The congregation in a unanimous voice agreed to have Baba's sahavas in the pandal.
In response, Baba stated: "Now see that you all do not gather around my cabin, lingering or peeking in, trying to gain entrance or catch my attention for an individual interview. If I want to call anyone, I will certainly call him and wait until he arrives, wherever he or she may be at the time.
"Now we will start the discourse on 'Opiumized Saints.' At last week's sahavas, I gave, or rather commenced, my discourse on this subject, and time permitting, I intend to proceed and complete it today. It may be continued tomorrow also. I will tell you a few points, allow some respite for bhajans and again continue the discourse. It will relieve the monotony. If you go on continuously listening, you will start to feel drowsy. Quite apart from your feeling drowsy, I myself am feeling drowsy and I need some relaxation in the form of listening to some bhajans or jokes. This discourse on the 'Opiumized Saints' is a wonderful one.
"The management should have prepared tea before 3:00 P.M. The tea is not ready yet, and on top of that, this opium story. No wonder the sahavasees [those having sahavas] are drowsy!"
Eruch then read out the points given by Baba in the past week's sahavas. At 3:45 P.M. there was singing by different bhajan groups. Then most of the men and women went for tea, and Baba stayed in the pandal listening to music and exchanging witticisms with a few others.
The discourse was resumed at about 4:35 P.M.
After it was fully explained, Baba ended by concluding, "So through the opiumized saint, good and bad recoil and rebound. Ultimately the cause of all this is my play. It is no one's fault. It is my leela [game]. I am in everyone and I do everything, and I also do nothing."
The arti was sung at 5:30 P.M.
Afterward, Baba urged his lovers: "Be brave, be happy. I and you are One. The Infinite that eternally belongs to me will one day also belong to every individual. Remember, I and you are One, and not you and I are one!"
Baba stood up and then sat down again, whereupon he stated: "Tomorrow is the day for the workers' meeting. I want all group workers to gather together, not according to centers, but all the workers in one big group. Everyone will say he is a worker. It is not possible to call all in the workers' meeting. The organizers should select the workers.
