I am not going to give such an order now. This is just an occasion for you to test yourself to know where you stand. It is possible for you to carry out all big orders. Though not easy, you can even be successful in carrying out the small orders of multifarious nature. But to live with me and obey all small and big orders and yet remain in a cheerful mood and not worry about anything, that is impossible.
However, to hold on to me through thick and thin, trying to be as cheerful as is humanly possible while carrying out my orders, is an act of fortitude worth appreciating. Hafiz says something unique in this respect. He says:
Befitting a fortunate slave, carry out every command of the Master, without any question of why and what. About what you hear from the Master, never say it is wrong, because, my dear, the fault lies in your own incapacity to understand him. I am the slave of the Master, who has released me from ignorance; whatever my Master does is of the highest benefit to all concerned.
Therefore, do what I say. Do not worry about anything. Be cheerful and happy.
Baba concluded by stating:
Let your heart be pure. Do not act outwardly what you are not inwardly. Be absolutely honest. God is infinite honesty. If you have an impure heart, do not try to pose as being pious. Why? Because God is everywhere. God cannot be fooled. So why pose as something you are not?
I do not want anything from you. I have stopped accepting gifts. Give me the gift of love and free yourself from the bondage of ignorance.
Marvin Campen was allowed to come back to Guruprasad the following morning, Sunday, 24 May 1959. About 500 people came for Baba's darshan. Seeing Baba exert himself to give darshan to one and all, Marvin said, "Baba, you work so hard for us!"
Baba gestured to the gathering, "Marvin loves me."
During one ghazal by a qawaali singer, Baba told Marvin: "My unique experience of the Beyond State is so unique that I simultaneously experience being everything and beyond everything. I am the song, its words and its melody, and I am the singer. I am the musical instruments and the players and the listeners. And on your level I explain to you the meaning of what I, the Singer, sing."
Before Marvin left, Baba urged him, "Give my love to all."
