Madhusudan then sang a few ghazals. Baba explained a couplet here and there from one of the ghazals:
The lover says to his Beloved: "I remember you always, and that is the reason why I have a share in your suffering. I am constantly in search of your footprints, and I swear I bow down my head as soon as I see them. For me, there is no Kaaba [holy shrine of pilgrimage] to bow down my head to. Every thought of you is my Kaaba. I do not know how to worship you. All I know is to bow down whenever you ask me to do so." This means 100 percent obedience.
The lover says: "The real sight of seeing God is like making my nest in lightning." A nest means a place of protection, while lightning denotes destruction. The lover must thus be prepared to build his nest in lightning; in other words, to be prepared for complete annihilation. One should not seek the Beloved by enjoying bodily pleasures, but seek Him in constant suffering!
The residents of Chirle Village near Panvel came for Baba's darshan.
Baba remarked about them: "The village consists of only 30 houses. They decided to come to me, and not only were their houses locked, but the whole village is deserted. They have left enough fodder for their cattle to last until they return. Baba's love has been ignited in them by Ramrao Patil, who has a long bushy beard. He looks like Father Christmas since he had brought the gift of Baba-love to all the villagers."
Eruch remarked, "So many new centers are springing up [in India] that it is not possible to keep track of them."
In response, Baba remarked, "Once I break my silence, all will come to know me. Fortunate are those who know me now!"
Once during the program, Baba said: "Where 'you' are, God is not. Where God is, 'you' are not. It is very easy to become good, but most difficult to become God."
Adi joked, "It is very easy to become God after becoming good — just knock off one o !"
Baba replied, "In trying to knock off the o you may even die, but you will not succeed. It is not that easy."
Kusum Mohkam Singh sang, and Baba gave more explanations of the ghazals:
"The lover complains to the Beloved: 'I have given myself to you completely, and yet you are so cruel that you do not even care for me!'
