He has committed the mistake in good faith. That particular sequence was inevitable and, as such, difficult to avoid. All of you are no doubt now tired of such things; but you have no idea how sick I myself now feel about things like my silence, manifestation, et cetera. I am billions of times more fed up with everything than you all are!
If you feel very keen to 'see' me, then believe me that I am all the more eager to let you 'see' me once and for all! If and when that happens, it will happen quite unawares and all of a sudden, and yet it will be at the moment exactly fixed for that to happen. In the New Life, I have got to, and I do, stick to the principles of my New Life.
For the first seven days, from 20 to 26 June, Baba was mainly concerned with a number of adjustments and arrangements which he definitely wished completed before putting the God-determined Step into execution on 16 October 1951. In this connection, Baba conveyed:
I shall have to make certain definite adjustments to wipe out the traces of interference that I have experienced during the last two years of my New Life. I am under no obligation of any kind to anyone. When I say I feel boja [burden], I mean that I feel I have not done enough for the one who associated himself with my life through the mutual bond of love. And unless and until I become conscious of a satisfaction that comes up to my expectations, I must do my best to remove the 'burden' one way or another.
One of the adjustments Baba made was that all those of the Old Life who had been forbidden to go to the movies could now see three films a month from July onwards.
On Saturday, 23 June 1951, many of those invited arrived. Referring to individual interviews, Baba joked,
I have to talk with A for five minutes, with B for seven and a half minutes, with C for three hours, with D and F for seven hours each, and with G for one whole day!
The subject of sacrifice in the service of the Master was touched upon when Baba remarked:
The giving up of life in an emotional outburst of the moment is quite cheap compared with the day-to-day carrying out of the Master's instructions through thick and thin.
