Regarding the Avesta, Baba further revealed, "Zoroaster was an Avatar and gave divine messages, but these are not the Avesta, especially as it is known today."
Baba continued to visit Mani at the hospital and receive daily reports about her condition. On the 10th, he remarked that Mani's recovery had created a "deadlock" in his activities, as he wished to leave Mysore but could not, until Mani recovered.
On 14 April, Baba discussed matters with the mandali and stated, "I am Paramatma [God] and within a fraction of a second I can do away with all these hardships. Mani is my sister, could I not make her well? But though she is my sister, I do not apply [the power of] my mind to her and similarly for all others close to me. Therefore, I have to resort to worldly remedies and have to praise others to get my work done!"
Addressing Chanji, Baba continued, "I send you to the doctors often, and you have to pamper them. Chhagan's health is now so bad, he wants to rest for three months. But at the same time I know that no one can do his duty. And so I have to pamper him!
"Why this indulgence? Because I need them. Although I am God Almighty, I have certain requirements for my work. Everyone is dependent on somebody else for something. But there is a vast difference — more than between heaven and earth — between your need and mine. Your needs exist out of selfishness, while mine is selfless — devoid of any selfish motive. My work is for the betterment of others, and because it is for others' good, I don't mind even indulging people.
"Because of my duty [Universal work], I pay attention to Chhagan's health and have arranged for his treatment. If I had no duty, I would not have cared even if Chhagan had died!
"My need is a boon for others and a harassment for me! You can see this from the attitude of the doctor. I tolerate him humbly, and have also instructed you to be humble."
On Thursday, 16 April 1936, Baba continued upon the subject of Mysore and explained: "At first, this place offered so many attractions — pleasant weather, beautiful surroundings, comfortable living quarters (especially for the ladies), and we all liked to stay here.
"Then unexpectedly came Mani's ear trouble and all work is left at a standstill. In short, we are literally stuck here.
