The three points are: Firstly, I will be absolutely helpless in the true and literal sense of the word on account of some personal disaster to me. Before that happens to me after October 1, I wish to make whatever arrangements are possible for the mandali, under the limited means at our disposal because, thereafter, I will have to stop — and I shall stop — seeing to the material affairs of anyone.
Secondly, I will allow only such persons to remain with and near me who are in every respect completely ready on their own responsibility to fulfill and carry out the conditions I may lay down during these few days for that purpose. I will be beyond the reach of all others.
Thirdly, Meherabad and Pimpalgaon ashrams will be disbanded, as I am going to wipe these off my map!
I thank God that the time for which I have been waiting so long has at last arrived. The whole world will know how and to what extent I become helpless, and I will come to know how far the mandali will go with me. And that is the gist of all that we have to discuss and decide about.
Usually everyone was allowed to address Baba in the language most familiar to them. But this time, to make everything absolutely clear to all and not keep anything secret, Baba resorted to the method of asking the individual to speak in a language intelligible to all.
Thus, when Ali Akbar (Aloba) began to ask Baba something about his personal matters in Persian, Baba at once interrupted him, stating, "Tell me everything as best you can in Hindi, because I want everyone, whether actually present here or not, to know what transpires during these days."
Another time, Pappa Jessawala tried to convey something confidentially in writing about his household affairs.
Baba had the letter read before everyone, remarking, "Nothing is to be kept secret."
If any man sought Baba's advice about outside matters, Baba would reply:
Dispose of all that you can dispose of. Provide whatever you can provide for your dependents. Arrange whatever you can arrange on these lines, and wait and see for yourself what is finally decided in the meetings; then, decide for yourself whether you can or cannot remain with me in the future. There is absolutely no question of spiritual relations and spiritual benefits. No one will be left out spiritually if I am spiritually perfect myself.
