DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT I AM ALWAYS SPEAKING?C. B. Purdom
It will be observed that he speaks here of a 'speaking-to-myself' which was to last for six months. What this meant he has not disclosed and he did not speak in February 1942. In Poona in November 1962 he said that the following year, 1963, would be devoted to 'preparation for the urge' to speak. No one has ever heard him speak to himself, not even those who have been with him day and night, and are near to him during his seclusions. I was once told by Ramjoo that years ago Baba informed some of the mandali that he proposed to speak, and brought a number of them to a distant place, which they reached after days of strenuous walking. When they arrived he made each stand around him at a distance of fifty feet or more with their backs to him, he standing in the centre; at the clapping of his hands they were to turn to him and he would speak. He clapped his hands, they turned, but heard nothing. He smiled and beckoned them to him. Why had he not spoken? they asked. He said, 'Do you not know I am always speaking?' Indeed, he has said that 'the voice of intuition is my voice.' THE GOD-MAN, pp. 412-413
