Chapter 21: Manonash

From the 16th of February, I make myself free to accept gifts, and as free to refuse them. From the 21st of March, anyone who wishes to come to me, to see me and contact me, may do so, but he or she must make his or her own arrangements regarding lodging, food, et cetera.
I might give mass darshan when I feel it necessary, or have the inclination to do so. Any reference to my Old Life state, which I have now regained, may be expressed verbally in my presence by anyone who wishes to do so. But I will not, in accordance with my New Life standards, accept any external homage, such as bowing or touching of the feet.
Although the Manonash work is done fully and completely, and the result must and will definitely come 100 percent to my satisfaction, I now give freedom to each and all who are connected with me, to choose what manner of life they henceforth wish to live. They are free either to live with me and obey my orders, or to live away from me and obey my orders. They are free either to lead the life I tell them to lead, or to lead their own lives in any way they please — that is, completely free from orders of any kind from me. This includes the Arrangementwalas but, in their case, the only kind of freedom I cannot give them is freedom from the responsibility that they have shouldered to the end.
No matter what choice he or she makes — everyone will share when the Real Freedom comes, at any moment, by the grace of God.
To sum up my Manonash work:
1) I feel in all truth that the four months' Manonash work has been done by me, by the help of God, to my entire satisfaction.
2) The result of this work must bear fruit, sooner or later: either in the immediate present, or sometime later, or in the distant future.
3) The result will bring Freedom to us all in proportion to our merits of love, faith and service.
4) This Freedom will be freedom from ignorance, and will be the Knowledge that we always were, are and will be one with God.
5) This Knowledge will make us realize and experience infinite love, power, bliss and peace, which we always possessed and knew not.
