The reporter continued: "You do not. Have you heard of an American evangelist by the name of Billy Graham? Have you met and spoken with him.

Baba again gestured, "No"

Reporter: "Have you heard of his work?"

Baba said, "I know."

Reporter: "Can you tell us what you think of his work?"

Baba replied, "Any work done in the name of God or Lord Jesus is a good work. But it must be done sincerely, honestly, without taking any pride in it, without wanting to profit through it."

At this point Baba seemed anxious to leave, and indicated people were waiting for Him inside. The reporter asked one more question, whether Baba would break His silence of thirty-one years during His present trip to the United States. Baba replied:

"No, no. When I was in India, I decided to go into seclusion for one year. I had this news circulated to all My lovers. This trip is an interval of one month in My seclusion. When I return to India, I will resume My seclusion. There are five more months until it is completed. After My seclusion, whenever I think fit, I shall break My silence."

Reporter: "But not in this country?"

Baba: "No."

Reporter: Is he India's present Mahatma Ghandi?"

Baba replied: "I am not concerned with politics. Ghandiji was a good soul. He loved Me very much. Adi Irani will tell you the details about this. It is a question that has been asked repeatedly and he knows My answer. The fact is that Ghandi loved Me very much. He met Me three times. Mr. Irani will give you the whole account."

Baba wished to end the conference at this point and some of the reporters remonstrated. One asked if there were any truth in the reincarnation theory as mentioned in "Bridey Murphy" Baba indicated that the reporter might find the answer to that question in His book, "God Speaks,"
