Later the same day, on hypocrisy, Baba stated:
One should either be a crow or a swan, but not a heron, which is white on the outside but black on the inside.
Also, always keep aloof from the riches and women of other men. Expect anything from me except these; otherwise, the ceaseless chain of births and deaths will keep you enslaved continuously!
On the 19th, hinting about his real state, Baba revealed:
My real form is indescribable! When I speak, a few will experience it internally, from within. At that time, my outward form will resemble the forms of Christ, Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna, Ram, and Zoroaster. They all looked like me, with the same hair and a similar face.
You do not have the slightest idea of how I suffer in my physical form. Even on an empty stomach, I remain active throughout the day, moving about here and there, besides working on the book for three to four hours at a stretch, which makes my back ache. Yet I have nothing left to achieve for myself. My aim is achieved! My present suffering, fasts, and seclusions are for the benefit of others. The majority of you know this to be true, as you have personally experienced and witnessed it.
Baba asked the mandali to keep awake until midnight on 24 December, Christmas Eve. The time was spent in an entertaining way, with each one delivering a speech about Jesus. The last speaker was Ajoba who dramatically entered the gathering dressed in a long white robe and carrying an eight-foot wooden cross. He delivered a stirring speech about Christ's life and crucifixion, and a few boys from Ahmednagar sang Christian hymns afterward.
A complete holiday was observed in honor of Christmas on 25 December 1925. In Makan-e-Khas, Baba distributed prasad of sweets, tea, and bhujia to the mandali, teachers, students, hospital patients, and pilgrims. Atya-patya was played until 11:00 A.M. and other games were played in the afternoon. Later in the evening, from 8:00 to 10:00 P.M., a kirtan singer performed.
To manage the growing estate at Meherabad, a committee was formed along the lines of the Gutta in Manzil-e-Meem.
