Now see the power and knowledge of the Qutub. In order to make the boy's father alive, who died twelve years before, he had to make innumerable alterations in an instant, because his father must have been connected with so many relatives and friends, who in turn were connected with many others. In short, to make a seemingly small alteration, the Perfect Master has to make innumerable alterations in the universe.
On Saturday, 15 June 1963, the Andhra Pradesh state minister for Excise, Prohibition and Social Welfare, M. R. Appa Rao, arrived with his wife for Baba's darshan. He longed to anoint Baba's feet with milk and honey, but hesitated to ask Baba's permission. Baba asked him what he wanted. Haltingly, he replied, "If it is no trouble for you, I would like to worship your feet." Baba consented and instructed him to come the next morning.
Appa Rao returned the following morning at 7:00 A.M., and he and his wife anointed Baba's feet with honey, milk, curds (yogurt), spices, et cetera. They then washed his feet with eau-de-cologne and lastly with rosewater. They offered Baba tea, of which Baba sipped a little and returned the rest to them as his prasad. Appa Rao said to Baba, "On behalf of myself and my wife, I wish to declare publicly what we believe in our hearts — namely that you are the Avatar — God in human form." Baba appreciated the couple's sincerity.
This was the final weekend of darshan and many came and were standing in a long line. Baba entered the hall. While he was giving darshan, Madhusudan sang bhajans. Baba also asked Lata to sing a ghazal.
Another girl gave a dance performance. Baba was very pleased with it, particularly when she danced standing on the rim of a brass platter. A qawaal then sang for about an hour and a half. Baba enjoyed his ghazals and gave him his handkerchief. At 10:50 A.M. the arti was sung and everyone was asked to leave.
Baba went to the side room to meet with the mandali.
He repeated, "The next nine months are very crucial from the standpoint of my work."
He warned them that under no circumstances should they let go of his daaman. There was no special program that afternoon, and Baba retired at 3:30 P.M.
