Three: The Art of Discipleship 101<br />

macy of give and take of love between the lovers and the Beloved.<br />

There is no need to explain this give and take of love. To create<br />

an atmosphere of explanations and discourses is to mar the dignity<br />

of love which is established only in the closest of intimacy.<br />

How do I participate in the Sahavas I bow down to<br />

myself. I embrace myself. It is I who smile, who weep: it is <strong>Baba</strong><br />

who sits here on the dais seat and it is <strong>Baba</strong> who squats on the<br />

ground in the tent. <strong>Baba</strong> meets ‘<strong>Baba</strong>’: <strong>Baba</strong> consoles ‘<strong>Baba</strong>,’<br />

pets ‘<strong>Baba</strong>,’ chides ‘<strong>Baba</strong>.’ It is all <strong>Baba</strong>, <strong>Baba</strong>, <strong>Baba</strong>. Such is my<br />

experience of participation in the Sahavas.<br />

Drink deep at the fountain of love, but do not lose consciousness!<br />

If you can but taste even a drop of this love – what a<br />

wonderful experience it will be! Have you any idea what this<br />

Sahavas is He who approaches me with a heart full of love, has<br />

my Sahavas. After I drop this body and my passing away from<br />

your midst, many things will be said about this Sahavas. Take<br />

fullest advantage of this opportunity in the living presence of the<br />

<strong>Avatar</strong>. Forget everything else but my Sahavas and concentrate<br />

all your attention on me. I am the Ancient One.<br />

Seven Sahavas Sayings<br />

Desire for nothing except desirelessness.<br />

Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.<br />

Want nothing and you will have everything.<br />

Seek not to possess anything but to surrender everything.<br />

Serve others with the understanding that in them you<br />

are serving me.<br />

Be resigned completely to my will and my will will be<br />

yours.
