"It is a fact when I say nothing happens but by my will. For you, it should be said by you thus: 'Nothing should happen but what Baba wishes.' This means that my will and wish are two different things."
Baba said that he would explain the difference clearly one day when he was in the mood, but he added, "As nothing happens but by my will, your going against my wish is by my will."
On 7 February, he stated: "Everyone is doing something; few are doing nothing. Doing nothing is also doing something; so doing nothing is doing something. Therefore, everyone doing something is doing nothing. Thus doing something, or nothing, or anything is doing nothing. The very act of doing is imaginary. There is no such thing as 'doing.' "
On Monday, 9 February 1959, Baba went to Meherabad to give darshan to the Arangaon villagers.
Philippe Dupuis of Paris (who had participated in the 1954 "Three Incredible Weeks" darshan) had written to Baba for permission to come and see him. Baba granted permission, and Dupuis arrived in Bombay on 6 February. On the 9th, he was brought by Adi directly to Meherabad, arriving at 9:00 A.M. Without obtaining Baba's permission, Dupuis had brought with him Vilayat Khan, the eldest son of the Sufi teacher Inayat Khan.
Baba saw both in his Interview Cabin. Adi, Eruch and Francis were present during the interview. Vilayat Khan kissed Baba's hand. Replying to Baba's inquiry, Vilayat said that he had come to India a month before Dupuis. He planned to sit in meditation for a certain length of time near the shrine of Chishti in Ajmer. Vilayat said, "I have come to Baba prompted by my Murshid to meditate on you in your physical presence."
Baba found Vilayat Khan of good heart, but his understanding was not deep, and he was not of the same spiritual status as his father. Baba dictated the following six points for him to live by:
Don't run away from the world; run away from your own lower self.
Don't renounce the world; renounce your own lower self.
Don't seek solitude anywhere but within your own self, because you are eternally all alone to your own Self.
Silently cry out within your own self: 'Beloved One, reveal yourself to me as my own, real, infinite Self.'
It is you who are obstructing yourself from finding your Self. So try to lose your lower self by continual remembrance of God, Who is your real Self.
