started. Baba would often interpret lines from the ghazals, some of which were:

"Once in a way comes a real brave lover of God. One glance from the Perfect Master makes him realize his own Self." Referring to the audience Baba said, "All of you are not up to the mark and so My glance does not fall on you.

"The Path is very difficult. You have to become like dust; only then will you see within you Baba as He is. Only one, a rare one, sees Baba in this way.

“The lover tells his Beloved, how indifferent He is to him, for, when he bows down to Him, He kicks his head!"

Talking about Himself, Baba said, "I was a 'drop' when Babajan kissed Me, but then I swallowed the whole 'Ocean'! If you are lucky and My glance of Grace falls upon you, then you will also become the 'Ocean.' The main thing is that My glance must fall on you."

Talking of the countless bogus saints and sadhus, Baba said, "Real Satsang (companionship of a real saint) can be had only near Me. That Satsang alone is real which will even convert dust into the 'touchstone' that transmutes iron into gold. Hafiz says that true lovers of God (Mardane Khuda) possess only one thing—Love. Out of thousands of such true lovers only one gets Self-Realization, and that too only if the glance of Grace from a Perfect Master falls upon him.”

The Qawwali finished at 12 noon. Baba seemed quite pleased with the singers. The women then went to Baba's garden where they would have a buffet lunch and Mehera would cut a huge birthday cake. The men had lunch near the men mandali’s quarters.

After lunch the men collected near Baba in the meeting hall. Baba talked about "Chanji” and his love for Baba. He said that "Chanji” always carried his portable typewriter with him and would type down notes even in a crowded railway carriage. Very often at a railway station he would suddenly remember that his luggage was lying in the waiting room just when the train was about to move. He would then rush for his luggage and would often have to be hauled into the carriage of the running train by the mandali! Baba said that "Chanji" and Kaka had lived with Him for so many years, in spite of often getting very rough treatment from Him.
