With your gross eyes, you can only see the playthings of maya — this table, chair, et cetera. But the internal eye, which these masts have, sees through all these and in them sees God alone.
I love these lovers of God. They care for nothing of the world. They are so blissfully indifferent, even about their bodily needs — all for love of God, while the whole world only craves and cries for things of maya, and rushes at each other's throats for its gratification! These masts are true soldiers of God!
Alu Khambatta and her office partner, Dr. Paramanand, had returned from Europe and had private interviews with Baba on 22 April 1939.
Chanji returned that day, bringing Rustom's daughters Meheru and Naggu. He was sent again to Bombay the same day, and, he returned on 2 May with a group of his relatives, including his nieces Arnavaz and Nargis Dadachanji, and also Goher, who was living with the family. Meheru and Naggu were in school, but would always come to Baba during their Christmas and summer holidays, as would Arnavaz and Nargis.
Chanji also collected Rustom's one-year-old son Jangoo from Nasik. As related, Rustom's wife Freiny had a mental breakdown and could not take care of her infant son, so Baba put the baby in Khorshed's charge, and had him kept in the ashram. During this stay in Jabalpur, Jangoo became seriously ill and was saved from dying only by Baba's grace.
May 3rd was Manu Jessawala's birthday, and to celebrate Baba asked the women to stage a play. Mani, who was quite talented at such endeavors, wrote a humorous skit parodying the present world leaders. Mani took the part of Hitler, Katie was Mussolini, Rano was Prime Minister Chamberlain, and Meheru and Naggu had other roles. The skit was performed before Baba and the mandali at 7:00 P.M. and all were amused. Exactly four months later, the Second World War was declared. No doubt Baba was working through this seemingly innocuous play by a few of the women.
Baba would frequently ask to be entertained with skits. Once Rano played the part of a Parsi priest and had to speak her lines in Gujarati. She memorized the part well, but while on stage got nervous and fumbled with her words. Baba commented that he enjoyed her mistakes more than any other part of the play.
