A RESPONSE TO THIS LANGUAGE OF THE HEART

 
Before departure from Orai to Ichhaura [a village in Hamirpur district] Avatar of the age Beloved Meher Baba gave an important divine message...

At about six in the morning of February 3rd 1954, before leaving dharamshala Baba was pleased to give the following important and first message of the tour:

"God does not listen to the language of tongue or the mind: — He listens and responds to the language of the heart — the song of love for God, the Beloved.

"To love God, we have to keep our selves ever present before Him and never be absent from Him. While discharging all our duties, thinking all thoughts, speaking all words, doing all deeds, we have to remember Him as the source of every one and every thing."

Baba above words expressed mostly through His simple lively gestures formed a theme which was to be repeated throughout darshan programs, and perhaps this was an indication as well as to whole the darshan tour all about. For Baba's visit to Hamirpur was itself a response to this language of the heart of His lovers there.

He was personally going to them so that they could learn to remain with Him all the more in their hearts. Baba, as the Beloved, was not only responding to their songs of love for Him but He was also bringing them new melodies to sing. After that Baba indicated to leave for Ichhaura.
