for me to visit Australia, England and America, because my time is drawing very near. It is fast approaching. The time is nigh.
