"The meeting will be held between 3 and 5:00 P.M. tomorrow afternoon. I will talk to them about 'Real Work and Real Workers.' I will lay stress on these two subjects. I want work to be done as 'work;' otherwise, I say, let there be no work at all. Hypocrisy and egoism I will not tolerate. Tomorrow, I will explain in detail about this in the workers' meeting. Some of you who attended the workers' meeting last week need not attend tomorrow."
Baba left for Meherazad at about 6:00 P.M.
Baba returned to Meherabad the next morning, Monday, 24 February 1958, at 8:20 A.M. After conversing with the mandali in his cabin, Baba went to the pandal at 9:30 A.M.
He commented, "I have a higher fever today compared with the last two days, and I also have a cold."
␞Eruch announced that Baba wished to complete the discourse he had given to the first group on the "Split 'I' and also a discourse about inner experiences, "Divine Hallucinations," but he expressed his regret that it would take three hours.
Baba added, "This is not the time now for discourses. After the sahavas, I will see that the discourses are sent to the group heads to circulate. It is something very original from me."
Referring to Elcha, who was sitting on his right, Baba joked, "As a pastime, I feel like pulling his hair as kings of yore did to their jesters, who had to keep smiling as their hair was yanked."
On Baba's instruction, Eruch then read the discourse on the "Split I ." One man, in regard to the Real I and the false I , interrupted and asked, "Does I mean the physical body?"
Baba replied:
It is the false I that asks this question. "I am Mr. X ... I am hungry ... I had no sleep ... I have my family ... I lost my money and property." All this is false I. This includes the physical body, the subtle body and the mental body. Similarly, the translator of my discourse and the ones listening are all false I s.
Suppose Elcha is a Muslim. It is his false I. He worships only Allah as the One Truth and reveres Him. However, at the time of prayer his mind is full of worldly things — his family, his job, his business. Thus, instead of paying homage to the Real I, he reveres the false I in its innumerable forms.
