One woman who had been quite prejudiced against Baba confessed tearfully the day after meeting him, "I can't think of anything but that beautiful man. I must confess I was a little prejudiced. All I've done since I've seen him is pray God for forgiveness." To a young child Baba said, "Do you love me?' The girl replied, "I love you if you love my Mommy!" Baba's smile was precious.

At 2:30 there was a meeting of the Meher Baba Hospitality Committee. Marion Florsheim read a report of the finances and final balance. Baba commented: "All trust you and I trust you, so everything is all right." Ivy thanked Marion for us all, then Elizabeth Patterson rose to express our gratitude to Baba for coming to us. Baba replied:

"When I see your ocean of love and feeling for me, the Limitless Ocean of love is stirred by the love of his lovers . . . your love creates waves in that ocean . . . you do not know how many . Everything these past days has gone according to my Divine Plan. With the love you have given me I feel immensely happy."

Messages were read,"'The Inviolable Unity of Life" and "All Is from Within," and another message stressing that it is not what you believe that counts, but what you actually are.

At 3:15 the whole party reconvened in Baba's room and there was further discussion on the trip to India. Baba said:

"I know most of you are practically penniless, like me . . . though I am the Lord of the Universe, my pockets are always full of holes! There will be the difficulty of all your fares to and from India. A few of you might be able to contribute something for the meeting over and above the fares. I know that a dollar contribution from one who has nothing is equivalent to a million dollars from one who has much. I also have other plans to be carried out during the meeting. This meeting has spiritual significance and may shake the whole world. Remember not to send any contributions before the 15th of February, because I am in seclusion. Send your contributions to Adi, but only after the 15th . . . After the 15th, if I see the contributions are sufficient to cover the expenses of the whole meeting, then I will give my sanction for the meeting. If there are not sufficient funds, then Adi will return the amount to the contributors. The same holds true for the contributors in India.
