Pray, my brothers, for the advent of a world full of love. You see, it has not been too hard for you today. You must consider these contacts in utmost relaxation, without fearing to be not up to them. One attitude only is appropriate; there too, be completely surrendered. Let love which is inside you rise up and spread like an intoxicating perfume." The Medium: "O Babuji, help me. Make me become only love."
