The benefits one derives by visiting a saint are four.
But the benefits one derives by meeting a Sadguru are numberless!
Kabir declares this. Think it over!
Baba then remarked that the day before, he had thought of fasting for seven days, but the present rainy weather had upset his plans.
He declared, "All my work is being upset at the eleventh hour. Every plan I make in Dehra Dun is upset, just when I am about to start. The station wagon failed to come when I was about to go out on the mast tour, and I had to change my plan. When I was about to wash the feet of the poor, [that mad] Mrs. Sehgal showed up."
Elcha said some devotees from Anandamayi Ma wanted to come for Baba's darshan.
Baba warned him, "If anyone comes, that would not be good for you!" adding, "When my work is finished, God will see that the whole world will bow down to me!"
Baba asked Kishan Singh, "What would you say if anyone asks you about me?"
Kishan replied, "Generally, when I get a chance to talk about you with others, I refer to you as the Avatar or a spiritually advanced person ..."
"For heaven's sake, don't call me spiritually advanced!" Baba interrupted. "How can you call me an Avatar and also spiritually advanced? Either say I am spiritually perfect or an ordinary human being, because I know I must be either ordinary or perfect."
Baba again repeated, "When the time comes, God will make the whole world come to me."
Baidul asked, "But when will that time come?"
"Ask God!" Baba quipped.
Baidul was ordered to go back to Anandamayi Ma, Ishwar Singh and Mangat Ram and bow to them without saying anything, imagining in his mind that it was Baba who was bowing to them. Baba then bowed to Baidul three times.
While discussing his fast with Kaikobad, and again mentioning that his plan had been upset, Baba revealed, "The success of it is in your [Kaikobad's] hands. We must fight until we win, and 50 percent is in your hands!"
Baba began his fast from the 16th of June and, as wished by him, the mandali also fasted with him on the 17th and repeated God's name according to their respective religions. This repetition went on for one hour — from 11:30 P.M. until 12:30 A.M.
