Nana Kher's brother, Vinoo, had come to Meherabad for the first time.
On seeing him, Baba remarked to Nana, "What a beautiful soul! Nana, your brother is quite a good man, and I like him very much."
Baba walked back to the hall at 3:40 P.M., and all were asked to assemble. The program heads were asked to sit with their groups. Baba began dictating:
My Fiery Life is not a joke. During this period, I have to work for the whole universe, and I am bent on ending myself or ending this universal mess. Side by side, there will be mass darshan programs. I derive no enjoyment when people come and bow down to me. On the contrary, I enjoy bowing down to you all. The Fiery Life is quite different from these mass darshan programs. I may even cancel these programs if I find that they interfere with my work in the Fiery Life.
Today, in the afternoon, when a number of people stood in a row for individual interviews, I began to feel that such type of disturbance would occur on a large scale at the places where darshan programs are arranged. I know it was all through your love for me; it was all natural. But when today such type of disturbance occurs among those who know the importance of my work, then how can you not expect such things to happen when I come to your place for darshan programs?
I want an absolute guarantee of careful organization, and it will be the duty of the programwalas to inform all that no one should ask for a personal interview with me. Although I am eternally bound, I am eternally independent also. The moment I feel that things are not going as I want, I will immediately leave the place. I am going to burn myself for the whole universe, so I do not wish to hear about petty things.
But the question is: How can you guarantee for the masses when you cannot manage among yourselves? As I declared yesterday in my Declaration, I have already told you that those who are with me in the Fiery Life will have to face every kind of hardship, mental despair, bodily ailments, attacks and ridicule. These are all side issues of the Fiery Life. They will not interfere in my Fiery Life, but the disturbance that I felt today will surely interfere in my work for the Fiery Life.
