The Master's words of reprimand "cut deeper than a dagger," noted Chanji in his diary, and he lost his temper and could not help but think of leaving Baba and going away.
Pacifying Chanji, Baba explained, "I know that you cannot spare the time. But you should understand that I do not say anything without reason. You are under the impression that you labor day and night and that no one else can do the work you are doing. This is a mistake on your part. I also keep some people without work to do and I have my reasons for that, too. Even while apparently not doing anything, they do a lot which you cannot see and would not be able to understand."
On 21 April 1934, Baba began looking through a Picture Book of Evolution , which they had brought from Bombay. Over the next few days, Baba marked certain pages and dictated points for a chart he wished made. Cards were played at night for relaxation.
On the 25th, Baba spoke about taking action without caring about the results, referring in particular to Gandhi:
Even a great soul like Gandhi worries, because he wants results. One must sincerely try to do his duties, but the results must always be left with God. Worrying about the results is no good and of no use. If a person wishes to do anything for others, he must do it sincerely. And having done it, he should not worry about the results, for results are not in human hands. It is for humans to do, for God to ordain.
[To remain aloof from results] is not difficult, but men do not try. Because it is human nature to think of the results of one's actions, however, it does not mean one should worry! Man must think, but he must not worry.
Try to attribute all your acts to God and let results be His. Gandhi says he does everything for God and attributes it to Him, but he still worries because he cares about the results.
Baba worked in seclusion on Nandi Hill during certain hours every day and took a walk around the hill in the evening. On the 21st, the nosy gardener of the bungalow happened to glance at Baba through a slit in the window.
Seeing him, Baba was very upset and informed the mandali, "This place is not good for my seclusion. I will complete the work at some other place in Bangalore."
