The guide then took them to the summit of Mt. Tibidabo. It was so beautiful that Baba decided to send the tour bus on its way and stay longer. They walked along the hill, looking out over the Mediterranean and the Iberian Pyrenees.

They visited an amusement park, where Baba and the men rode in electric cars and patronized the sideshows. There was a penny arcade and Baba inserted coins in each machine, calling on some children (there to enjoy a puppet show) to help him with the games.

Baba was thoroughly enjoying himself and continued to wander along the mountain. He spotted an inviting cave and commented, "We should stay here the next time I am in Spain." He again remembered those dear to him who were absent. Then they returned to the city.

Baba sat among the fountains and gardens of the crowded Plaza de Cataluna until it was time to leave for the train. It was then that a policeman in the plaza kept glancing at Baba in a marked, significant way, and Baba confirmed that this was the agent whom he had to contact.

On one occasion, Baba explained about his agents:

As holders of distinct and different offices, agents carry out important work for the Avatar. Upon the death of an agent, his office is automatically filled by a successor; for just as there is always an Avatar, so also there are always his agents.

There are three types of agents:

(1) Direct agents, of whom there are very few. There is one in Europe, one in Asia, one in America, one in Africa — in fact, one on almost every important continent. These agents receive directions directly from the Avatar.

(2) Indirect agents, of whom there are few. They receive orders from the direct agents.

(3) Borrowed agents, of whom there are many. They receive orders from the indirect agents.

The principal agents are always on the fourth plane, and through the powers that they wield on this plane, they act for the Avatar. They may even do miracles for him, since the Avatar almost never performs miracles; but if he wished to do so, he must actually station himself on the fourth plane at the time of doing the miracle.

The agents are on the fourth plane only because of the necessity of using certain of their powers for the work of the Avatar. They are not in the position of those [mahayogis] on the spiritual path who, when they reach the fourth plane, may use their powers for good, or may misuse them and fall back to a very primitive state of evolution [stone-form].
