Sweet Baba was always sending Dadi on unlimited service, sometimes to one place and sometimes to another. He made Dadi an instrument to open several centres: some in Delhi, in Mumbai, in Kolkata and in Bihar. He even suddenly sent me to Japan. Baba’s blessings were always with me: “Child, be ever-ready every time.” There used to be one signal: Child, you have to go there from here, and I would say ‘Ji Baba’. Baba also used to give some or another inspiration for service on a daily basis, and would follow this by a direction.
Before 18th January, I was staying at the Gamdevi Centre in Mumbai. I had just returned a few days before with a group, and was collecting another group from Mumbai to return to Madhuban for two more days. Didi (Manmohini) had been sent to Allahabad for the half kumbhmela, which was taking place on 14th January for the festival of Sankaranti. When I arrived in Madhuban, Baba said, “Child, you have just come. Stay for four days, and then you can go.” In those days, Baba did not usually allow me to stay for more than two days. I had suggested once or twice that I could stay for an extra couple of days, but Baba would say: “Why do you want to stay? Do you not have any service to do? Why should you stay here? No, go on service; fill the cloud and go and shower.” So, when this time Baba personally asked me to stay, I said, ‘Ji Baba’. I came on 14th January and was supposed to go back on 16th, but Baba said, “Daughter, let the group go. Didi isn’t here, so stay for a few more days.” Didi used to look after the entire activities of Madhuban. Baba made us children experienced in every aspect. For the first time in yagya history, in all Baba’s tapasvi life, Baba did not speak murli on the morning of 18th January. Baba’s health had not been good since the morning, even though he was stabilized in the most elevated stage. Child, what will the doctor do; I am talking to the Supreme Surgeon.
When I suggested to call the doctor, Baba said, in great intoxication, “Child, what will the doctor do? I’m talking to the Supreme Surgeon!” Later, he said, “Come, let me write a letter to the children.” Baba took out his red pen. Baba’s beautiful letters, and replies to our letters, used to pull our hearts. Baba wrote: “Children, always move along in unity, stay in the remembrance of One and always keep the :shaktis (sisters) at the fore. Only then will there be success in service…”
