1814NASIK & CANNES1937

Think of me in everything you do. Eat, dance, but forget yourself in the action and think of me instead. This is union through action. The less you think of yourself and the more you think of Baba, the sooner the ego goes and Baba remains. When you — ego — go entirely, I am one with you. So bit by bit, you have to go. Today your nose, tomorrow your ears, then your eyes, your hands, everything.

Think of me when you eat, sleep, see and hear. Enjoy everything, but think it is all Baba. Baba enjoys it. Baba is eating it. Sleep soundly in Baba, and when you wake up remember it is Baba getting up. Keep this one thought constantly with you. If you do wrong, then think it is Baba doing wrong. If you get a pain, think it is Baba getting a pain. Then it will be all the time Baba ... Try to forget yourself and do all for Baba. Let it be Baba all the time!

On the 1st of April starts this new life. Try to forget yourself and do all as Baba and you will enjoy what you do. It is really all bliss — all love. It is we who have created misery. So let us be happy. How? By not being bound by anything.

Can you picture me driving a car? Can you picture me dancing? When you dance, then it is Baba dancing. When you drive a car, then it is Baba driving. Baba does everything. When you blow your nose, it is Baba blowing his nose. ... Think always of Baba. It is the easy and natural way.

Baba had directed the Westerners to do an hour of meditation each morning. On 2 April, Baba urged them to take the meditation seriously: "Try to do it very, very seriously as if your very spiritual life depended on it, not merely as exercise, drill or a bore — or like taking castor oil. Clear?"

He told them, "Once you experience a tiny bit of what I intend giving, it will be bliss just to sit and concentrate on me. Until then try to follow literally what I have told each separately."

Baba left Nasik early the next morning accompanied by Chanji and the driver, reaching Meherabad at 7:15 A.M. Charles Purdom's new book The Perfect Master had recently been published in England and some copies had arrived.  In the car, Chanji discussed translating Purdom's book into Gujarati. Chanji also suggested having the mandali and Westerners write of their experiences. Baba liked the idea and told him, "Remind me about it when I return to Nasik."

Shireenmai, Beheram, Perin and their children arrived at Meherabad on Sunday, 4 April 1937 and saw Baba.

Baba returned to Nasik on the 6th, and two days later took the Westerners to Anand Valley, eight miles away. They left Nasik at 7:30 A.M. in three cars, one driven by Freiny and one by Elizabeth. It was a beautiful spot for a picnic, on the banks of the Godavri River surrounded by mango trees, and Baba was in a very happy, playful mood.
