The next evening, Baba explained at length:
Tomorrow, all of you write down the seven names of God and learn them by heart after seven days. Then you have to sing from your heart, "Hari, Paramatma, Allah, Ahuramazda, God, Yezdan, Hu." So all must sing it from the heart. The orders that I will give to each will have to be obeyed 100 percent. Try your utmost. You will have helped me by doing your best. If you obey fully, you have helped me fully. If you obey ordinarily, you help ordinarily. Have this very clear.
This one year you will all see me very little. Let this one year of your life be just for obeying orders. It will not help me a bit if you do not obey, and then repent and feel sorry. If I say don't talk ill of one another, it means just that under every circumstance. If you talk ill of anyone once and then feel sorry, that won't mean anything.
So be on guard every moment. Your yoga for one year is to obey orders with all your hearts. [It will be] a supreme sacrifice for some of you, and for Mehera, since she will not be seeing much of me. But obeying the orders I give you will be helping me. Regarding the [men] mandali, some I will send to the mountains, a few to beg. But for you all it is simpler, but more difficult. Difficult because of the orders I just said. If one of you obeys implicitly, as I want you to, then I will be happy.
Changing the topic, Baba mentioned Karim Baba:
What a miracle has happened! This mast who for ten long years did not leave his place, and who people said did not move, has come here! And for ten years people did not hear him utter a word, even those who stay near him. Also many Christians believe in him and give him food. They all told Kaka the same. When Kaka and I went to him in Calcutta, he did not speak. The first two days here he did not speak.
