1317THE WEST LEARNS TO SING1931

It can never be told with the words of the mouth;

it can never be written on paper.

Baba had revealed to me his Universal Form, as Krishna revealed to Arjuna — and with the revelation went all my reservations. I capitulated. I knew what Baba was. I knew what his mission was. I knew it was my destiny to serve him.

During a conversation the next morning after breakfast, Baba predicted that another World War would break out: "The war is a necessary prelude to my manifestation and the subsequent birth of a new and better world." The group questioned Baba concerning this, and as this discussion was ending, Malcolm entered the room.

Baba embraced Malcolm and asked with a twinkle in his eye, if he had slept well. Malcolm nodded and said, "Baba, why don't you reveal yourself to everyone as you revealed yourself last night to me? Then there would be no need of wars!" Baba smiled and embraced Malcolm again.

Baba's simple instruction about remembering him before going to sleep gave rise to similar elevating experiences among those at Harmon. Jean reported she felt radiant with energy pouring into her all day. Baba had told her to rest in her room on the 18th, where she said she felt Baba with her all the while, and that she could see Baba with her eyes open or shut.

After one such experience, Mary said to Baba, "You are the Jesus, the Lord of the New Creation!"

Baba nodded in the affirmative and replied, "Yes, I am He."

Meanwhile other visitors arrived to meet the Master. A well-known public figure, Harry Barnhart, was the organizer and conductor of the predominantly black New York Community Chorus and a friend of the Schlosses. Barnhart, 57, had a keen interest in ESP and had some psychic abilities apparently, as from childhood he could accurately read people's minds. He had come to see Baba on 11 November, and returned a week later on the 18th with his wife to stay at Harmon for two days. Barnhart related that he had tried to read Baba's mind, but found it strangely "blank."

During his meeting on the 18th, Barnhart asked Baba, "How are you? Are you treated well here? I find that many of those that come here don't understand you, and I don't like the [disrespectful] way they treat you. People here are very peculiar. They don't understand. They hesitate, doubt."
