The lover should cleanse his heart of all doubts, and be eager to fill it with the fire of love.
Many horses cannot run in this race — only a few; many peacocks are not found in this lane — only a few.
The heart of the lover is the lair of the lion; whoever enters this lane, enters only when he is totally fed up with life! It is a mistake to talk with others about love and its pangs; it is an insult to complain about love and service. If one happens to have even a ray of that love, he has gained all the prosperity of the world! For the lover who has seen the Beloved, the wealth of such a person is only love. His life is then Eternal Existence.
Then Baba said, "Now, speak up! Who wants to stay with me?" All consented, which pleased Baba, and he concluded, "Very good; let us see what the future holds." Baba indicated he wished to send for Rustom, Ramjoo ("Ramjoo remembers me a great deal"), Dastur, and the boy Vasant, and that he would make this decision when he arrived in Yezd.
Meanwhile, Raosaheb informed Baba that he had seen some local townspeople wearing lockets with Baba's image pinned to their coats, and they had expressed their joy at Meher Baba's presence in Isfahan. They were waiting for the opportunity to meet the Master.
Baba asked the mandali, "How did they know I was here? Who gave them the lockets?"
Two boys, Sayyed and Hassen, who were working for the mandali as servants, were questioned. Although they lied at first, they finally admitted to telling others about Meher Baba.
Baba warned them, "Never tell a lie, even if you have to die because of something you have done. Wherever you may be, either in the world or with me, never lie."
Baba made them promise this, and then he embraced them. The people in Isfahan who had come to know about Baba would continually request the Master's darshan. Finally, Baba agreed to see them. Many came, both rich and poor. They went away with Baba's photographs and lockets, although wearing pendants of a guru's image was not permitted in Islam. Some had even touched Baba's feet. Only Baba's love could make these Muslims do this. Even the fanatics bowed before the divine power of Baba's love! Baba and the group left Isfahan for Yezd on Tuesday, 22 October 1929.
Before departing, Baba remarked, "If seclusion is possible in Yezd, good; otherwise, we will see later on."
