Baba called all the companions, and in front of them scolded Kaka, afterward explaining, "I have been telling you so many times, trying to drill it into your heads, to carry out my wishes immediately, because this will be a help in the New Life after the 1st of January.
"The help that I have promised until the end of next month will no doubt bring you forgiveness, but this is the very thing that will invite disaster for you after January 1. So take very seriously all things small and big, so that you may not be caught napping."
At this point, Baba was noticed getting angry. He asked Kaka to forcefully pinch his ears.
When Kaka had done it, Baba remarked, "You should all remember that when asked to pinch my ears or kick me, you should not think that your faults are responsible. It is not so. I have my own reasons to ask you to pinch or kick me, because I wish to get over my habit of getting angry. You will therefore be helping me to curb my anger. Remind me if I am unwittingly making any promise or get excited or angry."
"Can anyone fathom the Beloved's game?" Age wondered. "He who has the three worlds in his hand, if he wishes he can hear the breathing of a stone and make it sing! He is the source of infinite power, but to free his companions from anger, he became the medium of such human weaknesses — and had his ears twisted and himself kicked because of them!"
Age was moved by Baba's ways. "O Beloved! You are matchless! Absolutely peerless! Words have no power to sing your praises and enumerate your attributes! If the sound of all words disappears, perhaps then the soundless sound of your silence might sing your glory!"
In the morning on Friday, 4 November 1949, Baba dictated the following:
According to the conditions and the oaths — mine and the companions' — the companions are irrevocably bound by two points: First of all, responsibility before God; that rests wholly on them. And secondly, there is no hope of material or spiritual help, reward or result.
