Says Baba, A.D. 1961— “I am the One who is always lost and found among mankind. It is your love for yourself that loses me and it is your love for me that finds me. Love me above everything, for now while I am in your midst, I am most easily found as I really am."

- My mind is like the ocean; all the filth and good of the universe is absorbed in it. You think good; I absorb it. You think bad, I absorb it. Like water in a small pool, if the filth gets into it, it pollutes the water. But if these good and bad thoughts become absorbed in the ocean, they are just washed away because the ocean is so tremendous. Your limited mind becomes stagnant with a few bad thoughts, but even universal bad thoughts cannot affect My oceanlike mind.
- Do everything, but don't worry. Worrying binds. When one is beyond worrying, one is happy. But you must consciously not worry. The stone does not worry — but unconsciously. It is all fun, a game — happiness — if you don't worry.
- Tiger is Baba. Everything is Baba. If you see only the form — it is a tiger. If you see the inner soul — it is Baba. Why be afraid of Baba?
- The habit of criticizing our fellow-beings is a bad one. At the back of it often lies self-righteousness, conceit and a false sense of superiority. Sometimes it indicates envy, or a desire for retaliation. Those who criticize should first look to themselves. They will find greater faults within themselves than in others.
