I have come to reform you; I won't leave you until I do that. Even if you get away before I do that, don't think you can escape Me; I will hold on to you. I am not worried if you leave Me, for I am not anxious that there should be a huge gathering! Who gave hand-written invitation to everyone present here? People come, on their own, in thousands - you attach yourselves to Me! I am unattached. I am attached only to the task. But be assured of one thing. Whether you come to Me or not, you are all in Me. I have the love of a thousand mothers. I love each one of you and protect you always. Whenever I appear to be angry, remember, it is only love in another form. I do not have even an iota of anger in Me. I express My disappointment when you do not shape up as I expect.
How do we get into the text? We can ask ourselves, what it means to me being reformed and think about it and maybe I will get aware that I have never really thought about it and what does it mean when Swami is telling that to us, how does it change for me?
Is it a promise that he will not leave us until he reformed us? Is it comforting or no if we think it over? That is how we get closer to our feelings and thoughts and he is telling us even if we go away even before he did it, there is no way we can escape. How do we feel about it, good or rather not good?
In Prasanthi listening to Baba’s words is rather comforting and it feels good.
We can ask ourselves how it feels to hear that he is not worried that we leave him and he doesn’t care if there is a big gathering and as we know it was always big. It was not important to him that so many came to see him, he was not attached to them.

He is not attached on us, we can go and come, it doesn't matter to him. That is what I think when I listen to it and think it over and what would you think? We cannot escape, he is the higher self, it tells me if I see him at the outside I see something wrong, he should be part of my higher self and how do we get there?

Nobody of us got ever a hand-written invitation. We went when we were called inside and it was always special to be called inside, to get in touch with him and we went to him.
When I got first in touch with him, it was in meditation, there was a fine feeling of love and divinity in the heart and I had to go and see him. I was looking for answers to my dream insights and I didn’t even know that these were insights, but I knew I had to get the answer and he was the right address, but still the answers didn’t come that easily, because they get reflected in the dream stage.
I had to learn to listen to him to get the reflection and by that I got aware of the reality reflected in the dream stage.
And once he called me in my ex's dream and I had to and make peace with Swami, he had said that in his dream. How glad I was that he had said that.
It was nice to go to him and to stay with him for four months before the daughter had to go to school and we never came back, before we left he already disturbed the peace again. But afterwards it was no more that easy to go for a visit, she had not that much school holidays anymore and we had the parents in Spain and we went for a visit in Summer and we just couldn’t go to Prasanthi anymore.
That is how the focus grew inside and it was more in dreams.
He was holding up a book and that is how I got into writing and at the beginning I didn’t know what to write and I had to find out and that is how he began from the inside to guide.
First discrimination, second seeing it in our own life, third going on no matter what obstacles are there. (Baba)
Most of the time I was writing and I didn’t understand what had happened and there were still no answers. In the meantime I tried about everything, only after he said ‘engaged’ and ‘that he would get me a new job’ and I began to write to someone, it began to make sense, because he said I should use his words. How do we use his words, in thinking over the thought for the day it was possible to use his words and to think it over and when thinking it over the association in our mind is happening by itself, it begins to reflect on it in the background of our consciousness and things come up, we don’t even know why, we just do it and go for it and as it turned out that is how we got into contemplation. We can try to do it on some scriptures, but if it is too much text we will get tired or oversee half of it and we get the wisdom really by a living master. And that is also the meaning of it when he is telling us that we are all part of him. There is that oneness, the over-soul we prepare the ground to get one with.
But be assured of one thing. Whether you come to Me or not, you are all in Me. I have the love of a thousand mothers. I love each one of you and protect you always. Whenever I appear to be angry, remember, it is only love in another form. I do not have even an iota of anger in Me. I express My disappointment when you do not shape up as I expect.
He reflects the highest level of the Veda, the principle of the ‘I am that’ and we try to get aware of it.
But be assured of one thing. Whether you come to Me or not, you are all in Me.
It is a challenge for us to realize that oneness. We don’t understand it if we don’t have an experience of oneness, it means we are all the same self and without that self-experience we don’t get it.
I have the love of a thousand mothers. I love each one of you and protect you always. Whenever I appear to be angry, remember, it is only love in another form. I do not have even an iota of anger in Me. I express My disappointment when you do not shape up as I expect.
If we think it over we actually feel the problem that we cannot understand it and that it seems too high or too much or too incredible that there should be oneness if we see only differences.
We meditate and by that we transcend the mind and we purify the mind, but a pure mind is good, but to get the right answers, we have to listen it over and as he said not long ago, we follow the shadow, it is that what is coming up as he said, follow the master, fight to the end and finish the game. In following the master we get aware of insights, there will be more insights and they don’t make sense on the mind level, therefore, we have to go on listening to his words to get the reflection in the dream stage reflected in his words and that is how it goes on and grows into contemplation and by growth we mean the expansion of consciousness to the extent that we can realize in the inner view that we are one and there is nothing but that one alone.
It needs to be experienced and when we have the experience, it needs to be contemplated in the light of his divine words, he is the knower, he knows it, we don’t know it, but our self-knowledge grows in looking in that divine mirror and getting aware that we are not different from it.
