"All, Baba!" Kitty retorts.
“This means Harry Florsheim will have to blow the whistle seven times for Ben. Ben, get up at 3; Harry will wake you!" Baba teases. "I am happy today, very happy. This morning Nariman wrote to Goher to convey to Mehera that I gave more of my love here than at the Meherabad Sahavas. It’s a fact. Eruch says I am devoting more time to you here.
"Mehera loves me very much. She loves me as I ought to be loved. She has written to Kitty a Marathi song in two couplets. This morning Kitty told me she had received the couplets to be read out to all in the presence of Baba. 'What a lover should do' said by the Perfect Master Ramdas to the devotees. Ramdas and Tukaram were contemporary Perfect Masters."
Kitty read the couplets in her version of Marathi and Baba beckoned Adi to recite them. “In Ramdas' couplet," Baba said, “he uses the word Guru, Master. But Mehera has substituted 'Meher Baba, Guru Nayak' ; Meher Baba, Master of all Masters.”
The translation reads:
| "May I always be blessed by your company. |
I want your company at every moment of my life, |
| and only in your cause should this body be sacrificed. |
| O you, the Infinite One, have infinite attributes. |
| Do not be indifferent to me! |
| O Meher Baba, Guru of Gurus, |
| I ask nothing but this last wish. |
I don't ask for God or for God-realization, |
or powers, or authority. My only wish is: |
Please don't be indifferent to me!" |
Baba said, "All are free to go to town tomorrow but nothing can be certain with me. I might come to the Lagoon Cabin or I may not come at all. I may just play with that toy alligator! If I come here to the cabin, Eruch will not accompany me. There will be no one to interpret me. Just see me—be with me! It does not mean I won't come at all. I might ask the strong men to carry me to the beach. There is no fixed program with me.
