19th October. In the morning some passages were read out by Eruch. One was a passage by Shankara on Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Baba said that it was he who spread the doctrine of Advaita. Swami Vivekananda had translated this passage into English. The gist of it was that Nirvikalpa Samadhi is beyond duality. Only unity exists. Love, lover, and the Beloved merge into One. For one immersed in it, there are no doubts. For him there is no time and space. There is eternal bliss. For him the creation does not exist. The round of births and deaths is ended forever. At the end of the reading Baba said. "All this has been explained in God Speaks."

Another passage from Thomas à Kempis was then read out. He says that God protects the humble. The humble depend upon God and not on man or the world. If you esteem yourself you are not yet advanced spiritually. God alone is everlasting. The more one dies to oneself, the more one lives for God. He that loves, rejoices and is forever free. "Oh Lord, enlarge my love so that I may be dissolved and bathe in Your love." He who is not prepared to suffer and attend to the will of God is not a lover. When you are void of desires you have peace. Forsaking self, resign to the will of God without any restraint. God is the Way whom you must trust and follow. God is Truth supreme. If you follow the Way you shall have eternal life. At the end of this reading, Baba said that there would be no more reading from the notes.

In the afternoon during a game of La Risque, Baba said, "I am over-weighed by the burden of My work and so I come here to play cards with you in order to get some relief."

Harry was sitting outside the meeting hall talking to Padri. He did not know that Baba had come again that afternoon. Baba walked up to where the two were talking. Harry was telling Padri that the "Old Man" (Baba) had not been for a walk since ages. Just then Baba patted him and said, "Come for a walk." Harry was most surprised to find Baba next to him. During the walk Baba remarked, "I am infinitely restless today." After the walk Baba retired for the day.

We talked that evening to one of the mandali who does the duty of night watchman. He said that once when Baba was on tour, he was on night duty at Meherazad. In the dead of night he saw Baba climbing the steps of His house. He at once went and woke up Kaka Baria who is in charge of Meherazad, saying that Baba had returned. All the inmates of the house woke up and came to the bungalow but did not find Baba.
