The beginning of 1971 was conspicuous because of its auspiciousness for devotees in Bombay who had the benefit of Baba's immediate presence there.
In the evening of the first day of January, Baba addressed a public meeting in the compound of Dharmakshetra; the sea of humanity seemed to over run its precincts.
John Hislop is inseparable from paper and pen whenever he is in the August Presence; he jots down notes of what he hears on spiritual matters from Baba.
On this occasion, Hislop posed two questions:
"What does Baba mean to me, as a person born and educated in a foreign country? And what does Baba mean to the subtler aspect of me which has no nationality?"
These questions were answered by himself when he went on to state, "He is the Lord of the heart. He has removed from my heart the hardness accumulated during the years and made it fresh, new and joyous."
The second question he answered, saying: "Baba's Divinity is an overwhelming and incomprehensible mystery. He is the Supreme Teacher. He guides us to Liberation."
Blessing the devotees, Baba told them to pray for peace and concord amongst communities and nations. Mankind must learn to live happily as one human family.
