"My sister Mani loves Me very much. She doesn't worry about anything. She simply obeys Me. From morning till night she is working for Baba. She knows Baba is God and loves Baba as God. Mehera I love very much due to past connections. I love you too. If you love Me, you are with Me; then you come to Me. Through love, you can become One with Me.
