Before ending, Baba also mentioned his silence:
Do you know how fed up I am with this silence? I long for the moment when I can break it and speak what I have in my mind to you all. You all put your grievances and complaints before me, but who will hear mine?
You say, "Baba, you have anubhav [the experience of the infinite nature of God]." But then, my grievances and complaints are also infinite! God is the only Reality, and all the rest is illusion. God is One. We are in Him, and one with Him; and we have to experience THIS. That is the purpose of creation. This jhagada [struggle or fight] is to get this experience.
God-Men help to achieve this goal. When man becomes God, a lineage is there; but when God becomes man, there is no lineage. As for me, I have to come back again and again, and experience infinite bliss and suffering, simultaneously. There is pleasure in it and a kind of imprisonment, too.
Baba then left the hall for his meal.
He returned at about three that afternoon and stated: "From the 14th of November, 25 persons are to go with me for a two-month tour. I want men who are really prepared to do what I say, at least up to the end of April, even at the cost of their lives. Fiery Life is different from New Life. Implicit obedience is what I expect and want."
He then stated: "Now I am going to assign duties for the period of two months, that is, until the end of January. After that, I myself will do the work of all 25 persons."
Eruch was to be Baba's personal attendant, and Chhagan was to help him. Vishnu was to handle the money, keep accounts and attend to correspondence. Pendu, assisted by Aloba, was to make the necessary travel arrangements by road and rail. Sadashiv was to arrange their food and shelter, and Savak Kotwal was to help him. Baidul was to hunt for masts; Gadekar was to handle the medical needs. Vishnu, Eruch and Jalbhai were to read Baba's alphabet board. Anna 104 was to do nightwatch.
When someone asked what was to be done about presents that might be offered to Baba, in cash or kind, during the tour, Baba replied, "The whole collection, if any, will be placed at the disposal of the local committee for the people at large."
