Baba concluded, "I want every one of you to observe absolute secrecy about all I have told you now. Therefore, none of you should tell anyone not present here anything about these instructions."

Those of Group "A" who did not attend were: Homi Hansotia, Sampath Aiyangar, Savak Damania and Vadive.

Those of Group "B" who did not attend were: Bhagirath, Dinshaw Sailor, Gosi Irani, Homi Desai (of Lahore), and Padma (Krishna's brother). These instructions for Group "B" were read:

I am very happy you have willingly agreed and promised to implicitly obey my instructions to help in my work of establishing spiritual freedom in the world. The instructions that I will give you are based on four specific foundations, each different in its aspect of execution and result, although the main effect of these different results will fundamentally be one and the same. Therefore, in short, I am classifying them in four separate functions, and calling them four instructions. The four specific foundations forming the basis of these four instructions are:

1. Temporary fasting;
2. Temporary seclusion and solitude;
3. Special concentration and meditation;
4. Visiting different places to spread certain spiritual facts.

These four instructions might bring in their wake four conditions:

Physical weakness;

Mental exhaustion;

Obstacles and difficulties;

Numerous inconveniences.
