A list of all the conditions was made, and Baba dictated the following:
Although the New Life has emerged from me, I am not at all bound by it. Plans One, Two and Three of the New Life with their four phases of labor, begging, gypsy and langoti life, will function as long as I am physically alive.
But this New Life is endless, and even after my physical death will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust, and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone, do no backbiting, do not seek material possessions or power, who accept no homage, neither covet honor, nor shun disgrace, and fear no one and nothing; by those who rely wholly and solely on God, and who love God purely for the sake of loving, who believe in the lovers of God and in the reality of Manifestation, and yet do not expect any spiritual or material reward, who do not let go the hand of Truth, and who, without being upset by calamities, bravely and wholeheartedly face all hardships with 100 percent cheerfulness, and give no importance to caste, creed and religious ceremonies.
This New Life will live by itself eternally, even if there is no one to live it.
The Fixed Conditions for those men who accepted Plans One-A, One-B, One-C and Plan Two were:
1. First and foremost, you must take it as an absolute and unqualified certainty that you will not receive even the slightest spiritual or material benefit, or indeed, any benefit whatsoever. On the contrary, you must be prepared for every kind of disappointment and adversity.
2. You should not expect that Baba will have his nazar on you or that he will perform any miracles or use his spiritual key to protect or save you from illness, danger, imprisonment, death, or difficulties and disasters of any kind.
3. You will not touch women, except when necessary, your mother, wife, sister and daughter; or professionally when you are practicing as a doctor.
4. You will not enter politics.
5. You will not express anger by word or deed to anyone, whatever the provocation, and you will not criticize anyone unfairly, either to his face or behind his back. Although you may at times feel anger in your mind, you must never express it by word or deed.
