There has been considerable discussion as to whether Bhagavan could and did make a Will. A number of people disparage the idea altogether, while others place all the responsibility for it on the evil machinations of those surrounding him, who in some mysterious manner concocted a document which had full legal sanction. There are a number of people who still say that what passes as a Will is no Will at all, although it has been upheld in a Court of Law. As no record of it has been published in any of the Ashram books, I have thought it expedient to give an account of it here.
