Twenty or thirty years ago, I pointed out that there are other planets besides Earth where living beings exist. Still, I emphatically say that God can only be realized on this Earth. God is everywhere, but he manifests as the Avatar only on this Earth. Perfect Masters are also found only on the Earth and nowhere else. On one planet people have enlarged their intellects so much so that they can survive for hundreds of years. But the people there are 99 percent atheists. On all of these evolved planets, the mind predominates and the heart is totally undeveloped. On some planets, people are totally devoid of heart; there is not even one percent place for [feeling love]. Except for the Earth, on all other evolved worlds intellect alone prevails. Therefore, God cannot be realized on those planets. These souls must take birth on this Earth to realize God.

On the 4th, Baba spontaneously dictated this prayer which he instructed Kenmore to recite in his presence:

May Thy will be done, O Perfect One,
My will not prevail, it's of no avail.
Where union with Thee is concerned,
I will toil and I will strive, while I am alive,
To love and obey, all night and all day,
Till union with Thee I have earned.

Adi came on the 6th to discuss a circular that Baba wished to issue. Don and Noshir Siganporia came the same day from Meherabad for certain instructions.

As instructed, both the Meherazad and Meherabad mandali fasted from 8:00 P.M. on the 7th for 24 hours without food or water. Bhau had been ordered to keep silence instead of fasting, as he had to be on nightwatch and was already foregoing his evening meal. In the hall, he unwrapped a toffee that Baba had distributed the previous day and showed it to Eruch, Francis and Pukar.

Baba asked what was going on, and Pukar informed him, "We cannot eat and he [Bhau] cannot speak."

Baba replied:

When the tongue is silent, the mind speaks;
When the mind is silent, the heart sings;
When the heart stops singing,
the Soul begins to experience its original Self.

Baba continued, "In deep sleep, tongue, mind and heart are silent and one is unconscious. The difficulty is to keep the mind silent in full consciousness. If one can go into deep sleep and remain awake, one has it! One becomes what one originally was and eternally is — God."
