I made Baba lie down. In the meantime, the doctor arrived and said that Baba was no more… but I never felt that Baba had left. I continued to say, “Baba is here; everyone’s beloved Baba is still with us, and will continue to be with us!” Baba had filled limitless power in me. I was calling everyone on the telephone, saying, “It was fixed in drama. Do you remember the drama? Baba has become avyakt. 

Whoever wants to come is welcome. No one should shed tears; Baba is still with us.” Children, don’t worry. Baba went to the subtle region to prepare for you children. By placing his hand in mine, Baba had increased my courage. I was unshakable. Not one question came as to ‘what has happened?’ or ‘what will happen now?’ Neither did my eyes become wet with tears nor did my heart become heavy. I had complete faith that our study would continue until the end.

On 21st January, the final rites were performed for our beloved Baba’s body: for he who had given us so much more love, affection and sustenance than any :lokik father, in whose lap we played as we grew up from small to big, through whom we found God, received blessings and who filled us with several specialities.
