When I see you confused, at times I am moved to give an explanation, to clarify the reason for a particular action of mine. This I do out of my compassion and love for you. And thus it is that sometimes I seem to be "defending" my actions with explanations and giving reasons for them. This but depicts your weakness and reveals my strength.
But remember that despite my explaining, the significance of my actions will ever remain beyond the range of your knowing. The utter simplicity of my divine game appears to be highly intricate as soon as you try to understand it through your intellect.
The more you have my sahavas [companionship] and receive of my love with an open heart, the more wholeheartedly you begin to accept me. And it is equally true that the more you see of me, the more convinced you become that you understand me less and less. Exerting to comprehend my divine game through the [intellect's] process of understanding opens up vast fields of speculation in which you wander and arrive sooner or later at a dead end, finding yourself helplessly lost and none the wiser.
If my actions cause confusion, it is because of your lack of complete trust. Therefore, uproot all doubt and remember well that whatever I do is for the best. All my actions are born of my divine response filled with divine love.
On Monday, 22 June 1959, at 8:00 A.M., Baba held a meeting of the mandali and those who were frequent visitors to Guruprasad. He recapitulated the staggering amount of work done by him since his arrival in Poona in March:
I have not only given darshan and embraced several thousand persons who have approached me with love, but I have also helped many in their personal problems, several of them being of a very delicate nature. During my three months' stay, my presence in Poona brought about and finalized two marriage alliances between families of my lovers [Gulnar/Jehangu and Madhusudan/Subhadra]; it has also given strength to two other families when two important lovers dropped their bodies [Gadekar and Pappa Jessawala]. I also took much interest in two families where births had taken place [Thade and Bindra House].
Besides this, I have listened to the reading of Stay With God and given my final word for its printing and publication. I have taken part in the discussions held in connection with securing a site and a building for the local Poona Center.
