The light of Zoroaster has been extinguished by his followers themselves. His was the highest form of Sufism. If Zoroaster were born again in this material world, he would find it difficult to recognize his own religious tenets, as practiced by the present-day followers of his creed. The same is true of all religions. The [Muslim] mullahs, [Hindu] pundits, [Zoroastrian] dasturs and [Christian] priests have mutilated the original religion for their own selfish ends.
The discussion continued for an hour, and instances were cited of how the priest class in almost every "ism" had turned religion into a business, profiting from various ceremonies and rituals.
At about 3:30 P.M., all were ordered to go outside for a game of gilli-danda. Baba participated initially, but soon returned to the bungalow after instructing all to continue playing. After an hour, he called the mandali inside. He was vomiting the food he had taken five hours before. It was undigested and Ghani remarked that it was astonishing, from a medical standpoint, for the food to remain undigested for over five hours in the stomach.
Baba and the group were to leave Juhu that afternoon, but he indicated he was feeling too weak to walk back to the train station. The Master therefore decided to leave by taxi with Gustadji, Jalbhai, Rustom and Sarosh, while the others returned to the Manzil by the local train. During the day, Baba had had twelve motions and in the night he had six or seven more. However, the next day he looked quite healthy and cheerful. Thus the "fourth death" that he had spoken of was suffered and passed through.
In their ardor to gain the Divine Experience, the men would all eagerly rise by 4:00 A.M. to meditate and repeat the name of God. But, when a number of days passed without anyone having even a glimpse of divinity, they became disheartened and lost hope in gaining anything spiritual from their morning practice. Baba had hinted that by the end of September the mandali would have "the Experience." But, by October, they realized that none of them properly understood the Master's statement.
Waking up so early now became difficult for them. At first, Behramji's calls would make them rise quickly from their beds; but later he had to enter each room to shake the men awake one by one. During these calls, Behramji himself was practically sleepwalking, colliding with doors, and once even falling down the stairs.
