Repressions — you work it out for yourself, Malcolm. Let us play marbles.
On Friday, 24 September 1954, Baba returned to Meherabad, and after talking with those in charge of arrangements, he ascended the hill at 10:00 A.M. along with the Westerners, who had walked down the hill to meet him.
While walking with Baba, Darwin Shaw had the overwhelming feeling that they were walking over the hills of Galilee with Christ, and a fragment from Jesus' sayings crossed his mind: "You all say 'yes, yes,' but do not do!" At that moment, Baba gave him a sharp glance.
In the meeting room Baba spelled out:
No more explanations today. It is the last day of my coming here. Today, we will drink together. This is not the Last Supper, but the Last Drink, and I am hoping that, at least from among you all, no one will sell me, although someone has to do that job. My physical end is going to be a violent one.
I am the Ancient One, and you will all love me more and more after my body is dropped, and will see me as I really am. Today, I won't explain anything; what is there to explain?
Then, without looking at Darwin, Baba spelled out: "You all say 'yes, Baba,' but you do not do."
Darwin was amazed and thought: "How can one fathom this being?"
Again, without looking at Darwin, Baba stated with a bland expression, "My ways are so unfathomable that sometimes I, too, cannot fathom them!"
Referring to his photographs, Baba said:
This is not Baba. If you had but a glimpse of me as I am, you would lose consciousness. Love me, and you will be loving God.
And God is to be loved honestly. The slightest hypocrisy or dishonesty keeps you far away from God. God, our Beloved, is here now in you all, Who knows what you will think tomorrow. He is All Knowledge, and when we love Him honestly, He becomes one with us.
My last message to you, dear ones, is to love God, and you will find I am one with God.
The group then dispersed for private interviews.
