But in the past, the Beyond-God did not have the occasion of playing the part of God the Mother. In this Avataric period, God the Father is very pleased with me at my being infinitely bright, infinitely intelligent, infinitely brilliant, ustad [masterful], and so forth. I give promises and never fulfill them.
[The group laughed.]
I am bright and shrewd, as my Father wants me to be, and I am the Beloved Son of my Father.
At the same time, in this form, I am physically disabled. In America in 1952, I broke the left side of my physical frame from head to foot. Now in India, the right side has been completely shattered in the recent auto accident. Besides being physically disabled, I am infinitely bhola [innocent], guileless and easily duped. Therefore, I always listen to all that you say and yield to your wishes. I have not the strength to say no to any of you, nor refuse any of your requests, despite my plans, instructions and circulars. Thus, I am the well-beloved Son of God as the Mother also. In this incarnation of the Avatar, God has the chance, as it were, to play the part of both Father and Mother.
Baba wanted to know the time. It was 10:45 A.M. Baba indicated he would enjoy some singing and then give another discourse. So the singing was resumed, and at one stage, Vishnu of Dhagwan gave a combined song and dance performance, greatly enjoyed by all.
Over the microphone, Keshav Nigam recited his composition (in Hindi) Meher Chalisa , a prayer of praise to Baba in 40 couplets. Baba was so pleased he embraced him.
Next, Vishnu Sharma came up to read his humorous Chai Puran (Tale of Tea), written in a mixture of Sanskrit, Urdu, Hindi and English, which described the story of tea and extolled its attributes.
When he finished, Baba joked, "Now the management's troubles have increased, because after hearing this tale, the men and women here will want more tea."
Coming on the dais, Sripat Sahai read out his verses of love. Then a few other men and women from Hamirpur read their compositions and acted them out sweetly.
One devotee performed Baba's arti in the simple village style as performed in his native Bundelkhand.
Finally, Deshmukh and Gadekar sang bhajans, after which the sahavas group went for lunch.
