One who is Real is the Ocean of Bliss. Zero [illusion] is the ocean of misery. It is the agony of all, and makes everyone suffer by harassing them. In the Fiery Life, by the grace of God, this zero life is to be set on fire and burned! The Fiery Free Life is not a thing to be understood; it is a thing to be witnessed.
That night, Baba became quite restless. Meheru, Goher and Arnavaz were sharing a room. Baba came to them, and instructed them to leave and sleep on the verandah. Eruch, who was on nightwatch, brought Baba's bedding and placed it in their room. Baba went inside, but in a short while came out on the verandah and directed the women to go back to their room. Still very restless, he paced back and forth, and then went back to his room. Baba went on changing his place throughout the night, and remained uneasy. The Christian woman was in some difficulty, and it was later surmised that Baba was working for her.
The next morning, Good Friday, 11 April, Baba looked extremely tired and drawn. He instructed Eruch to convey the following message by telephone to those staying at Ahmednagar, Meherabad and Meherazad:
Health is not good. There is much disturbance in and around the building. At night, the traffic caused a lot of disturbance. Although going to the West is a must, visit to the West seems uncertain. Communicate this to all.
Because the house was located near a busy road, Baba did not wish to stay there any longer and he decided to leave with the women for Ashiana.
When Baba arrived, he scolded Nariman and Meherjee, "You have no consideration for me! You don't care about me. I wanted a peaceful place, and you ignored my wishes and are inattentive. Last night was my crucifixion!"
So Meherjee, Nariman and Sarosh immediately began searching for another place. Nariman and Meherjee found an empty, newly built three-room cottage 35 miles away on Marve Beach.1 That evening, Baba and the women moved there. Baba liked the place very much. It was quiet, and he and the women took long walks on the beach in the morning and evening. The local residents were fishermen, and Baba would watch them in their fishing boats and was quite happy with the idyllic surroundings.
Baba's food was brought from Bombay by Arnavaz's younger brother, Homa Dadachanji.
One day Baba directed Homa, "Go to England and don't worry about anything.
