1932Page 1,355 of 5,444
"Dear and Beloved Sir, You are nearing departure from our United States. I feel that I may join with the others who have been privileged to meet you in saying that America is blessed in having you. May you return soon and remain long in our midst.
"We have been ten days flying westward. Not one hour have you been absent from our hearts and minds, and the picture graces the wall of each stopping place, bringing remembrance, love and gratitude."
"I just want you to know that I know beyond the shadow of a doubt who you are — the living Lord of Love. You are in my heart and I know that you are holding me in yours."
"Once more before you sail, I want to tell you that I love you and long from the depths of my soul to enter into the heart of love — illumined so that I may reflect henceforth only that Love. You will go, but you will remain in my heart and may you soon return. The world needs you for the world is starving for love. You know what my heart's dream is and so I think of you always that I may one day radiate and be one with shining spiritual love — that universal love that will fulfill and illuminate all mankind. In deepest gratitude."
"Now that I have seen the Flower of Humanity I know what is the goal of life and shall never again falter or linger on the way. Whether we come or go in time or space, we know your great love encompasses us and our thoughts and love will be with you constantly from now on."
In a joint letter from Norina and Anita on 15 January 1932, they wrote:
We were just thinking of you as if you were in the room with us, your presence created is so clear in perception that all the little problems of every day become merely plays, and we its actors. What a glorious time we live! Every hour is a new demarcation stone in our lives.
Oh, Baba, we begin to understand: your creation is to us now what in its ultimate outcome means growth, understanding, resurrection.
