Baba answered, "And it will break my heart not to touch your feet!"

Ramjoo was quiet and could not say anything else. Baba then freed him from observing the second rule, telling him not to worry and to forget it.

To prevent stray cows and goats from destroying the jasmine saplings, a barbed-wire fence was erected on all four sides of the Jhopdi.

It had been proposed that a flag be flown near the Jhopdi and a debate ensued about it. The Hindus said the color of the flag should be red, but Ramjoo objected, saying that red reflected only Vedanta, and that green was better. Then the Hindus took objection, arguing that green was typically a Mohammedan color. The Parsis and Iranis disapproved of both colors, and to bring about accord, Baba proposed, "The flag should be of seven colors." Dina prepared a flag accordingly and, after it was sewn, it was hoisted near the Master's Jhopdi on the evening of 23 April 1924.

As the flag stirred, Baba remarked, "Do you know why I suggested a seven-colored flag? The seven colors represent the seven planes of consciousness."

Baba had specified the positioning of two colors: "Red should be at the bottom of the flag and sky blue at the top. Arrangement of the other five colors is your decision."

He later added: "Besides representing the seven planes of consciousness, these colors also represent sanskaras. The colors in the flag signify man's rise from the grossest of impressions of lust and anger — symbolized by red — to the culmination in the highest state of spirituality and oneness with God — symbolized by sky blue."

That night, after dinner when all were sitting around Baba, Ramjoo asked him, "What are the stars?"

The Master explained:

Stars, like planets, are spheres; but many of the planets are inhabited by human beings. They resemble the earth in culture, science and in every way materially, but from the spiritual point of view, our earth is the most advanced, for the Perfect Masters are born on this planet.

These other planets seem far off from one another but, in reality, they are close. After Realization a man finds them issuing from himself in the millions — like tiny bubbles. He finds himself to be the source of everything — the Maker of all! Although the gross spheres of the universes are different, the spiritual planes from beginning to end are one.
