one full day to go to Pimpalgaon and come back. None should therefore think of going to Pimpalgaon."

Referring to Dr. T.D.R. (Andhra) Baba said, "He is our 'Grand Old Man.’”

A group leader introduced one of his circle to Baba saying, "This is Mr. A. who lost his wife recently and his wife was fixed to attend this Sahavas, but she died since." Baba remarked, "Why do you worry over the death of your wife? Take Me to be your wife and marry Me."

In answer to another group leader remarking that Mr. S. was of an emotional type, Baba remarked, "Who said that emotion is bad? What is wrong with emotional love? Emotion is good in its own way, but love is something else, quite different from emotion."

In answer to another lover who invited Baba to pay a visit to his place, Baba remarked, "Why do you want Me there? I am already there always. I am everywhere. It is I who speak through you and it is I who hear through you. My going or not going to any place is quite immaterial "

At about 4 P.M., when the meeting with Sahavasis was about to conclude, Baba said, "Attention please; after all of you have come to the dais for My embrace, you all should come and sit here for the concluding Arti song. I will now go to Pimpalgaon and will come back tomorrow morning. My health is not good and if I get fever, I may not be able to come for even five days. So, you should allow Me to take some rest after today's strenuous program. From tomorrow, none should try to meet Me or seek interviews or come to the dais, unless, of course, I of My own accord call any person. Only on the 25th, My Birthday, should you all next take My 'darshan.’ Only garlanding, and touching My feet, if you want, but no embracing again, on that day."

Baba continued: "Here is Homi――, the late Gustadji's brother. He was with Sai Baba and Sai Baba liked him very much. Here is S., called A.――also Gustadji's brother, a very old devotee of Mine."

Baba said, addressing M., "Are you talking to Me in shorthand or using telegraphic language? Better be loud and audible!"

Referring to four leaders amongst the Andhra workers, Baba said: "K. is most reliable. Before I meet all the workers, I want you four to meet Me together. I am glad to see you four together." Baba embraced the four again at the close of the program and remarked, "These four are the four big workers of Andhra Pradesh."
