God's Truth cannot be ignored; and thus, by mankind's ignorance and weakness, a tremendous adverse reaction is produced, and the world finds itself in a cauldron of suffering through wars, hate, conflicting ideologies and Nature's rebellion, in the form of floods, famines, earthquakes and other disasters. Ultimately, when the apex is reached, God manifests anew in human form to guide mankind in the destruction of its self-created evil, that it may be reestablished in the Divine Truth.
My silence and the imminent breaking of my silence is to save mankind from the monumental forces of ignorance, and to fulfill the Divine Plan of universal unity. The breaking of my silence will reveal to mankind the universal oneness of God, which will bring about the universal brotherhood of man. My silence had to be. The breaking of my silence has to be — soon.
After the three messages were read, Baba asked Thirumala Rao to take medicine from Don for the cold he was suffering from, because he had to travel a long distance home. At the start of the meeting, Baba instructed that, except for the Andhra group, everyone should leave the hall at 11:00 A.M. When the reading of the three messages was finished, it was 10:50 A.M., but Baba stated, "According to Baba-time, it is past eleven o'clock and so you all must leave now!" Baba also left for his cabin. He was in such a serious mood that none dared ask him anything. Baba called the Andhra group to his cabin and met with them for an hour.
Then he came out. He was in the same somber mood. All lovers were standing quietly at a distance. Without looking at anyone, Baba took his seat in the car and departed for Meherazad. The out-of-town lovers were subdued. They had never experienced Baba in such a mood, and his apparent indifference toward them deeply wounded their hearts. They were taken aback, and their minds and hearts were thrown into a tumult as they contemplated the critical significance of the coming seclusion.
But, as Age explained, "The lovers did not know that the Wine can wound, and the deeper the wound the more one experiences what can only be described as 'painful joy.' It is the nature of Wine: one suffers yet longs for more."
The lovers were unable to bear the pain after Baba's departure, and the gods wept tears of rain in sympathy. In this downpour, most of the lovers departed from Meherabad the same day to spread Baba's message. Their lips did not acclaim the Divine Beloved, nor was there happiness in their hearts — only the painful wound."
