I wanted nothing from him. I loved him as Jesus was loved by his disciples. I therefore gave my life into his keeping and knew that my search was at an end.
A spiritual drama was being staged in Delia's heart, and she surrendered to Baba forever. She was now eager to witness the play within, and she clung to Baba's feet for all time to come. How wonderful was this meeting in the theater with the Star of the Universal Show!
Delia was destined to play a part in the Divine Drama. She was to play her true role in the Master's universal cinema as one of his circle members — like Margaret and Kitty.
Later, Delia brought her younger sister Aminta Toledano, 23, her brother Jack, 28, and her mother to meet Baba. (Her father had died many years before.) Delia's sister was called Minta and she once recollected her first meeting with Baba:
My sister Delia had met Baba at the theater and was absolutely bowled over. She asked me if I would like to meet him and I said yes. I was not seeking as she was, but when she told me what reactions she had had to Baba, I said I would like to meet him too.
The first time I saw him at Kitty's house, I was terribly moved. I can't say why at all; I found myself weeping and could not stop. Suddenly Baba spelled out on the board to one of the mandali, "Ask her why she is weeping."
I spontaneously said, "Because you are so beautiful." From that point on, I only wanted to look at him and be with him; just sit on the floor and look at him. I didn't want to ask anything.
Baba was wearing a white robe with his hair long; his face was very, very beautiful. There was an aura [of light] around him which one cannot really describe. In his presence, I could not look at anyone else. I couldn't think of anyone or anything else.
My mother and brother met Baba at the same time. Jack functioned on an intellectual level and Baba did not really function on that level at all or answer [theoretical] questions; consequently, my brother was put off. My mother was also very skeptical and did not get involved with Baba. But I was really taken with him and was told I could come again. I went every time it was possible.
