With a smile, he added, "Deshmukh should not think of his family members in Nagpur."
Looking at the gathering, Baba stated: "I have just now taken the stand of one who seeks the Truth. And why? That I will explain tomorrow. So you will all have to pay full attention tomorrow and try to grasp what I say.
"Baba is taken as the Avatar or Sadguru or Perfect Master; but for Baba to take the stand of a devotee has the greatest significance. Why? I will explain tomorrow. So all you have to do is to grasp tomorrow what I declare.
"After ages and ages, the time has now come for the real revelation of the Infinite in the universe. So the Fiery Life which begins on 15 November and ends at the end of April will reveal that only God is real and all else is illusion.
"So now, take rest after this program is over, and I will call you one by one for interviews in the afternoon. Tomorrow there should be no thought outside of Meherabad; that is why I have called you here from such long distances. Now go wash your hands and faces and come back here to repeat God's names from the four different religions."
When all had returned to the hall, Baba conveyed: "God is present right here now, in you all and in me. So let us take his name sincerely and wholeheartedly so that He Who is within us is touched. Don't speak aloud when the names are repeated. Only repeat silently and think that He is within us and hears us all."
Baba too washed his face and hands, and solemnly stood by his seat. Everyone present stood. The names of God were repeated seven times each by Nilu, Padri, Baidul and Eruch.
At 11:00 A.M. Baba asked everyone except the Hamirpur group to disperse. After talking with them for a little while, Baba went for his lunch. In the afternoon he gave personal interviews.
At 3:20 P.M. Baba came into the hall again. Gustadji garlanded him. Baba stated:
Tomorrow is the important day for me. Although time as such does not exist in eternity, for us on this plane, we have to consider time. According to that, tomorrow is a very important day for me.
