Baba asked Bhau, "Aren't your brothers attending the meeting?"
"My brothers, Narayan Singh and Sukhdeo Singh, are coming," he replied.
Turning to Nana Kher, Baba asked, "And is your brother Vinoo coming?"
"No one could stop him from coming!" Nana said.
"This meeting is of great importance," Baba stated, "and all my close lovers and workers should attend."
Baba went to see the Western men on the hill at 10:15 A.M.
He remarked to them, "I will stay longer today."
After inquiring of each about their health and sleep, Baba said, "I myself feel tired, and have had no sleep for three nights. I feel the burden of the universe [on my head]."
Baba's mood changed and he commented, "I promised to teach you how to play marbles. Although I am above promises, I have been reminded and will do so."
Baba showed them how to play, and played with them for some time.
Going into the west room with the group, Baba sat in a chair and began to dictate: "I will explain about Sakori and talk as thoughts come to me. I will speak about the planes, too.
"First, about miracles, and why I think that from the spiritual point of view, they are nothing but farce. When Jesus said, 'I and my Father are One,' he meant that he was God. Is this true? Did he actually say it?
"God created this entire phenomenal universe. That is God's miracle, and the miracle of Jesus. It means that innumerable beings were created by Jesus who die according to his will. Yet, it is supposed that Jesus' greatness is that he raised some few dead to life.
"How ridiculous that is, unless given some hidden meaning. It is supposed that Jesus is the Savior because he raised a few dead and gave sight to the blind, creating insignificant illusions in the midst of his great illusion. Why is he supposed to have performed these miracles?"
Malcolm Schloss replied, "Because people were impressed by it."
"Yet," Baba pointed out, "he said, I am God, I am the Savior, I am everything; but they were not impressed by that. If he raises the dead, people are impressed, which would mean that they were impressed not by himself but by his so-called miracles.
"What do you say, Charles?"
Charles Purdom replied, "Jesus did not do these things to impress people, because he told them to say nothing about them; whatever he did was because of his love."
