Yet, they do take the risk and indulge in the game, but their schemes hang in the air! And even if their schemes are going well and are on a sound basis, they may destroy them any moment. Such plans and schemes are created for some definite purpose as a means to a certain end. No sooner the end is achieved, the Avatars and Sadgurus will not continue running them, however flourishing they might be. Once their purpose is served, they are dropped. If the Avatars and Sadgurus prepared their schemes on a safe, firm, sound, permanent basis, what would the difference be between them and ordinary human beings?
None of the past Avatars like Krishna, Jesus or Muhammad ever did this. Their lives and work are all full of hectic movements and gestures that were entirely vague, with no sound basis behind them in the material sense, except a great purpose which every Sadguru and Avatar has, which is their mission in life; that is, to depict and prove the transitoriness and falseness of the world and all its things, through the very vagueness of their own moves and schemes. Thereby they turn to sound, solid causes of the Life Eternal and its attainment through a spiritual life. By the capricious plans and vacillating ways of the Masters, they prove that this changing world and everything in it is illusion! They then lead the aspirants toward the stable and lasting values of the spiritual life and guide them toward Realization.
Krishna was either occupied with playing with the gopis or thinking of war. Jesus too had no definite plan — reread the Sermon on the Mount. Muhammad was absolutely vague, always on the run, to the extent of one marriage here and one there, and so on. All vague, but all the same with a definite precise purpose behind it.
I, too, am like them! I build on sand or in the air, planning schemes without at times a penny in my pocket or without any definite arrangement for future maintenance if started at all. And even when established, I break it up, or abandon it. Plans were laid for Meherabad, the school, ashram, hospital, the Nasik Retreat — all were well planned, but all were broken up and pulled down the instant the purpose was served, as I alone know.
But people cannot grasp it and misunderstand. That is how the Avatar's work is always misunderstood and misjudged by the world. The work of the Avatar always goes unappreciated in his lifetime. So it is with mine.
