He added:
Violence to my body will be done; it will be cut into pieces. This has been happening since my first Avatarhood.
Honesty is the real thing. No one should try to pose as more than what he really is. I am quite honest in asserting that I am God! Had I not promised Upasni Maharaj, I would have been free and would not have come here.
I will break my silence, and all that is to happen, will happen before the end of December [1954].
Baba left the bamboo shed at 2:40 P.M. and retired to Yeshwant Rao's residence. One of Baba's toes was bleeding, as he had stubbed it on a stone while sitting on the ground. A kanya named Prabha started to clean it by wiping the blood on her sari. Baba stopped her and Eruch cleaned it with cotton. Baba's feet were washed by Yeshwant Rao and his family, and puja was performed before Baba. The water was distributed as prasad among those present. Yeshwant applied sandalwood paste to Baba's forehead and presented him with a set of new clothes — a white sadra, pink coat and Kashmiri shawl. Baba put on the coat immediately, embraced Yeshwant Rao and blessed his household.
After visiting the ashram's library and Godavri's uncle, Baba entered the room of one of the kanyas, named Gita, who was bedridden. Baba touched her face, comforted her and gave her a rose petal to eat, instructing her to take his name.
At three o'clock, Baba visited Maharaj's room where the kanyas again rocked him in Maharaj's swing.
Baba asked Godavri, "Will you be staying at Sakori during April and May?"
She said she planned to go to Lonavla during those hot, summer months.
Baba then stated, "The West wants me there, but I will not be going as I have to do some special work connected with the breaking of my silence."
Advising Godavri, he spelled out, "Do your duty 100 percent by following Maharaj's instructions in every way, and all the kanyas have to do their duty, too."
