You were a child, you grew up and you became a man. All the years you have passed are embodied in this very moment. Only in illusion is there time and space. In Reality, there is no scope for time and space. In my Real State, only this moment IS — the moment eternally IS.
Billions of past and future years are embodied in this state of Reality. I know the things that happened billions of years ago, and I know the things that are to happen billions of years from now. I am in you all. I am omniscient. I know what you all will think tomorrow. I say that you need not tell me anything — how you were, how you felt, how you thought, how you worked and what work you are now doing for me. If I am omniscient, I must know everything. I am omniscient!
So the best thing for you is to love me, to work for me and to be honest in my love. There must not be even a tinge of hypocrisy in your work and no expectation of reward. In fact, I am happy and pleased with your work and love.
Baba asked, "Now, can anyone knowing English make me laugh?"
Bapiraju got up.
On seeing him, Baba remarked, "He is the only man who makes me laugh and weep simultaneously!"
Bapiraju launched into something in his "Andhraite-English" which no one could follow, driving Baba and the audience into fits of laughter (and tears!) for several minutes. Then he walked up to the dais and, visibly moved, took Baba's darshan and received an embrace.
One old man conveyed his son's love to Baba and also the greetings of someone else who could not be present.
"What else is there to give?" replied Baba, "I am the Ocean of Love."
Eruch informed Baba that, during the recess, some had expressed their dissatisfaction through notes about Baba's decision that they buy books with the money they wished to place at his feet. Thereupon, Baba stated that they could do as their conscience dictated, but under no circumstances should they offer him jewels or gold ornaments.
Baba again emphasized that there was no necessity for the gifts in the first place, stating, "I will be fully satisfied with honest love and deep devotion on the part of those at the sahavas."
He then commented, "Instead of half an hour, forty minutes have passed. In five more minutes, I will wind up everything with the Telugu group with a few parting words. This is my last sahavas; tomorrow will be my last birthday. It might also mean that my body may drop. But I will live always in you, all my lovers.
