There should be absolutely no outward show even though one may be suffering from deadly wounds and cut into pieces from inside!
Ah — what burning! What love, what desire! The terrible heat of the sun is as nothing compared to that burning sensation! All these burnings and other such ordeals are on the part of the independent seeker of Truth, who has not found a Guru or a Guide. Those who have found a Sadguru, however, have nothing to do except dedicate themselves to him with complete blind submission. Even if the orders of the Master seem incomprehensible or even repellent, you have to carry them out with bowed heads. Do as the Sadguru tells you to do, even if his instructions are against your will or beyond your understanding. This is the easiest way to God. For, if one at all desires to reach this Goal of Truth, one must burn and consume oneself in that desire, without any other consideration of mind, body, or soul: and this is most difficult. You are lucky to have found such a Sadguru in me.
On 7 August, the topic of conversation turned to the Master's very distinct hand movements which he had begun making in July. In the beginning of his silence, Baba would write on the ground with his forefinger. Then it became Baba's characteristic to repeat a certain movement of his hand in the air, even while giving a bath to the schoolboys, reading, conversing or listening to someone. During such moments, he would appear unaware of his surroundings. It looked as if he were weaving invisible patterns in the air. Also during this period in 1926, Baba's moods were considerably calmer and milder in temperament compared to his former fieriness in Manzil-e-Meem, when he was "a living fire" and would often slap or beat the mandali if they disobeyed him.
That night at the dhuni, Baba discussed the current wanderings of Upasni Maharaj and Hazrat Babajan:
While I was traveling all over India and Persia, Maharaj kept himself at Sakori. But now that I am staying in Meherabad, Maharaj is traveling from one place to another.
Babajan is the doyen of Sadgurus. And as in the case of important dignitaries being received by the nobility and higher echelon of society, Babajan was always accorded the highest honors while wandering from place to place. The highest persons from among the spiritual hierarchy used to present themselves at such times.
