Nariman's faith and love for me are such that I can depend on him to do anything in the world for me.

About Kuppuswami, I will say in the meeting next December.

Those who are lecturing for me and impressing people about my work are like my tongue. They are in fact my mouthpiece. Others who work for me are like my other limbs.

Ghani and Deshmukh praised Baba for his extraordinary love for his disciples, and pointed out how the disciples were really unworthy of all the praise bestowed on them by the Master.

Baba then gave a brief picture of world affairs: "The politicians of the East and West are not aware of the existing complexities. I said before that there would be no victor and no vanquished."

An article from the Times of India was read out describing the world situation and the complicated problems arising in various countries. Baba commented:

The world situation has become extremely complicated. After the defeat of Germany, the Russian problem has become very significant. The question of Japan's defeat remains to be tackled. The climax of the war will come in December and then the real game will start. All nations will feel helpless, and either a third World War will be the result, or someone like one of us [Masters] will come forward to help them. At that time I will say my namaz [prayer]. That namaz will be the drawing out of the Divine Sword!

Taking everything into consideration, I have decided upon three points:

First: Next December all the signatories of mine, about 400 to 500 in number, will stay with me for one whole month.

Second: Until December, I want to be free from all correspondence and contacts to enable me to work in full swing.

Third: From January, those of the signatories who will be given specific work in India or abroad, either in my company or alone, will have to do it. They should be ready for it.

The one-month proposed meeting during December 1945 was discussed, and it was decided that the gathering be held in Raipur. Particulars of the Raipur congregation were outlined and the meeting terminated. It was decided to issue a circular informing the signatories of the decisions taken and of the details settled.

Baba again granted separate interviews to all in the evening and gave individual instructions. The out-of-town lovers left for their respective homes the following day, Saturday, 26 May 1945.
