I tell you all this because I love you and want you to understand that only implicit faith will help you understand matters and see you through all thick and thin.
Nevertheless, Garrett was now ready to return to the West. He said he wished to return to Hollywood and work hard to earn money to fund Baba's ashrams and film projects. Because of his insistence, Baba agreed to send him, promising to help him in his endeavors.
Discussions began about building another bungalow in Nasik to house additional Westerners who were to come there. On 13 March 1937, Baba gathered the Western group and stated:
I am in everybody, with everybody, and near to some. Last time, we talked about building the new bungalow, and it all centered around the fact that we desperately needed money for it. I told you all to think about it, how to arrange it, but I feel sure none of you thought about it! Consequently, I had to do the thinking myself, as to how to have the money for my future work. And today, I solved the problem by ordering Garrett to go back to Hollywood and work and send me the money he earns. A most needed help, the only concrete help, because the Avatar is always poor!
Men such as the Aga Khan and [Adolf] Hitler have lots of money, but the Avatar is always poor — always in need of money. Always the inner circle helps the Avatar, so we send Garrett to Hollywood for three purposes: to send money, to spread my message, for I will work spiritually through him, and to work toward the film. The film must and has to come out. Therefore, for these three purposes Garrett goes to Hollywood for fourteen months. Now he is first going to Panchgani for seven days and will stay in the cave in Tiger Valley where I was for months before.
Baba ended by saying, "It is better to give than to receive — always in everything. In the long run, one finds it better to give."
The following day, the 14th, Baba further discussed the building plan:
Let us finish the bungalow business today, because tomorrow there will be no time. The building will cost Rs.16,000 and the furniture will Rs.8,000: a total of Rs.24,000.
