music helped the people express their feelings towards Baba when they came to Him and received His blessing. He embraced each one at times, but at the end of the day there wasn't enough time and the people would just file past him. He usually broke His own rule with children and would embrace them or give them a kiss. One time I was in tears watching the people pour out their feelings to Him. It made me realize how fortunate I was to be sitting next to His couch, especially when some of these people had to wait hours in the hot sun to see Him just for a few seconds. I felt kind of guilty at times.

Another thing that impressed me were the children there with Him. You never saw such obedience. Americans would be amazed if their children obeyed them the way these children obey Baba. They obey out of pure love, not because they are made to do anything; they'd do anything for Baba. There are twins there whom I liked very much, and I asked them if Baba gave them any special instructions. They said, "Oh, yes. Baba gives us a complete schedule from the time we get up in the morning until we go to sleep." They also said that little boys like themselves (they are about 14 years old) shouldn't be running around late and getting into trouble, that they should be home studying, and when Baba tells them to do something, well, they just have to do it! I've never heard anything like it from any other children. In fact I never said it in my life! That’s the way children obey Him. The love and respect they have for Him is something you'd just have to see.

Not only the children, but the grownups too. After all, grownups are children too, only they're grown up! They too have great obedience. They do whatever He says. If He says go jump off a cliff, they'd do it because they're not worried, they feel everything's still going to be all right. You can understand by the way Baba treats them why they'll do all this for Him. In fact, I can't say I'd be any different, now. You have to get a personal contact with Him. I mean, He is the Avatar, there's no question about it. I felt pretty sure before I met Him that He was. But I felt I had to get my own contact with Him before I could really make up my mind 100%.

There is no one who manipulates people the way He does, like a child does his dolls. He is absolutely the greatest psychologist you could ever find. When you're with Him you not only can see how He manipulates the people but also how He manipulates the circumstances around them.
