This freedom to see me is granted by me; as such, I remain equally free NOT to see anyone on any particular day, even during the fixed visiting hours of the morning. If I so wish, I may not see anyone at all for a number of days together.
This freedom to see me permits anyone to meet me, if I am available , in any city or town, wherever I may be, during the visiting hours between 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 noon (local time of the place). This freedom to see me will not bind me to remain in one place, merely to be available to visitors during the visiting hours. I might frequently be changing my place of residence, to and fro between Bombay, Poona and Ahmednagar, particularly during the next six months.
Therefore, whosoever may want to take advantage of the freedom to see me should venture to come to me fully prepared to face and risk consequent inconveniences and the possibility of not seeing me at all for a number of days at any particular place. The resident mandali, Adi or his office will NOT be responsible, nor bound to inform anyone about my movements from place to place.
As I do not accept gifts of any kind or of cash, no one visiting me should bring any kind of offerings other than the real offering of love. When, for my work, I specially invite any of my lovers to see me at any place, the aforementioned points, other than the point about gifts, do not apply to those invited.
Besides telegrams, all other communications addressed to me will not necessarily be attended to by me. Therefore, no one should expect to receive replies from me.
After the circular was received, many lovers and devotees began coming to Meherazad to briefly pay their respects to Baba and receive his embrace. Some traveled from hundreds of miles away just for a few minutes with Baba.
On 2 February, Baba told one person who had come, "It is not your love for me that matters; it is my love for you that counts."
One day Baba commented to the mandali:
"My work is more important than I. I am eternal and my work is necessary to make others know about me.
