He still has fever this morning, but the night has passed away and Baba is here in the barn.

Baba told the mandali that he will see whether he will break the sahavas here and also cancel sahavas in Australia and go straight back to India. If he decides to continue the sahavas here he will also go to Australia and give sahavas there. No one need worry about this, because the day before yesterday all raised their hands, signifying obedience. So Baba's first instruction is whether sahavas is cut short or not—to remain happy. "As long as you are here do not think of your homes and affairs, but always think of Baba. I say with my divine authority, I am God in human form, therefore love me. I know everything."

Baba said he wanted to talk about the preparations being made for the Australian sahavas; Australia sent $6,000 for the round-the-world trip for Baba and the mandali.

Baba said, "I will come and give you my presence for six days." Francis replied, "It will be enough if you are here for a single day." Baba now remarked, "This reminds me of Hafiz, who says, 'To be with a Perfect Master for one moment's time is equal to a hundred years of sincere prayer with all one's heart and soul.' Are you all happy?" Baba asked. Everyone raised his hand. Baba went on, "Nothing will help me. I am happy as I also raised my hand." Notes on the first day of the Indian sahavas were then read out by Don:

It rests with you to draw as much love as possible out of the Ocean. It does not rest with Me to explain to you how you should love me. Does a husband or a wife explain to one another how to love? One thing is certain; I want to give you my love. It depends on each of you to receive it. The easy way to receive it is to forget your home, family and all worldly affairs, when you are here, and be receptive to my
