“”I create things on a firm foundation and then pull them down.
Neither do I want an organization, nor any society. That is exactly what I am afraid could happen. If such centers are allowed to prosper, they form themselves into organizations or societies. For that reason, I create institutions and then dissolve them. The more changes I make, the more changeless I become! My organizations are like the foam which brings unwanted debris up to the surface of the sea, letting the real substance lie beneath, submerged in the depths.
Vishnu's relatives met Baba at noon that day, on their way to Satara. Padri also arrived from Meherabad and had a private meeting with Baba. In the afternoon from four to five o'clock, Baba gave darshan to the public at the men mandali's cottage for the first time during his stay in Panchgani.
The next day, 1 April, while discussing future plans and ideas for a center, Baba revealed some of his own characteristics in working, as well as those of other past Avatars:
“”Vagueness, building plans in the air, regular shifts from one place to another, and changes from one plan to another are the principal traits and characteristics of all the Avatars. If one reads the lives of Avatars like Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad, and if one minutely marks the trend of events throughout their lives, it will be found that they had no definite program or any scheme or organization, except a purpose to spread their teachings and impress upon humanity the worthlessness of the world and worldly life, through the very vagueness of their own plans and schemes.
For ordinary people involved in organizations, definite plans are necessary to maintain the organizations according to the funds available. For this, plans are to be made in advance, all arranged ahead, to establish the organization and conduct it; otherwise, the whole scheme would fail.
But in the case of the Avatar, quite the contrary is true. His methods are strange, peculiar and quite the opposite of the world's. First of all, Avatars do not plan anything, and if at all they do, it is all an outward show, a bluff — all without any sound basis or firm foundation (such as provision of funds, et cetera). All is in the air with the risk of apparent failure at any moment.
