On 6 July, Baba asked the women mandali, "How do you like this bungalow?" All said it was quite good, and Baba remarked:

This bungalow is very fine, with a lovely garden and other amenities, but the well is almost empty, and there are heaps of snakes! It is said there is a man-eating python on the hill near our compound. But no amount of snakes, mosquitoes and insects will make us move from here! Unless there is no more drinking water; then we might shift to another bungalow.

I do not move from a place for nothing. Just consider how, with such a large party and such heavy baggage, I have been traveling, and think what it costs. We have to sit or stand, cramped in the train or bus like pieces of luggage. And, when I tell Elizabeth to brush her teeth in the early morning, after saying, "What, why, how, when and where," she goes back to sleep!

This tour has an objective, else I would not take you from place to place. In these journeys, you are harassed, and so am I; but for my work, I have to do it.

On Sunday afternoon, 7 July 1940, Baba talked with the women about various matters:

From August 1, we will speak about the war and nothing else. The conditions that prevail in the world today are the cause of its suffering. But this misery and suffering are not for emancipation. Only love can achieve that. The worst of sinners, after undergoing untold privations, have turned into the greatest of saints. Even a sinner worse than Hitler can become a saint. If a man such as Hitler were really to feel what he has done and repent for it, then it would be greatness on his part.

All this is the play of the mind! The mind goes one way and it keeps on going. Hitler thinks that what he does is absolutely right — that he is doing justice for Germany. Mussolini thinks what he is now doing for Italy, compared to its former suffering, is quite good. With these thoughts, for their one right, they feel justified to commit millions of wrongs!
