It proved an effective medium for the Master to remove any resentment or misunderstanding brewing between these two strong personalities.
Baba and Sadashiv arrived in Sakori early in the morning on 15 October. On the same day, Daulatmai had also arrived with her two daughters, Piroja and Mehera. While Maharaj's niece, Gangi, was giving them a tour, they heard footsteps descending a nearby staircase. Gangi told Mehera and Piroja, "Merwanji, Maharaj's closest disciple, is coming." Baba swiftly descended the stairs and walked past them, giving Mehera, who was very shy, her first opportunity of seeing him.
Although no words were spoken, it was a great moment. Age was deeply moved by its significance. Mehera's heart was struck by Baba's countenance and sang out: "At last, at last! I've seen the Lord at last!"
Mehera's mother, Daulatmai, had met the Master before when she had been to Sakori, but she had not explained to her daughters about Upasni Maharaj or Meher Baba.
Later, in Maharaj's thatched hut, Mehera and her mother and sister were seated on the floor when Baba entered. With folded hands, he stood before Maharaj, who beckoned him to leave and wait outside under a nearby mango tree. He immediately bowed to Maharaj and left, circling the hut three times performing what is known to Hindus as parikrama — reverently honoring the guru's abode. Seeing Baba's love for his Master touched Mehera's heart. The Divine Song had called her awakening heart to Sakori, and he himself had traveled here only to meet her.
Mehera's tears were now crying, "O Song! How humble you are! How beautiful you are!"
And the Song replied: "I am yours forever and you are mine. Because I am humble, my melody will melt the hardest stone!"
Mehera spontaneously longed to be with Baba and the voice of Age whispered, "Pure One! Soon you will join your beloved Lord, and the lute of your life will play his sweet song every day!"
Maharaj emerged from his hut and sat with Baba in the mango grove. Together they arranged plans for Baba's mandali to come to Sakori for two days during the upcoming Diwali festival of lights.
After staying in Sakori for eighteen hours, Baba and Sadashiv left for Ahmednagar. He bid farewell to all those at Sakori as he climbed into a waiting tonga. The devotees of Upasni Maharaj rushed forward to touch his feet, but he waved them away and swiftly rode off in the tonga.
