Sometimes, I will make you do things which I might not do. In either case, we will all be sharing the New Life.
I might do anything and ask you to do anything; in this you must obey my orders instantaneously. Extraordinary and abnormal things will be done by me and carried out by you, too, should the picture of the New Life I have visualized come true. Normal, ordinary and natural things also will be done by you and me. What exactly I mean by extraordinary and abnormal things, I cannot tell you now, because I myself do not know. I know this much, that extraordinary and abnormal things will happen most of the time. Such happenings will go to make the New Life and its sufferings enjoyable. I assure you, the New Life, in spite of its acute sufferings, will be "wet" [joyful] inside and outside!
I shall now give a few examples as to what I mean by the natural, normal and ordinary things and happenings. However, I wish to impress upon you all that from January 1, the conditions and orders will be the foundation 100 percent of the New Life for you and me, although I am absolutely free from these conditions.
The examples of ordinary, natural and normal happenings that might take place are as follows: You know that the activities of the Old Life such as contacting masts and sadhus have all come to an end. In spite of this, however, in the New Life wherever we go, I might see masts and make you see masts. I might see sadhus and make you see sadhus. I might visit saints and make you visit saints. I might ask any one of you to go to a yogi's hut and pass the night there with him, if he allows it. I might ask you to bathe a majzoob or sit in a yogi's cave. These instances and many more like these will form the ordinary, natural and normal happenings of the New Life. As for extraordinary and abnormal things, I cannot say anything except that they will make you enjoy the suffering.
This is just to give you an idea and prepare you to help me by obeying me 100 percent. If you all do exactly what I say, without the least hesitation, then you will be helping me, as I am now trying to help you all.
