8 October, 1928

 

 

During this period, the mandali found the opportunity to be with Baba only in the evening, for during the daytime, no one was permitted near him. Concerning the boys, on 8 October, Baba explained to the men:

 

I have a thousand and one thoughts about these children. At the moment, they are merged in me, so I have to look after their health. They keep awake the whole night remembering me, but this time I will see to it [give them a push]. Have no doubt about it.

 

The only thing I fear is their parents' interference. If they were to put forth obstacles, the children would be neither here nor there. This Path is not a laughing matter. It is not a joke. Some of the boys are quite good, but no immediate push can be given to them all at once. After all, they are only children.
