find some visible means whereby we could put that inpouring of Love into action and pour it all forth again for his work; and so feel we were returning to Him a little of his love.
As one looks back on Baba's travels and sees the cables he has laid and is laying right across the world, it comes to one as a wonderful privilege to be able to help (as many of us have done) in the laying of these cables by our material help. We know perfectly well that Baba could do all his work and not use anyone else, but this is not Baba's way. To each he allots specific work.

As he writes, "The pangs and suffering of separation are essential for the experiencing of the bliss of Union." if there was no darkness, none would appreciate the light; so separation there must be, says Baba, to make us appreciate and realize the full significance of Love. And, from that time forth, this is literally what has been happening. I will again take up this narrative — from our next reunion in Italy for three weeks, to Baba's visit to London for nine days in December. Others will fill in the event ful days in Hollywood, and from there to Honolulu, Japan, and China.

The world is so immersed in ignorance that it has no capacity to assess the value of spiritual Truth. Yet the Masters have again and again tried to help the fumbling and bungling masses of humanity by describing Godhood in a language which they could understand. By descending to their level, only some glimpses of that Truth can be imparted. However, for the most part, those who are thickly covered with
