Age too was wonderstruck. "Even the angels do not have the chance to witness such leela! That is why, to enjoy the play of the God-Man, they thirst for birth on Earth in human form."
Many souls from other planets also take birth on Earth during an Avataric age. Baba once pointed out that, in spite of the widespread use of birth control and proliferation of family planning programs, there is a tremendous increase in the world's population. Why did this population explosion take place? Because when the Avatar descends on Earth, it is like springtime when people from other planets take birth here. And because they are highly advanced scientifically, science in this world reaches its zenith during the Avatar's advent.
Although there are numberless planets with evolving forms, only 18,000 are populated by human beings. However, people dwelling on these 18,000 planets have no opportunity to advance spiritually. Spiritually speaking, they are totally "dry" — without love. They are far advanced in science, so much so that people of some worlds can read the minds of others; but the heart does not flower where there is no Wine to water it, nor Song to feed it. These worlds are bereft of the physical presence of the Avatar or Perfect Masters, and are not inhabited by lovers of God or advanced souls.
At half past noon, Baba was taken to the Savitri Rice Mill, where a program of feeding the poor had been arranged. Hundreds had gathered and Baba himself served several of them. The poor program took about an hour and a half.
Having returned to the dak bungalow in Tadepalligudem, at 2:00 P.M., Baba discussed the meeting of the Andhra workers and informed Ranga Rao, "Include Katta Subba Rao in the meeting on the 2nd [of March]. It is important. The time is fast approaching. It is coming near 100 percent, and you all must work 100 percent."
Baba then stated: "I am fed up with all this bowing down. Gods bow down to me! So what of human beings? I do not want all this. I want workers — honest workers. I know everyone has weaknesses, but we must put all our weaknesses together and erect a tower of strength out of them.
