passengers, but it is now found that the passengers going by the special train are only about 400 and a little less. The deficit is about Rs. 3000 or it. least over Rs. 2000/-. Whether it is Rs. 3000 or 2000 or even 1000, it is a rather serious deficit. While I was coming to the camp from Pimpalgaon this morning, Vishnu was standing at the roadside ready to meet Me at the earliest moment and Vishnu was seen in a perturbed state, actually trembling. I knew what the matter was and told Vishnu, 'Vishnu, you have been with me from childhood. A deficit of Rs. 3000, compared with your love for Me, is nothing at all. Even if the deficit be 300 crores of Rupees, it is nothing at all, when compared with your love. Do not worry about it and forget all about it.' This is what I told Vishnu and also Adi. Now, none of you here (the Sahavasis) should worry about it at all. Neither worry about the deficit nor worry about Vishnu being worried. Adi gave a solution. He suggested that we could even now cancel the special train and allow all to proceed in the normal trains available. I did not approve of this suggestion. I want the special train to come here. It'll come at the railway line just a few feet away from here and pick you all up, together with your luggage. No need to go all the way to the Ahmednagar station. None should put even a pie towards this huge deficit. I want you all to concentrate on Me and love Me more and more. I will be satisfied with your Love; I do not want you to worry and spend money towards this deficit. I will pay and bear the deficit Myself."
Baba continued: "Now, we have solved the three matters aforesaid, that is, (a) Pada-pooja, (b) Love offerings to Me in cash (money), and (c) deficit regarding the special train arranged for the Sahavasis of Andhra that is going to Bezwada (Vijayawada) from here. But there is one more important problem to be solved and this, I cannot solve; I want it to be solved by you all. I had programmed for two meetings, namely (a) Workers' meeting and (b) Group meetings. In the last Sahavas there were two such meetings. But time is limited this week. Tomorrow is the Birthday and the only time we have left is this afternoon. Only about 2 or 3 hours are available. I want the groups each around Me for about 15 minutes, just to have a chat and mix freely, not for any discourses or serious talks. Just cracking jokes at each other, I at you, and you at Me. I also like the workers' meeting and it is also very important. But the time is very limited. Regarding work, I find dissensions amongst the workers everywhere. I do not like dissension amongst workers while they are assembled. It takes nearly five hours for Me to clear up the conflict and dissension.
