Sri Sai Baba`S:Charters And Sayings

already under His eye, and that therefore it is not
impossible that any one of you might be needed and
might be used as a channel for force. Many different
kinds of force are poured out by our Masters for many
different purposes. Sometimes one person is suitable
as a channel and sometimes another. If you watch
the case of two pupils side by side, you will
see that one is used always for one type of force
and the other for another—quite a different type.
Now, as I say, there are many such types. It might
well happen that, in a given place, there was no
pupil quite suitable for some particular kind of out-
pouring, and there might be among you someone
who, though not so far advanced, was very suitable
for that particular purpose. In such a case the
Master would want to use you ; and remember that
this outpouring is on the physical as well as astral, men-
tal, buddhic and other higher planes. If your physical
body failed Him for a moment in this most important
respect, ^He would not, He could not, utilise it,

physical body might not be in a condition of perfect
