Purposely, Bhau answered, "No."
Baba asked Pukar, "Would you carry out my order and slaughter your own children?"
"Without even thinking, Baba!" he replied.
Baba taunted Bhau, "Do you see how Pukar is? Now, take his help!"
Bhau was glad, and Pukar rendered full cooperation in caring for the patients. Having dispensed with all these matters, Baba left for Meherazad at 6:00 P.M.
That night at Meherazad, Baba drew a diagram and gave the following explanation, which Eruch noted in a journal:
In the sub-human stage, consciousness of the false-self or false I, which is very slight, finds scope for evolution.
In the human form, the evolution of consciousness is completed and the consciousness is full. Love comes into play actively for the first time in human beings. As love plays its part more actively and fully, the false I begins to get consumed more and more. Eventually, when love is at its zenith, the false I gets totally consumed by love. This results in consummation of both lover and love at the altar of the Beloved. Neither does the lover remain to love nor does love reign supreme over the lover. The goal is attained. The Beloved reigns supreme over his Self. Except for the Beloved, there is nothing; everything else is consummated.
Arriving in Meherabad at 8:00 A.M. on Wednesday, 19 February 1958, Baba went directly to his cabin, where he discussed with Vishnu, Pendu, Padri, Bhau and others matters concerning those sick, and the special train.
The Gadekars were then called, and Baba asked Gunatai, "I want to call Gadekar to me; what is your opinion?"
She replied, "As you wish, Baba." He then told Gadekar to apply for six months' leave from work and come and stay with him.
Thereafter, the photographers Bhaiya Panday and Bhikubhai took photographs of Baba with women from different groups.
The entire sahavas group had assembled in the meeting tent long before Baba's arrival. This was their last occasion with Baba. Some wanted to sing to him, and some wanted to ask something. Baba entered the tent, and the mandali started receiving handwritten notes from the group about their individual requests.
But Baba intervened, stating:
"No one should come to me with his difficulties or seek interviews. I know everything. So what is the use of your laying before me your troubles and tales of woe? Those wishing to convey something to me should not write it out and send it on pieces of paper, but should tell it to me from the bottom of their hearts, as I reside in all hearts. If I am not all-knowing, what is the good in sending me chits? And if I am omniscient, then it is useless to send them. I want to tell you all that I know everything and am omnipresent!"
