Pukar and Keshav have done immense work in Uttar Pradesh. Pukar is always on tour, walking from town to town, village to village, spreading my name.
In Andhra Pradesh, besides Kutumba Sastri, Swami Satyaprakash, Ramanaiah, Majety Ramamohan Rao, there are also scores of others who do a lot of work in my cause.
Centers in Calcutta, Jabalpur, Nagpur and many other places also do a great deal of work, though the workers from these Centers have not been called here today.
During these eighteen months of my seclusion, people used to say to my workers: "Where is that God-Man you talk about so much? When will he permit us to see him?"
You must have been harassed trying to answer these questions. I have now decided to give darshan in Poona, but for a while I want to recover from the physical strain I have endured, so that my body will be able to cope with the huge crowds that will come to see me. The breaking of my silence and my public manifestation will be later on.
In Ahmednagar, even if I felt like giving darshan, it would not be possible. There are no hotels or dharamshalas in Ahmednagar. In Poona, too, it will be difficult to cater to the needs of everyone, but you all should work together to try and make it possible.
After I break my silence and manifest as the Avatar of the Age, there will be no need for darshan program arrangements, because all will then know and feel me within. Then I need not travel from place to place.
In my previous advents, people worshiped me only after I had dropped the physical body. This time, while I am still in this physical body, there will be a worldwide recognition of the Avatar. The difficulties in Poona during the coming darshan will be great because the number of lovers will be ten times as compared to the past.
Baba lovingly remembered his workers in America, Europe and Australia, who would probably, he commented, feel disappointed when they read a report of this meeting that Baba's work was done only in the East. He stated in light humor:
In the West, Baba-work is spreading like a forest fire! Reports come pouring in almost daily about students and others recognizing Baba as the Expected One.
