Patiently have I suffered these things in silence for all my children. It is time that they become aware of the presence of their Father in their midst and of their responsibility toward Him and themselves. I shall break my silence and with my Word of words arouse my children to realize in their lives the indivisible existence which is GOD.
Throughout the years, I have been giving many messages and discourses. Today, I simply want to tell you who are gathered here in my love to shut the ears of your minds and open the ears of your hearts to hear my Word when I utter it.
Do not seek my blessing, which is always with you, but long for the day when my grace will descend on all who love me. Most blessed are they who do not even long for my grace, but simply seek to do my will.
Baba motioned that the translations of this message should be read out before the rain started. He remarked there was no need for a Gujarati translation, and he called for the remaining people waiting for darshan to come for their turn, starting with the women. Each man, woman and child approached their Divine Father in an orderly manner, and Baba appeared pleased.
At 3:15 P.M., rain seemed to threaten again, and Baba gestured, "I am very happy you stayed in your places, and everything is going well. Even if it rains, I want you to remain silent and disciplined."
While meeting his lovers, Baba's eyes roved across the assembly.
He teased Ben Hayman again, "Ben, are you awake? Keep awake, so I can keep awake!"
To Niranjan Singh, he remarked, " You aren't afraid of the clouds."
Before coming to Poona, Shuddhananda Bharati had written that he wished to be accommodated in a hotel which could fulfill his dietary needs of fruit, nuts and milk. Baba had everything arranged, and Dr. Moorty was entrusted to look after him.
When Bharati was seated next to Baba on the stage, Baba turned to him and remarked, "You need plenty of fresh fruit, as your diet consists mainly of fruits, so be on the lookout. When people offer fruit at my feet, quickly swipe it and put it in your satchel. Don't forget now. Be alert."
