The only one who can do this is a Realized Self — One who has seen and known the Truth. Any other guide — subtle seers, yogis, and so forth — will lead you no further than into darkness. Then what is the power of these yogis worth?
That day, a firm decision was made to move to Bombay, and the list of those going with Baba and those remaining behind in Meherabad was finalized. A circular was prepared and sent to those concerned. Dissatisfaction prevailed among some of the mandali, and on Baba's inquiry, a few expressed their desire to go with him while others left the choice to him. Those who wanted to go with Baba were added to the Bombay list, and Baba advised those remaining to continue discharging their duties as assigned with full faith that he was always with them.
A meeting with the mandali was held in the evening, which Memo, Gulmai and Soonamasi attended.
Explaining why he was moving to Bombay, Baba stated, "I have been feeling tired for a long time now with the monotony of things, especially with staying in one place and observing silence. I will stay on the hill for three or four days and afterward will decide about going to Bombay. But one thing is certain; I won't leave Meherabad before November 20th."
Baba told Soonamasi that he would be happy to stay at Dadar if accommodation could be provided; otherwise, he would stay at Santa Cruz. He advised his mother to come with him to Bombay and not think about Mani's schooling. She said she would let him know, after he decided where he would be staying.
On 13 November, Baba went up Meherabad Hill at 9:15 P.M. to begin his third stay in the tank room. A notice was posted on the board informing the community that he would be on the hill for the next four to five days and would be leaving for Bombay on 28 November. Chanji was sent to Bombay to make the necessary arrangements and to see his family.
The following day, Baba did not come down to lower Meherabad, but the next morning, he suddenly showed up at eleven o'clock and found Behramji and Bomanji quarreling. Baba pacified them, though he was disturbed to find them fighting in his absence.
Frustrated, Baba declared, "From today, Sakya [one of the Mahars] will serve food to all and all must eat it without harboring any thought of caste or community. Those who don't like it should leave Meherabad!"
