DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

TURNING THE BOYS INTO 'SALIKS'

29 December, 1927

On the evening of 30 December, Baba revealed to the mandali:

My wish at this time is advancing boys and turning them into saliks. I am mostly concerned with boys, and that is why all this trouble [the ashram school]. You will see how many of these boys will be saints! The time is very near. And after this work is finished, I will manifest. But the whim must come and it is very difficult for it to come.

But once it does, everything will be automatically done. I will show God to some and I will make some God!

The boys' luck is so good that they have come near me. Great yogis have been clamoring for years to see God and become one with God. Some have been fasting for ten years; some have been hanging upside down for 20 years, yet still I do not go to them. I tell you some of the boys will see me as I really am. So urge them to go on loving me more and more and be worthy of this.
