Only the present New Life companions will have the choice to stay with Baba in his New Life on 16 October 1950, and no one else. Those from the present New Life companions who prefer to stay with Baba in his New Life after 16 October will try to serve Baba as best they can with all sincerity, will try to obey him 100 percent, and will try to do whatever he says and wants, even if his orders will make them break the essence of the originally "Yes" signed conditions, as per the attached list, which they will have to try to follow 100 percent, under normal circumstances, during their stay with and service [to] Baba.
Baba's New Life is eternal . Those, other than servants of Baba in his New Life, who desire to live that life are free to do so in spirit independently.
Baba invited all his Old Life men disciples (no women devotees) and the five Arrangementwalas to Mahabaleshwar to attend a meeting, between 7 and 11:00 A.M., on 16 October.
"Those who can conveniently come may come. Those who cannot come should not worry, but they will be sent a copy of Baba's message and program of 16 October 1950."
A list of the "essence of the originally Yes signed conditions" was included in the circular:
All those who decide to serve Baba from 16 October 1950:
1) Must not hold Baba responsible for anything that may happen to them.
2) Must not even expect Baba to perform miracles, or use his spiritual key, or have his nazar upon them.
3) Must not even expect to receive any spiritual or material benefit whatsoever in return from Baba.
4) Must not do any lustful actions with anyone.
5) Must not accept money from anyone for anyone, not even for Baba.
6) Must not have any concern with politics.
7) Must not express anger by word or deed.
8) Must not criticize unfairly.
9) Must not tell lies under any circumstances.
10) Must not accept homage nor deliberately create circumstances to invite homage to Baba or to themselves.
11) Must be prepared for every kind of disappointment and adversity.
Those who decide to serve Baba from 16 October 1950, must solemnly declare before God, in the presence of Baba, that they have made this decision of their own free will, and that whatever the result of it may be, they alone are responsible.
