"This coming May, I will go to America and from there to Australia. After my return there will be no more darshan, sahavas or celebration. This is quite definite. So love me more and more. Serve others more and more. Remain honest in your love for me. Remember me always. Don't make a show of love or propagandize. Preach to others what you practice. I give you all my blessings."
After the usual vociferous shouts of his Jai had quieted down, Baba said that on the morning of the 26th he would take the sahavas group up Meherabad Hill to show them his Tomb.
Dr. Dhanapathy requested that Baba revisit Andhra, but Baba pointed out that it was not possible for him.
At 3:40 P.M., the gathering dispersed. Baba's chair was shouldered to Meherabad Hall where the Gujarati group was present.
Baba sipped a little water and casually gestured to Sidhu, "You may suffer from TB [tuberculosis]."
Addressing the Gujarati group, Baba observed, "I have just come to you from hundreds of Telugu men and women. What a loving and splendid atmosphere it was. But when I see Parsi boys here, I am reminded of what Gustadji used to say — that the antics and mischief of the Parsi boys would frighten even the devil!"
Humorously pointing to Elcha, Baba said, "And he is their leader!"
Becoming more jocular, Baba observed, "Being among these devilish mischief-makers, I have forgotten what I wanted to say here!"
He then began:
I am happy to see the women of this group sitting up front. In the first group, they were sitting behind. There is no doubt that Parsi women are clever. We have assembled here today for light, merry talks. But before it starts, I will begin by telling you not to worry. Whatever suffering may befall you, put up with it with all faith and love for me. At most, what could happen? The utmost might be that you will die. And it is so obvious that you have to die one day sooner or later. Daily you live to drop your body. So why not think that you have no body from the beginning and act accordingly — detached? You should remember one thing and that is to be honest. I am in everyone and everything. God knows everything, so be resigned to His will.
