The
discourse, “The Singular Entity”, was given by Bábá September
4, 1978 in Patna. He spoke in both English and Hindi, alternating
paragraphs between the two languages. Bábá's explanations in the
two languages shared a similar subject matter, but differed greatly
in degree of depth and in examples. In the first section Bábá
explained in English about tears of sadness (shokáshru) and tears
of happiness (ánandáshru); and then in the Hindi section He gave
heart-touching examples of both which made the Má́rgiis present
laugh. It was the duty of our Kolkata Publishers to translate these
Hindi sections and include them in the printed English version of the
discourse. However they failed to do so, and so these these examples
were left out of the English publication.
Below
is a scan of the first two pages of the Kolkata Publication of this
discourse. The red rectangle indicates where the Tiljala Publishers
should have translated and inserted the Hindi section where Bábá gives examples about tears of
sadness (shokáshru) and tears of happiness (ánandáshru).
