“”Baba then emphasized, "I have the Experience and from that Experience, I affirm that it is the work of a moment for the Sadgurus to root out all past actions. The Living Buddha, the Master, can do it in the twinkling of an eye!
"But do not think about it. You will understand all this gradually and know all this to be true. Come back and be with me for six hours in November."
Then describing yoga-samadhi, Baba stated: "Real perception and illumination are permanent, and only the grace of the Master makes a person enlightened. There are so many persons who practice yoga and attain samadhi through it. But this state is temporary. No sooner is a yogi out of samadhi than he becomes aware of the world like any ordinary human being. This means that enlightenment is constant and real knowledge is derived from it. Very few can gain enlightenment — seeing God. So what is there to say about the ultimate union with God — Self-Realization?"
Christmas Humphreys was very impressed with Baba and later wrote of his meeting in an article titled "The Incarnation of Love," from which the following is an excerpt:
For the first time in my life, and I have not met another like him, I found myself in the aura of a man who literally radiated love ... He combined the profundity of mystical experience with the guileless candor of a child, and his smile was as infectious as the words he used were immaterial ... And all the while he radiated such a pure affection that one wondered why, when all religions praise the value of pure love, should it be a memorable experience to meet one man who practiced it.
If there were more Meher Baba 's in the world today, war would end for want of causes. This man of love sets all men an example!
Although Humphreys was deeply moved and touched by Baba, he was too involved with Buddhism to give up that path and follow the Master under his direct guidance.
Other people had similar impressions meeting the Master. Maud McCarthy Foulds had been suffering from asthma. She once narrated what happened after her first meeting with Baba:
