Baba said, "If I turn the key, Babu would not only leave everything and come here, but he wouldn't leave from here, even if pushed out. So also Sadashiv who, being afraid he might be called here and asked to stay permanently, now does not even care to write to me."
Baba then said, "A time will come when I will have to turn the world upside down."
Babu recalled the time he had seen Babajan point to Merwan and declare to all, "One day my boy will shake half the world."
In the afternoon a discussion took place about Mahatma Gandhi and his statement in the newspapers that he had given up his attempts to unite the Hindus and Muslims of India, leaving it to "some greater power" than himself. Baba commented:
It is I who will bring about unity between all the classes and creeds in the world, particularly in India, but Gandhi will be dead by then. Gandhi will die before I break my silence. He is not destined to hear it. Gandhi has no preparedness for it; he is not yet ready. Otherwise, he would have come to me by now or surrendered to any other Realized Master. But he has not the courage, and his companions, too, would not allow him to do so.
On 11 April, discussion about the current political situation in India resumed, and Baba stated:
The education that will be imparted to the boys in the ashram will also prove an advancement towards the political salvation of India. Thus, besides the spiritual advancement of the country, it will be materially benefited, too. At the completion of the course, these boys will no longer have any bias or prejudice against any particular religion, as is the case these days, and which has led to so much strife and slaughter all over the country. In these boys, the seeds of hatred and fanaticism will be destroyed and a real toleration for all religions and beliefs will be created. These boys will teach a universal religion to all, not by mere lectures, as is done now, but by a living example.
Later that day, publication of the advertisement about Meher Ashram was discussed. Chanji had already been instructed to publicize it in the Gujarati press, both in Bombay and Karachi, and Ramjoo and Ghani were to do the same in the Urdu newspapers. Dhake was to combine the best of their efforts into an article for the English newspapers. Baba decided that a number of boys as far away as Persia should also be included in the school.
