Eruch interpreted Baba's reply:
One thing is definite. Long before I drop my body I will speak. The breaking of my silence will coincide with the breaking of the long-awaited silence of God. This so-called speaking, as you all speak and as I used to speak before, will be of no avail and my silence then would have no meaning. The Word that will move the heart of all and make them feel that only God is real is to be the one Word uttered which will carry infinite power behind it.
So let us hope that God makes me utter that Word soon. If I speak now, I can make people flock around me. But that would be just philosophers' talk. We have to be honest 100 percent in our mind and in our innermost self; then this honesty makes us know that what God wills happens. So I will soon speak and let all know the Word.
Kishan Singh was an important official in the Air Force accounts department. When some of his office staff came for Baba's darshan, Baba explained to them:
We have to be honest in our thoughts and deeds. God wants us to be absolutely honest. It is better not to believe in God than to pose as one who loves God. Only when we become honest can we find God, even while attending to our duties, because then we feel detached. So I give you my love and blessings for the attainment of this honesty.
Keshav Nigam's brother, Devendra, brought a batch of students from the Ayurvedic College in Hardwar. Devendra told Baba, "I want to see God!" and Baba extemporaneously composed these lines in reply:
Some seek money, some seek name. Some seek power, some seek fame. Some want children, few want God. Life is a joke, and all is a game.
Baba proceeded to explain the use of the word seek in the poem, and spelled on the alphabet board:
The word "seek" is used. When one seeks with all one's heart, one gets what one seeks. When you say you sought and did not find, it means you did not seek as you ought to have sought. If even God can be found by seeking, why should we not get the trifles we seek after if we seek wholeheartedly?
