Then he proceeded to explain at length:
I am one with all on the same level of consciousness. As you have all come for my sahavas, I want you to be here, to forget your affairs at home, and to be here with me fully so that you can enjoy the sahavas fully. Sahavas is the intimacy of give-and-take of love. Either you all be my lovers and I your only Beloved or I will remain the only Lover and you all remain my beloveds.
Although undoubtedly I am the Ancient One and the Avatar of the Age, yet the Avatar cannot depend on his buddhi [memory]. Now I am over 60 years old and am weak in memory. There is a proverb, which Jal Kerawalla used to repeat, that after age 60 a man's memory fails. Now, on February 25, I will be 64, and you will be here to participate in my birthday. You cannot expect my memory to keep me company at the age of 64. But the fun is you all go in search of or seek "memory," whereas memory seeks me and comes in search of me.
In this sahavas, I want you all to forget your worries and just be with me. I want you all to try your very best to remain in my companionship as much as possible. I am the Ocean of Love, and it rests with you to draw as much as possible from this Ocean. Everyone must be receptive. This can only be if you forget your worries completely and concentrate on me.
Words, explanations and discourses mar the dignity of love. In spite of this, I will be giving some explanations and discourses whenever I find time. Those who are unable to grasp what I want you all to know should not worry. Just be in my company and enjoy my presence here for these five days. Those who can understand all that I say will, of course, enjoy better; but those who cannot understand, just be in my presence and gaze at me as much as you can.
We do not give any importance to explanations, discourses and words. Words carry no meaning. Whatever we think we have understood, we have not really understood. Reality is beyond human understanding, beyond samaj [understanding]. God is beyond understanding. On the contrary, intellect must go before Knowledge dawns.
