After explaining its meaning, Baba said, "All are free to go to town tomorrow, but nothing can be certain with me. I might come to the Lagoon Cabin or I may not come at all. I may just play with that toy alligator! If I come here to the Cabin, Eruch will not accompany me. There will be no one to interpret for me. Just see me, be with me. It does not mean I won't come at all. I might ask strong men to carry me to the beach and stay there for five minutes. There is no fixed program with me [tomorrow]."
Turning to Harry Hartshorne, Elizabeth's nephew, who had recently arrived, Baba remarked, "He has a little bit of love for me. I love him more. Maybe some day he will love me much.
"No more recitations from anyone. Don, what are you thinking?"
Don Stevens, who was gazing at the children, replied that he was thinking about the curler still in one little girl's hair.
Baba joked, "It seems you have not forgotten the discourse on the hair and the head of God!
"At my house this afternoon, I permit the boys to come, if the men are happy about it. I feel happy in their company. What do you say, Ben?" [Ben approved.] Ben says, 'Yes, they can come.'
"Last night, I asked Nariman to telephone that no one should go off the beaten paths [because of the poisonous snakes]."
Nariman said he forgot to phone. Baba observed:
Wonderful! It is not Nariman's fault. It is because he missed yesterday's performance by going to Wilmington. I want you to remember not to move about here and there in the dark off the paths. If you see a snake, don't be afraid. Repeat Baba's name and if it bites you don't be nervous. Say "BABA!" with all your heart.
This reminds me. Yesterday, at my house I told Kitty, Margaret and Elizabeth what happened once in Meherabad. The other day I told you about Kaikobad who has spiritual sights, experiences and feels my presence. He stays all the time with me in Pimpalgaon. When I shift to other places, he goes with me and his family stays on Meherabad Hill. Seventeen years have passed and they stay always up on the hill, handling their own affairs. The only thing they do is love Baba. There is one other lady there whose name was Mani. But there were so many Mani 's, so I called her Mansari. Kitty, Elizabeth and Delia know her.
