not know Telugu or Gujarati but that they were not his mother-tongues and he desired to keep company with some newcomers who had come to see Baba for the first time from South India and Madras and Calcutta.)

Notwithstanding that Baba declared that He would not give any serious talks during these "group-interviews," Baba was in a mood to say the following, in response to some experience which the "writer" narrated to Baba about one of the newcomers.

Baba said: "I want to tell you of the OMNISCIENCE OF GOD. I have been telling others, ‘You should not worry.' Nothing has happened. Nothing will happen. Everything happens now at this moment. This moment is eternal and continues to be eternal; so much so, the next moment will be this moment. The next moment after that will also be this moment. So, in this present moment is embodied all the past and the future. In this very moment, all the past and the future is embodied. You were a child, you grew up, and you became a man. All the years you have passed are embodied in this very moment. Only in Illusion, is there time and space. In Reality there is no such thing as Time and Space; there is no scope for Time and Space. In My Real State, only this moment IS ― the moment eternally IS. Billions of past and future years are embodied in this State of Reality. I know the things that happened billions of years ago, and must know things that are to happen (that will happen) billions of years from now. I am in you all. I am Omniscient. I know what you all will think tomorrow. I say that you need not tell Me anything, how you were, how you felt, how you thought, how you worked, what work you are now doing for Me, etc. If I am omniscient, I must know everything. I am the Omniscient."

With the above exception in the third group, Baba always indulged in jokes. He liked to hear stories from the lovers assembled, such stories as would make all laugh. A few gave certain humorous stories and Baba enjoyed them all. Baba said, "This group meeting is meant for funny talks and funny stories and so that you and I may enjoy each other's company for a few minutes, without the 'headache' of discourses, etc."

In response to a story of a dream, Baba remarked, "All this is a dream. Only, you all do not realize it is a dream."

Some devotees invited Baba to pay a visit to their place, as Baba has not so far paid even single visit there and many lovers wanted to have Baba’s darshan, also Baba was not known there. To this Baba replied: "All are asking Me to come to their respective places. I will go to America in May
