When the universes are so numerous — millions and millions — how can one continue observing them with his gross eyes? Who can conclude what reason or purpose lay behind this cosmic game between these two Perfect Ones? Upasni Maharaj once commented that he saw everything in its infinite expanse in one view; while Meher Baba commented that he saw everything in its expanse, but in panoramic detail.
Meanwhile, during Baba's long stay at Sakori, Memo was becoming terribly upset that her son had not returned to Poona. She went to Babajan and asked when her son would come home.
Babajan murmured, "My beloved son ... My son ..."
Memo shouted at her, "He is not your son! He is my son!"
"From where did you bring him?" Babajan asked. "He belongs to the whole world, not to you!" Again she murmured, "Ah, mera piarra beta !"
Memo sensed it was hopeless to try to get any definite answer from Babajan, and she returned home frustrated. Later she requested her mother, Golandoon and her niece, Naja, to try to persuade Babajan to call Merwan back to Poona. However, as before, Babajan shifted the conversation with Golandoon to their homeland and to Persian poetry. The two Persian ladies began reminiscing, laughing and crying together like the closest of friends and Golandoon forgot to ask Babajan to send for Merwan.
Golandoon was sent several times to Babajan at Memo's insistence. Once, when Golandoon remembered to ask, Babajan replied, "My beloved son belongs to the world! ... He will shake the world to its foundation one day! Why do you worry about him? He is now out of your hands!" Her remarks touched Golandoon but they did not console Memo.
Finally, Memo became so distressed that she went to Sakori to confront Upasni Maharaj. Memo had been to Sakori a few times before; whenever Merwan had gone there she would inevitably find out and arrive later, hoping to persuade him to let her take him back. Usually Maharaj would meet her as she entered Sakori, and he too would shift the conversation to some other topic so that she would forget to inquire about Merwan. Maharaj's trick would dawn on her only when she was on her way back to Poona in the train. Memo would curse, "That old man has fooled me again!"
On this occasion Memo was determined not to fall for one of Upasni Maharaj's tricks.
