Thereafter, all of you may take that water as prasad. Apply it to your forehead, drink it if your love demands and use it in any way you like. This will be tantamount to every one of you washing my feet, as I am in everyone. I hope this satisfies you all.
Baba continued to explain:
For the second matter of love-offerings, I have one solution. Those who have intended or decided to lay cash money as a love-offering at my feet should keep to your decision of parting with the money, whatever each decides to give (100, 50, ten or one rupee). None should change his or her amount. Don't try to decrease the amount or try to increase it now. But do not place the money at my feet tomorrow. Utilize it in purchasing books and pamphlets sold outside the pandal, and distribute the books to others at your respective centers.
Those who can afford should buy as many copies of Listen, Humanity as possible. For example, anyone who wants to place Rs.100 at my feet may buy four copies of Listen, Humanity and distribute them to others who cannot afford to buy them, or place them at the disposal of others, such as in libraries in your towns or villages and thus spread my messages. The books are to be given free to others. Those whose cash offering is small should buy smaller books or photographs, et cetera, and distribute them to others.
There is another small book, Life At Its Best . Adi says a number of copies have arrived at the Bombay docks and are expected soon. I have asked that when they arrive, copies should be sold at the nominal cost of Rs.1.50 each, and all of you may purchase as many copies as you can and distribute them.
Those of you who cannot afford even a small sum of one rupee should not worry. I want the offering of love tomorrow. Those who buy the books should not keep them idle, but should see that they are circulated or distributed to as many people as possible in your hometown.
Now we have disposed of two main matters concerning tomorrow's program. There is a third matter on the worldly plane. This morning Adi called on me at seven o'clock at Meherazad and looked worried and perturbed. He said a mistake had been committed. Vishnu, who was in charge, was unusually upset and worried.
