Baba asked about their health and then mentioned that Marion Florsheim and Mrs. Bahjejian had their passports and money stolen from their hotel rooms. He asked, “Isn’t it surprising Energy has lost something?”
She replied, “If I lost everything, I could stay here!”
[On 4th Nov] — When Baba heard that Marion Florsheim and Mrs. Bahjejian got back their passports from the thieves, he commented, “Nothing goes anywhere, but it comes to me. Remember that you wanted to give me four hundred rupees? The thief took away exactly four hundred rupees. So, now it is settled.”

Baba inquired who got wet yesterday and remarked, “No matter how hard it rains or blows, stick to your posts.”
Baba quoted this couplet of Hafiz:
My Dear Children,
Your coming to me from different places and from across oceans has pleased me. And although no sacrifice to be near me is too great, I am touched by the sacrifice that some of you have made to come here.
Those who have not been able to come to me should not feel disheartened, for my love is with them as always, and especially so at this time. I know how they are longing to be near me even for an hour, and how helpless they are in their circumstances.
You have come from great distances, not for some convention or conference, but to enjoy my company and feel afresh my love in your hearts. It is a coming together of children of East and West in the house of their Father.
All religions of the world proclaim that there is but one God, the Father of all in creation. I am that Father.
I have come to remind all people that they should live on Earth as the children of one Father until my grace awakens them to the realization that they are all one without a second, and that all divisions and conflict and hatred are but a shadow-play of their own ignorance.
Although all are my children, they ignore the beauty and simplicity of this Truth by indulging in hatreds, conflicts and wars that divide them in enmity, instead of living as one family in their Father’s house. Even among you who love me and accept me for what I am, there is sometimes lack of understanding of one another’s hearts.
Patiently have I suffered these things in silence for all my children. It is time that they become aware of the presence of their Father in their midst and of their responsibility toward Him and themselves. I shall break my silence and with my Word of words arouse my children to realize in their lives the indivisible existence which is GOD.
Throughout the years, I have been giving many messages and discourses. Today, I simply want to tell you who are gathered here in my love to shut the ears of your minds and open the ears of your hearts to hear my Word when I utter it.
Do not seek my blessing, which is always with you, but long for the day when my grace will descend on all who love me. Most blessed are they who do not even long for my grace, but simply seek to do my Will.
