A lover from Jhansi had come. He related to Baba, in a very touching manner, how Baba had helped him lately. He said that he had to go to Delhi for his son's marriage. He met some higher authorities, but was refused accommodation. He resigned himself to Baba's will and left the office. Just when he was at the gate, he was called in again and was told that they could spare a house for him! He told Baba that his son had met with a motorcycle accident resulting in paralysis of his left foot. Neurosurgeons had advised craniotomy. He was afraid of getting his son operated upon. Baba called the son, who came in limping. Baba gave him a packet of biscuits and asked him to eat a small piece of biscuit daily, repeating Baba's name.

Baba again turned to the Sadhu and said, "There are two types of egos. The ordinary ego of this world and the Divine Ego—'I am God'. One who has realized God says that he is God, whether people believe it or not. He has got to assert that he is God. If people were to tell you that you are a woman, you would be forced to assert that you are a man. In the same way, one who has realized God is forced to assert that he is God. When I break my Silence people will realize that I am God. Blessed are those who recognize me before I break my Silence.

On the Sixth Plane of consciousness, the lover pines for union with God. Out of thousands of such lovers, one gets God-Realization. Out of thousands of such realized ones, a rare one comes down as a Perfect Master on this earth. One may intellectually believe that one is God, and one with all, but one has to remove six curtains before one actually sees God every-where! That seeing is more clear than your seeing this world with your eyes. To say 'I am God,' is easy, but to experience this is extremely difficult."

Two men came to request Baba to distribute prizes to several cricket teams affiliated with the Poona District Cricket Association. They said that they knew Baba liked cricket very much, and so they had come to Him. They also said that the cricketeers would be happy to meet Baba. Baba consented to distribute the prizes on the 26th of May between 2:00 and 3:00 P.M. He said, “I don't play cricket now, but I do play the Universal Divine Game which includes cricket.”

In the afternoon Baba told us that there would be a great upheaval in the world when he breaks his Silence. A year after the breaking of his Silence he would drop his body. Baba said that he was a hard taskmaster and so we should keep up our courage and face all that happens. He said
