Introducing Sailor Mama, Baba stated he was an old school friend and his langoti chum, and asked him, "Will this make your head swell?"
Baba then washed his face and hands and sprinkled water under his armpits. He took a little water and after a while again drank some, telling the Gujarati singers to go for lunch.
A. C. S. Chari put a garland around Baba's neck and wanted his photograph taken with him. He desired Baba's embrace twice — once for himself and another for someone and his wife, who could not attend the sahavas, but who had sent their love-gift of a shawl for Baba. Accepting both his requests, Baba embraced him twice and then had three photographs taken. Baba himself then added a touch of humor by having a fourth taken. At Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati's suggestion, the shawl was put over Baba and the photograph was taken like that.
Noshir Irani of Bombay came for darshan with a white cloth tied over his mouth in the fashion of a Parsi priest. He had the flu and so devised this method of having darshan. Baba allowed him to embrace him.
Baba washed his hands with soap as protection against catching the flu.
Bharati made some comment, to which Baba replied, "We should not hurt the feelings of others who come with love."
Baba informed him that formerly there was a leper colony in Meherabad, and Baba would daily bathe the lepers.
Baba further remarked to Shuddhananda Bharati, "You will do my work because you are now my devotee, and you have the background of devotion and fame behind you. I am the Light of the Universe. Once when you get a glimpse of the Truth you will know me, and you will have that glimpse."
Baba then handed Bharati the shawl Chari had given him.
Baba wanted to know the name of an old devotee. Eruch said, "Baba, I thought you most likely knew his name."
To this Baba replied, "I don't know anyone. I am in all; I see only myself in all. This is not tall talk; it is a fact. This is my Experience. This Experience of mine has a continuity without a break."
About doing work in his name, Baba pointed out, "Whoever works for me, works for his own self."
Introducing one man, Dhanapathy Rao said, "He is my relative."
Baba replied, "Don't say he is my relative. Have you any idea what is sahavas? He who approaches me with a heart full of love has my sahavas. This is the last sahavas; there will be no more. After I drop this body, many things will be written about this sahavas. So take the fullest advantage of this opportunity in the living presence of the Avatar.
