1. Allah Achha karega (God will do good).
2. Allah (God) Malik is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our Protector.
3. Allah (God) is the sole Dispenser and Protector. Think of Him
always. He will take care of you. Surrender to His feet with body,
mind, wealth and speech (i. e.) completely and then see what He does.
4 Allah (God) will give you plenty and He will do you all good.
5. Allah (God) is My Doctor.
6. All the insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable world is
My body or Form.
7. All persons do not see or realize Brahma in their life time.
8. Alright let Me know whether you both had a chitchat, and if so,
tell Me all that you talked about.
9. As you go on doing My meditation, your Vrittis (thoughts) will be
one pointed and the distinction between the Dhyata (Meditator), Dhyana
(Act of Meditation), Dhyeya (Thing meditated upon) will be lost and
the meditator will be one with the Brahma.
10. Alright, do not go, we should mean well and do well. Whatever is
destined to happen, will happen.
11. Am I not always with you ? Then do you offer Me anything before you eat ?

with you for safe custody; it will be of use to you.

"Samata'' (equality) towards all.

30; 60; 100; 200 and ultimately Rs. 700/- P. M. But in his prosperity,
