196 THE GOD-MAN(4) Life of God in essence; and of a man in action.(5) Life of Strength born of inherent Knowledge of Oneness; and of weakness born ofbinding desires."My efforts for manonash have been positive, and the result will be positive. But the actualand concrete manifestation of this result I leave entirely to the Divine Sanction; where, how,and when the result will be, I leave entirely to the Divine Decree. It may be at any moment,hour, month, year or age. It may be in any part of the wor1d - in the East or in the West, in theNorth or in the South - yet in effect it will embrace all four spheres. It may be under any andall circumstances."I feel that it will be a sudden coming and becoming of the essence of all Love, Unity,Realization, Revelation and Illumination, in its varying degrees, for me and for all connectedwith me."During my work of manonash the four companions who were with me, and also others whoare near or away from me, have helped me to their utmost limit. Throughout my manonashperiod I have been absolutely helpless and full of weaknesses in my ordinary human state, andit can truly be said that God in his manifestation, and that the saints and the prayers of allthose who love me, have accomplished for me the internal work of manonash, while the fourcompanions have seen to its external aspect...."He said that he intended to go to the West at the beginning of April; to lead a 'complicatedfree life' from 21 March, a 'fu11 free life' from 10 July, and a 'fiery free life' from 15November. All who wished to come to him could do so from 21 March:"Although the manonash work is done fully and completely, and the results must and willdefinitely come one hundred per cent to my satisfaction, I now give freedom to all who areconnected to me, to choose what manner of life they henceforth wish to live. They are freeeither to live with me and obey my orders or to live away from me and obey my orders; freeeither to lead the life I te11 them to lead, or to lead their own lives in any way they please - i.e.completely free from orders of any kind from me. This includes the 'Arrangementwallas'-but,in their case, the only kind of freedom I cannot give them is freedom from the responsibilitythat they have shouldered to the end."No matter what the choice, everyone will share when the Real Freedom comes - at anymoment-by the Grace of God."The seclusion was completed on 16 February, when Baba had the following read out:
THE NEW LIFE 197"O God: today being my first real birthday, my heart expresses that the declaration of the'Life' by me was entirely yours and by your will."All my knowledge and my ignorance, all my strength and my weakness, a11 my freedomand my bondage are as you have desired and decreed."This life eternal will be lived by me in conformity with your will and every word of thedeclaration of the 'Life' will come to pass by your grace."This was the culmination of the New Life in the absorption of the Old Life and theemergence of the Free Life. The New Life was the voluntary suspension of the state of PerfectMaster to become a common man and a Perfect Seeker; in the four months' seclusion waseffected the dissolution of the natural mind in its normal working, and its transformation inthe divine or infinite mind, which is the intellect itself, the intuitive or creative mind. This hadnow been accomplished; thereafter, as Baba said himself, he was free. The significance of thisimportant stage in Baba's life will be commented upon in Part II of this book.
