With Quentin trailing behind, Baba roamed about the hillside for half an hour before re-entering the cave.
The summer day was quite hot and the air was still. Kaka, Chanji and Herbert came at 4:30 P.M. An hour later, according to instructions, Quentin called out to Baba. "Baba had a dazed look," Quentin later wrote, "and there was no sign of recognition in his eyes."
After a few moments, Baba stepped toward them and gestured, "How lucky you are that you are the first to speak to me after my seclusion."
Baba then called them into the cave and explained:
Spiritually, a big meeting of spiritual personages took place here the likes of which has never before been held. It is due to the greatest upheaval that is coming for the world. It will be the greatest upheaval of all times.
It was decided in this meeting that I will manifest as my Original Real Self and speak next February. Vast changes everywhere will follow. My circle, which is already formed, will realize me; their duties will commence in different directions. And the changes all over will cause an upheaval in the world which has never before been experienced, as the greatest spiritual revolution of all times takes place.
A member of my circle [Gustadji] will drop his body on becoming Realized.
Masters and Avatars all have their own circles. The circle of the Avatar is always the same [type], appearing and working with him during his previous Avatarhoods; they have different names in different periods, just as the Avatars have. When I was Jesus, for example, two played the roles that Quentin and Herbert fill. When I was Krishna, these two were Narad and Sudama. Certain circle members have the same personality, face, figure and form, but their names are different during the different Avataric periods.
But the circles of Perfect Masters are always different. While a Master's circle consists of twelve members, the Avatar's circle is made up of thirteen members, the extra one being his "Dark Side." The Avatar and his Dark Side are different personalities, but their duties and working are the same.
Besides this, among the apostles of the Avatar, there are really five, but one is a pair of twins [pointing to Herbert and Quentin], so that the circle is of fourteen. These twin apostles, in experience, are two different, separate individuals, but in their work, both are one and the same; meaning, they do the same work and have the same duties.
