On December 11, 1968 Baba dictated this message for his 75th birthday the following year [25 Feb 1969], but Adi was instructed not to print it and circulate it until after January:
“To love me for what I may give you is not loving me at all. To sacrifice anything in my cause to gain something for yourself is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love. He who loves me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see me as I am.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELOVED BABA!
