Eventually it was decided that Ghani should as soon as possible have 5,000 copies printed of the six Urdu articles he had written, and deliver them to Babadas and Vibhuti for general distribution.
Giving his account of travels during the year, Vibhuti reported that he had gone to various places from Dehra Dun to Lucknow and had informed people about Baba. He, too, needed Hindi and Marathi literature.
Baba then asked Daulat Singh about his work in Kashmir and remarked that he was very influential there:
"He is a doctor and also a municipal commissioner. Daulat Singh's love and devotion are unequaled and his work is of a high, noble standard."
Dr. Singh answered, "Strange is my Master, and stranger are his ways! I have done no service of his in the real sense and yet out of his infinite mercy, he praises me before the mandali. I talk informally with and inform my friends and patients about Baba, and show his photographs to them. When they again ask me about him, I tell them. There are some, however, who are not impressed by my words." Daulat Singh suggested that the article "The Avatar" be printed (from the first issue of Meher Baba Journal ).
Baba asked Ghani about the Muslims' general feeling toward the Avatar. Ghani replied, "The Mohammedans do not believe in God taking human form."
Regarding Ghani's answer, Baba stated:
There are two points among the Muslims which must be carefully noted. As a rule, before believing in a saintly personality, they insist on proof of his saintliness by way of miracles. For them shariat [outward religious ceremonies] is the be all and end all of everything, the foundation of their faith. Again, they regard it as impossible for a human being to be God.
Now before I draw my divine sword, if we are to prepare these Muslims to overcome these obstacles, we must do it with great care and tact. But while doing it, you must not confirm shariat. About man becoming God, you have to explain matters with care, since this prejudice is again due to ignorance.
You must explain that Truth is beyond shariat. Shariat is good to begin with, but if you mark it carefully, those who insist on fulfilling the requirements of shariat usually themselves disregard its principles and take up vices of various sorts. The time has come to break the bindings of shariat and when I unsheathe my sword, these bindings will break.
