Thus, tackling these individual problems presented to me, however difficult, delicate and unsolvable they might be — to me, they are insignificant and too small. As the ant bite is hardly noticeable compared to the sting of a scorpion, so when compared with the burden of mankind's suffering of the entire humanity, these individual complicated problems are nothing!

It is my life mission to remove the burden of mankind's suffering. I have come for this. But really speaking, it is not the "work", but the ignorance of people and their underlying indifference toward things spiritual that make me suffer.

In Meherabad, also, relationships were not always harmonious amongst the women. Baba was planning another tour, and so he gathered the women to correct the situation,

Mend your ways or go. You leave your home, your family to dedicate all to me, yet live a life of binding. You have no freedom to go out to cinemas or theaters. In every way, you sacrifice for love. You all love me, take me to be God — and I really am God — but the one thing that is a shortcoming in you all is this complete lack of control! If you had control, you would be jewels as disciples! But control in all of you is so disastrously lacking that it makes it very difficult for me to adjust all your other good points. This one lack makes the whole thing a farce!

Here, only twelve of you, and yet no harmony. You all do not love each other. You cannot tolerate each other. The slightest provocation demonstrates your weaknesses to the highest. Norina and Nadine tell the world, "We live with the greatest Master of the age!" But you do not say, "We stay with him and fight like dogs and cats!" I warn you all very seriously, East and West — Control [yourselves]!

Repeating what he had told Kitty and Rano earlier in Sholapur at the start of the Blue Bus Tours:

Very seriously, whenever you get excited, or feel others are unjust, or you feel they pass remarks, or you feel you are in the right and they in the wrong — the very moment you feel all this, remember me and get control. Pinch yourself, go aside. You must take practical steps. The moment you feel excited, make a fuss, remember me and begin singing or dancing — very practical solution.
