I will then take that water and I will Myself wash My own feet (do Pada-pooja Myself to My own feet) with My own hands. Thereafter, all of you may take that water as "Prasad." This will be tantamount to everyone of you washing my feet, that is, doing Pada-pooja to My feet. I hope this satisfies you all."

"Now, for the second matter, that is, love-offerings, ― I have one solution. Those who have intended or decided to keep cash (money) as love-offering at My feet, keep to your decision about parting with the money, whatever each decided to give (whether 100, or 50 or 10 or 1 rupee).

"Now, we have disposed of the two main matters connected with tomorrow's program. There is a third matter, on the worldly plane. This morning Adi called on Me at 7:00 o'clock at Pimpalgaon and looked all worried and perturbed; he said that a mistake had been committed. Vishnu, who was in charge, was unusually upset and worried. The mistake was in regard to the "Special train" arrangements to Andhra from here, for the return journey of Andhra Sahavasis.
