Although they say they don't embarrass, they do. Gandhi too will be jailed. India is in such a mess. If things get out of control, there will be a civil war and Gandhi will die of shock for having caused it all.

Only one thing is true and matters — love! All this mess is just a mess!

About the war, Baba remarked to the men mandali:

Soon Japan, Burma, Singapore, Iran and Turkey will all be involved. The crisis in the West is nearing its climax, and the crisis in the East and in India will begin in January 1941 and last until the middle of 1941, at which time it will begin to wane.

Mussolini will eventually be killed violently; Hitler will commit suicide, though he is my star villain. Russia is very crafty. She helps everyone, and in the end will pinch [steal] everything — Iran, Afghanistan. Both Russia and Japan want India, but won't succeed.

India will suffer more than the West. Fifty percent of the population will be wiped off [out], all starting next year.

Britain will be crushed, but won't give in and won't lose; Germany and Italy will be crushed and lose. England would have been wiped out except for Churchill, who is really clever. He has saved England. If old Chamberlain had been prime minister, England would have been finished.

Baba came to see the women on the 20, 22 and 24 of October. Once, during his visits, while sitting under the trees in the compound, he explained about the mind:

Mind is a good servant, but a bad master. This means if you control it, it will act as you want. The mind is a bad master if it has control over you to go its way. Once the mind's control is firm you are lost! Mind is a storehouse of low desires and always misleads you. It has the stamp of animal desires on it from billions of years.

If you control the mind, desires become inactive. Because the mind also has good desires from human lives, those desires are worked out. Mind is a good servant, but a bad master!

At one point, Baba noticed that Irene was not in a good mood and he asked her, "When you ride a horse, what would you do if it goes out of control?"

Irene replied, "There were certain rules to follow in such situations."
