Dhanapathy was injured slightly; his hand was bandaged.The others received only bruises.A wall had stopped their forward motion; otherwise, the jeep would have turned over completely and someone might have been killed.The accident occurred at the exact spot where, the day before, Baba's car had almost gone into the canal.
Dr. Dhanapathy cried out to Baba, "O Lord, you have saved us from being killed.Only your grace saved us; otherwise, we would have all been crushed to death.This is due to your miracle."
“”
Baba replied, "I have not yet performed any miracle.It is news to me."
Baba asked K.D.R.M. to have lunch, and then at two in the afternoon, accompanied by the group, he went to the National Club building, where he was to give darshan.After being received by the secretary of the Meher Center, Baba sat down for a while on the floor, and the Vijayawada messages were read out to the crowd.Ramjoo then read the message "Material and Spiritual Science," which Jagannadham translated into Telugu.
For two hours, Baba distributed prasad to the assembly, which numbered about 4,000.He stopped the distribution at four o'clock and walked outside to a mango tree, sat down under it and remained quiet for a few minutes.Then they all left for Rajahmundry, where the meeting of the workers was to be convened.They arrived there at six o'clock
Andhra, 1 March 1954
At nine o'clock on 1 March 1954, the meeting of all those assembled in the Gurukul Hall at Rajahmundry began.(Several of the mandali and Andhra workers arrived after the meeting had started.)It was an important occasion for Age, who observed, "Meher Baba's explanations will serve as a beacon to pilgrims on the Path for ages to come, giving them a true understanding of what real work for the Avatar consists of and what it means."
Baba first handed everyone a cup of coffee to help them keep awake.Thereafter, in explaining the significance of his darshan programs, he stated:
“”
Today is not a political or social meeting, but a meeting for the Divine Cause.This meeting reminds me of my previous meetings during my previous incarnations.It has never been truer than in the spiritual cause that history repeats itself.During those past periods, the circumstances were different, but the same God and the same Cause.The apostles [of Jesus], the ashabs [of Muhammad] , who worked for my cause did it at the cost of everything, even life itself.
