"What you have to do from today, after having seen me and contacted me, is have a burning longing to see God, to become one with God with this thought: 'Baba, let me see God and then let me give light and happiness to others.' This thought should be constantly with you, wherever you are and whatever you do: 'Baba help me to know God, to see God and then give light and happiness to others.' You are the first ones to whom I have explained this. I saw many but such instructions are given first to you. Do it honestly, faithfully."
The couple agreed, and Baba continued, explaining to them about intuition:
"When you feel something as intuition and have no doubt about it, then know it is real. Passing doubtful thoughts and temporary emotional feelings should not be given importance. But when you feel it touches your heart, follow it. When it is from the mind, it is not intuition. Intuition means that which comes from the heart. In the divine path, first there is intuition, then inspiration, then illumination, and finally Realization.
"If it touches your heart, follow it. And, God willing, from today you will know that if it is intuition it is right. My love will help you and guide you to understand what is right. Love Baba. God wants honest love. He is all honesty and wants honest love. So love Baba. God will help you in your quest for the Truth."
Frank Eaton, 41, had been helping Elizabeth develop the Myrtle Beach Center since 1944. Frank had heard about Meher Baba in the early 1940s. He also met Baba for the first time on 11 May, at 5:30 P.M.
"At last Frank has come," Baba stated. "Elinorina have been talking so much about you. You've worked so lovingly at the Center and I wanted to see you so much. Now, God willing, you will get what you want."
"Baba, my wife [Irene] does not believe you are God," Frank said.
"Be loving to her even if she does not believe in me. God willing, one day she will get that Light. I know all, don't worry. Leave everything to me. Love me as you do and, God willing, everything will be straightened out."
Baba spoke with a Sufi named Mrs. Orr later in the afternoon.
On 12 May 1952, Dr. G. D. Vinod, a professor from New York, who knew the Winterfeldts, saw Baba at 8:15 A.M. Part of his interview is reproduced here:
