Baba seemed to answer her prayer, for that day he announced that those children who could behave themselves and sit quietly could come to the Barn for the morning session. That particular girl was waiting for him when he arrived, standing by his chair. At one point, Baba leaned over and tapped her forehead with his fingertips, expressing his affection.
After the discourses, Baba called for a brief intermission and asked for music. Max Haefliger, who had come from Switzerland with his wife, Gisela, played a Swiss record brought by Hedi Mertens of a woman yodeler and described how Baba had enjoyed hearing a yodeler after being in seclusion on Mount Fallenfluh in 1934. "But this record is only the seventh shadow of a real yodel," Max stated.
After it was played, Baba made all laugh by quipping, "The 14th shadow!"
Another Swiss record of a male choir was played. It was very moving and some wept.
Afterward Baba said: "This reminds me of the 10th of July [Silence Day]. This time, no one should fast or keep silence, but rather repeat seven times in a barely audible voice exactly at midnight between the 9th and 10th of July according to your local time: 'Beloved God, Thy Will has come to pass.' "
Don Stevens then read out this explanation on the difference between love and devotion:
Love burns the lover; devotion burns the Beloved. Love seeks happiness for the Beloved; devotion seeks blessings from the Beloved. Love seeks to shoulder the burden of the Beloved; devotion throws the burden on the Beloved. Love gives; devotion asks. Love is silent and sublime, devoid of outward expressions; devotion expresses itself outwardly. Love does not require the presence of the Beloved in order to love; devotion demands the presence of the Beloved to express affection for the Beloved.
Baba commented, "I have explained the origin of this discourse. It was given for Harry Kenmore in India after he had heard the devotees saying they did not know how to love God. At the last sahavas in India, each one there was a genuine lover of mine. They were ready to lay down their lives for me."
Baba then went to the Lagoon Cabin, over which was flying his seven-colored flag. This was one of the two flags which had been used at Meherabad during the sahavas there. Baba had told Mani to mail the flag to Myrtle Beach for use during the Western sahavas. The other flag had been mailed to Australia. Baba called various individuals and small groups to the Lagoon Cabin, and permitted those who had not seen him to kiss his hand.
