350 THE GOD-MANoperation!' And so it was that I teasingly warned Dr. Kenmore who is once again allowed to be here for afew weeks from this September, 'You will be literally "running after" Baba this time.'But despite this unexpected and heartening progress, Baba's general health has been far from good. Attimes one sees a great tiredness in his eyes, and he says, 'I am not only infinitely tired, but infinitely tiredof being tired. But my work must and will be done.'The five last months of the year had been a tremendous strain. He looked extremely worn and weak.When the seclusion ended he did not want any visitors or letters. On 9 December a message was issuedwhich stated:This obeying me and holding on to me denotes on your part complete and unconditional surrenderanceto my will, and as such requires from me no statement, no clarification or declaration, regarding theimport or results of my universal working in this world or the three worlds or beyond. Whatever I may sayor may not say; do, undo, or not do; my lovers' trust in me and resignation to my will cannot seek from mea reason or explanation. But, because of my love for you my dear ones who are part and parcel of myInfinite Self, I state the following:The infinitely crucial phase of my work has been completed to my entire satisfaction, on the 28th ofOctober as stated by me. The essential period of work to follow, will end equally satisfactorily on the 24thof December.The result of this my work will be 100% established on the 24th of December. This result will manifestin two stages: my Humiliation and my Glorification.In the stage of Humiliation, the measure of your love for me and your preparedness to obey me will betested, not by me but by the phase of Humiliation itself. Blessed will those be among you who will hangon to my daaman through it all, emerging triumphant in the divine glory of my Love.The stage of Glorification to follow, will be when I break my silence with the divine Word - THEWORD that will indisputably assert the existence of God, in the mind and heart of man; that will make theworld know that God not only exists, but that HE ALONE exists, infinitely and eternally.I will break my silence and give the Word in 1960 in any month, on any day, at any moment.
