Eruch said, "Baba will now tell you something about India." Baba continued, gesturing:
I will complete my present seclusion on February 15, 1957. After that, in March, I will send you instructions about the meeting — when you should leave Australia, when you are expected in India, where you will go, where to stop. Whether you come by plane or boat, instructions will be there. Meherjee will receive you all. The meeting is set [to begin] November 7 and last for one month. November and December are cold in India, so try to bring something warm with you.
I feel [heavily] burdened with the work. The time is drawing very near. Just a spark is needed for war to flare up. I am working. But even though I do not feel fresh this morning, if I were to go out for a walk, you would all have to run to follow me. You would not be able to keep pace with me! I walk very fast.
This morning Francis was weeping like a child. [Francis,] do not begin to weep here! When I came out of my room this morning, I told Francis I wanted to leave early. Was there an earlier plane? Francis told me there was one between 4 and 5:00 P.M. I told him that if I were to leave earlier, then Joan and Denis and Ena and Clarice would perhaps feel disappointed. So Francis told me, "They love you and will be happy whatever you do."
Is this true? What would they think? What would they say? What would you think, Ena? Would you feel disappointed? Joan, what do you think?
Both ladies said, "Whatever you wish, Baba."
I am very happy to hear this from you. In India, they know my ways. They are used to changes. One big program was all arranged, then I sent word that I did not want to come there and that all the programs would have to be canceled. Then I said I wanted to, and they had to make new arrangements.
I am in everyone and everywhere. Perfect Masters do not test their disciples. They are one with everyone and do not need to test. Advanced aspirants on the Path, they test their disciples, but Perfect Masters do not.
