SOUL SATISFYING STATEMENTS

Bili Eaton

 
"Keep your hearts clean with all that Baba decides. Do not keep back anything. There should not be any lingering misunderstanding after this meeting. Everything should be clean and cleared up. If you all have faith, belief and love that I am the Christ, which I am, then you must obey Me, you must love Me. If you are not prepared to obey Me or you have doubts and wish to carry out your own will, then you must leave Me. If you love Me, you must hold fast to Me.

"This morning, I lectured the mandali for one-half hour on having breakfast — having meals twice. We should have had our tea or coffee in the morning, then our lunch in the afternoon. We called for a second breakfast in the morning. When I saw the breakfast on the table, I gave them a lecture: 'If you want to be a help, then you must not use money that was contributed!' In the morning in India, we have one cup of tea. For lunch, we have curry, rice and gravy. In the evening, we have four chapatis. (Indian bread) and one vegetable. On Friday, I ask them to eat only once and keep a fast the rest of the day. This morning, I became annoyed with the mandali because they wanted a good breakfast today.

"The mandali are near Baba, knowing Baba is the Christ. Having that, they must not call for breakfast. Most of the people of the world, all they have is only one square meal a day. In India, many don't even have that. If you want to stick to Me, you must have a clean heart.

"There is no use sometimes having faith and sometimes having doubt. It is best to leave Me then, and you can lead your life in the world and be free. If you want to love Me, you should not try to create confusion among yourselves. All of you love Me. But, by loving each other, you will be loving Me the best. The best is to love each other.

"If one is to say something behind the back of the other, then how can you tell the world about My Love? If you cannot all love Me as I want you all to love Me, it is best not to speak to the world about Me. Let's put an end to all hypocrisy. Let hypocrisy be completely wiped out from your hearts. I would love to see that. Someone says something, the other person naturally feels about it. Then the other person tells someone else what the other has said about him or her. You should have one heart &amdash; a clean heart. We are one family.

"Baba wants you all to work harmoniously with clean hearts, without prejudices. Baba will be leaving you all tomorrow. Today is the last day. Let us ask pardon of God for our misunderstandings, for unnecessarily hurting the feelings of others, for our faults. May God give all of you one percent of the infinite patience of Baba."
