This will be your sadhana [spiritual practice] and thereby you will be able to conquer your mind from its thoughts of worldly allurements. A sadhu should always try to be above desires of any sort.
Later, at Meherabad, Baba told the mandali:
There is no easier way for attaining God-realization than satsang — the contact with or company of saints and Masters. As for my circle members, have no fear of failure or worry about Realization. The clock is wound and the alarm is set. When the time comes, the clock will ring automatically, whether it is near me or far away. But why keep at a distance? Keep company with Truth. When the time comes, the Light will appear in the blink of an eye. Wait and watch. Just wait patiently, like the story of the true aspirant who waited for twelve years at the bidding of his Master.
Chanji was working on a short biography of Baba's life under Baba's direction and was called to the Jhopdi privately at 10:30 P.M. that night to discuss it. Along with some of Baba's spiritual discourses, a few songs written by Baba were to be included in the publication.
About them, Baba commented, "In the future, these songs will be sung as sacred prayers."
During this period, Anna 104 often recounted for the local populace how the deep wounds he had sustained when robbed and beaten the previous year had been miraculously healed by repeating the name of Meher Baba and by applying chunna (lime chalk powder). One day Anna brought two afflicted women to Baba. One woman was lame and had been in pain for many months from some deformity She lost her balance and fell at Baba's feet.
He comforted her, saying "Your suffering has fallen at my feet."
The next day, she was able to walk quite naturally again and confessed to Anna that he had taken her to a "very good Bua."
The other woman was in deep financial and legal straits, but her problems were settled in a short time after having Baba's darshan.
In the evening on Tuesday, 29 March 1927, Borker brought his assistant and an older sincere gentleman who would be taking over some of Borker's duties at the Ahmednagar school.
Baba advised them, "In whatever things you undertake, throw your whole heart and mind into it. Do it sincerely, wholeheartedly. Don't do anything half-heartedly, nor leave anything half-done. Nor should you have a wavering mind to do two things at a time. Take up one thing and finish it."
