Dharmarao introduced himself, and Baba jokingly recalled, "You are the one who would have brought about my physical death before the appointed time!" (Dharmarao had dozed off while driving Baba during his Andhra tour earlier that year.)

During the group meeting, one Andhra worker became irritated with someone. Baba corrected him, "I tell you, be calm. If you preach to others to be calm and peaceful and yourself do not remain so, it is hypocrisy. If Baba is God and omniscient, then he knows everything. What is the use then of your long-winded lecture? If Baba is not Baba and does not know anything, what help would it be however best you may try to explain matters from your viewpoint? I know everything because I am in you all. I can assuage only Manikyala Rao's anger [who had been exasperated in the Rajahmundry meeting]; so, be calm and cool. I forgive you."

Bhaskara Raju introduced his bhajan mandali to Baba, who asked them to sing a song. They sang "Namo Meher Baba, Avatar, Namo Dev Deva."

Baba then asked the Andhra lovers to leave, and he himself stood up. With folded hands, he saluted all, and some lovers touched his hands before going.

At 2:30 P.M., the Hamirpur group was called in, accompanied by lovers from Benares, Agra, Allahabad, Kanpur, Jhansi and other northern points. Baba told them, "Do not take as much time as the Andhra group. Introduce yourselves quickly. I know all my lovers, and those who do not love me are also mine. But I want to hear for the last time the names of those here who love me."

Keshav began the introductions. He first introduced a boy named Singh, who had accompanied Baba to Andhra in 1953 and subsequently had run away from his home to join Baba in Dehra Dun. Baba asked Keshav if Singh was behaving normally now. He replied that there was still something lacking.

Baba asked Singh, "Do you know what real love is like?" and then explained, "The flame of love within does not even give out smoke for others to see. When you love me, you burn within yourself, and yet seem cheerful with a broad smile upon your lips. You bear the pangs of separation calmly and quietly. Even a sigh of the pangs of separation is an insult to that love!

"Attend to all your duties; you can still love Baba by dedicating all your good and bad to me. Just as you cover your body with clothes and forget all about the dress you wear all day, similarly dress your soul only once in a day with thoughts of Baba, and Baba will then be all the time with you, even without your paying any further attention."
