DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

 

INDIAN TROOPS BEING SENT TO CHINA

 

 

25th January, 1927

 

On the morning of Tuesday, 25 January 1927, while discussing plans about the new school, the news of Indian troops being sent to China by the British government was mentioned. Baba disapproved of the action and predicted:

 

Sending the Indian army to fight in a foreign war is a bad policy on the part of the British government. If it continues to do such things it will lose its prestige all over the world. If these frictions and hostilities in China do not cease soon and a reconciliation arrived at, the British will be the greatest sufferers, losing everything — their name, fame, and empire throughout the world. Their underhanded dealings and diplomatic policies have made almost the whole world their enemy. They will suffer for the injustices they have done to innumerable people and many countries with their policies.

 

The Chinese being against the British, however, is really the doing of Bolshevik Russia's mischief-making. Russia, while pretending to sit quietly, is sticking the end of a pin into China and exciting it.

 

A few days later, Baba added, "If Britain does not modify her policies soon, she is doomed!"

 

On the 25th, when someone pointed out the possibility of the Meherabad property being appropriated by the British in the event of war, Baba replied in a good mood, "Don't worry about it. Raise the new school building as soon as you can and leave the rest to me. I won't leave this place. I guarantee to undertake the responsibility that no one comes here. I'll tell the British I won't go. Let us see what they do".

 

"The key to the world and its affairs is in my hand. When I turn the key internally, there will be an enormous conflagration in the world, and yet it will appear as if I am sitting here quietly."

 

Baba added, "Sai Baba was the King of Perfect Masters, but I am the Master of Masters! When Sai Baba was smoking a chillum while sitting in Shirdi, as if knowing nothing, he was in fact conducting and controlling the First World War. No one knows this. Similarly, I am here talking with you, but while sitting here, I control the whole universe and everything existing in it."
