"Yes, Baba, as soon as your order arrived," they said.
Ursula recalled: "Baba smiled so beautifully, it was as if the whole world was happy! It was clear that Baba was happy because we had obeyed him."
Mik recalled: "When Baba smiled everything just lit up! The roof went right off; the walls expanded!" Immediately the atmosphere was surcharged, as Baba beamed with pleasure.
Baba repeated his message of "No drugs!" and explained that neither by smoking marijuana nor by ingesting LSD or any other pharmaceutical substance can one realize the God state.
"God can only be realized through love," he said.
Then he asked, "Have you read God Speaks?"
Mik said yes. Ursula said no, it was too difficult. She explained that she did not read English well. Baba suggested she try reading Hilde Halpern's book in German, Liebe Und Weisheit (Love and Wisdom) , which Adi later gave her.
"Have you read Stay with God?" Baba asked.
" God Speaks and Stay with God are the two most important books to read," he added.
After a few moments, Baba asked, "Who do you think I am? Whom do you take me to be?"
He looked at Mik.
Mik replied, "You are the living Christ!"
Ursula was taken aback, as Mik had never confided this to her.
Baba looked at her. "And who do you think I am?"
"I have no idea," she said. "I don't know."
Baba said, "I am God in human form; I know this because I constantly experience it. Just as you know you are a woman. You never ask yourself, am I a woman or a man? In the same way, I know through constant experience that I am God in human form."
Ursula later recalled her feelings when Baba stated this:
I sat there, Baba looking directly at me, and telling me he was God! It totally blew my mind. The only thing I could feel and realize was that that is who he was. The authority with which he said it and the way in which he said it left absolutely no room for doubt in my mind. It was simple.
It was so devastating to me that I started to cry and completely lost my composure. I was weeping and sobbing, and did not have a handkerchief, so I had to wipe my runny nose on the sleeve of my black sweater.
