Slowly but surely you must shed prejudices and get disentangled from the superficial distinctions. Slowly but surely you must tread the path to the Formless and Nameless One.
When you enthrone the Nameless One in your mind-heart, you do not necessarily put an end to the game of duality. You have to play a role in the drama of creation, without being caught up in duality. The unity of life has to be experienced and expressed in the very midst of its diverse experiences. All life is one, and all divisions are imaginary.
Be ye established in this eternal Truth I bring!
The Marathi version of this message was read out by Justice Puranik, and the Hindi by Manek Mehta. Being a Parsi, Manek did not know Hindi well, but he wanted to read it nevertheless. His conduct and appearance (he had long hair and dressed in white) were peculiar, and his pronunciation made all laugh. Finding them snickering, he pleaded: " Shanti [peace] , shanti. "
The students only laughed more and bawled out derisively, "Sit down, Auntie!"
Baba, too, laughed but motioned to the crowd to remain quiet. The students obeyed, and Manek was somehow able to finish the message. Seeing Baba laugh, the students found that he was on their level and felt one with him.
During the singing which followed, Baba began making hand signs to Pankhraj, who answered in the same way. While Baba was in Nagpur, he had given Pankhraj the duty of going to Deshmukh's home every day to collect Vishnu's daily telegram. Whenever Baba was out on tour, for darshans or mast work, Vishnu was instructed to send a cable every day to Baba about the women's health in Aurangabad. In Nagpur, the telegrams were being received in care of Deshmukh's address.
For three days the telegrams were received as expected, but on the fourth, Pankhraj found that none had been received at the office. Baba had asked Pankhraj the reason and he had replied, "I've made inquiries, but no telegram from Aurangabad has been received."
Baba said, "Vishnu would never fail to send the cable."
"This is wartime," Pankhraj commented, "and military communications are always given priority over private ones. Maybe that is why we have not received anything today."
Baba directed him to go back to the telegraph office and inquire further.
"There must be some mistake somewhere," Baba concluded.
Pankhraj went, but could get no closer to solving the mystery.
