After this, lovers from Andhra sang bhajans. Once Baba said, "I am one with the highest state of consciousness and simultaneously I am on all the planes of consciousness, and so I am one with you all. Only Knowledge (Dnyan) can make one realize that I am nearer to you than you are to yourself. Your eyes are so near you but you cannot see your eyes unless you hold a mirror in front of you. If you want to see me, hold the mirror of Dnyan before you. This is only possible through my Grace."

At about 11:00 A.M. we sang Baba's Arti and then Baba asked the Andhra lovers to go outside and relax for half an hour. Lovers from other centers came and sat near Baba after the huge group of lovers from Andhra left. Baba asked M. to sing. After her Adi sang a ghazal although he had a sore throat.

The President of the All-India Hindu Sabha came to see Baba. He asked Baba for a message. Baba said, "Love God to such an extent that you become God. That Love can be had through selfless service, but this service should be such that there is not even a single thought of self. What counts most is experience and not mere understanding. One has to go beyond one's mind. You can see Reality within you but for this you have to dive deep within yourself. By reading you may have the conviction of God's existence just through intellect, but conviction by sight is better. Conviction of becoming One with God is much better than conviction by sight. After gaining the conviction of being One with God, one in thousands comes down to normal human consciousness on this Earth as a Perfect Master."

The President left soon after this message. Just then a few lovers from Eluru arrived and embraced Baba. After lunch, a few of us had gathered in the side room. Baba does not have lunch. He has one meal of rice and dahl at about 6:00 P.M. after all lovers leave Guruprasad. Sri Dhake and Dr. C.D.D.'s son told Baba some amusing stories. Baba said that they helped to relieve him of his burden. Baba once said, "Highly placed individuals in society get a lot of respect and honor in this gross world. Such fellows would be kicked out from the subtle and the mental worlds if they have no spiritual value. I am the slave of those who love me."

At 1:00 P.M. Baba again came into the assembly hall. Bhajans were sung by several lovers. From Andhra had come two sisters who sang well. Baba said that they go from village to village singing Baba-songs. They have even sung them at public functions in aid of the Defense Fund.
