Baba continued, "You will see me only in your memory . When I drop my body, I will remain in all who love me. I can never die. Love me, obey me, and you will find me. Henceforth, no one should give me a gift in cash or kind. Only your love will be accepted. I only want your love.
"We will now have a little change. The raising of hands has made me very happy. Now Harry Kenmore will tell you what I mean by obedience."
Kenmore explained about the four types of obedience as discoursed by Baba in Poona and Bombay.
Baba then stated, "It is impossible to obey me 100 percent, unless you have 100 percent love for me and accept me 100 percent as God Incarnate. Therefore, it is for you who have raised your hands to do my will.
"The purpose of my coming to the West has been accomplished. Tomorrow we will start discourses. Now let us have some jokes."
After the gathering in the Barn, Baba was driven to the Lagoon Cabin where he had interviews with various groups until 4:00 P.M. It was then announced that there would be no meeting in the Barn the next day, but that everyone was to be available at 9:30 A.M.
When Margaret's group of dancers came to see him in the Lagoon Cabin, Baba joked and laughed with them.
All of a sudden, he asked, "Did all of you raise your hands in the Barn?"
All, except one man who was in the back, nodded that they had.
Baba remarked, "That makes Baba happy."
The young man was relieved, thinking Baba had not seen him.
After a few minutes, Baba, looking rather appalled and disappointed, singled him out and asked, "You didn't raise your hand?"
The young man was overcome with dread about facing Baba and answering the question. He proceeded to try to explain that he really wanted to obey but could not determine in his own mind if he were prepared enough to do so, because he had failed to carry out one of Baba's previously issued orders.
Baba shook his head and laughed, remarking to the fellow, "Your mind is useless! All it does is confuse you!"
The person smiled in agreement.
When Ivy Duce and her Sufi group had their interview in the Lagoon Cabin, Baba reiterated how they must hang on to his daaman, and how difficult it would be:
"If six cobras came into this room suddenly from out there, would you just sit still here with me? No, you would be flying out the doors and windows as fast as you could in sheer panic. You would forget all about Baba!
