Gyani Baile & Dolly Baile

Thursday, January 1, 1998
It was after the New Year's party on December 31. After waking up,
first she did her usual puja and meditation. When she sat down for
meditation her attitude was that she did not have anything to ask or say
to God, she felt that whatever needs to be thought of or said will happen
without her effort, God will give or take whatever is right. She just sat
down in a receiving mode. This made Baba happy; he called this an
attitude of surrender. Then Baba said "Have a discipline in meditation.
Wake up at five O' clock. Don't waste time in Tartaka". We still are
looking for the exact meaning of Tartaka.
Further Baba said "Before going to sleep collect your thoughts and
meditate on all the messages you got during the day". "Leave Gyani
alone, but ask kids to give me 5 minutes a day." This meant that on a
daily basis kids should follow some spiritual discipline for at least five
minutes.
Next Baba said "The people who hurt you in the past will raise you to
a height. It will be all good. But no need to get elated, take it with a calm
attitude."
"No need to go to pilgrimage with anyone. Don't even think about it.
You have other important role to play." This comment was related to a
conversation that took place in the party yesterday, where one of the
friends who had returned from a hiking trip in the Himalayan
pilgrimages of India was suggesting that we as a group of friends make a
plan to go together to this pilgrimage.
Right after that Baba said "Stay away from XYZs (this was a
reference to a very close friend of ours)" The 'XYZ' happens to be a last
name of two different couples. We had closer friendship with one of the
couples, and that couple was not even present in the party so we assumed
that Baba must be referring to the couple that was in the party yesterday.
It was later when we found out that Baba's directive applied to both, but
mainly for the one who was closer to us.
