Whatever I say, whatever I am, whenever and wherever I will be, is because of the Five Sadgurus. Every time, it is the same thing. I have to be what I am, and this is due to the Five Sadgurus. Babajan — whom I refer to as the Emperor — Upasni Maharaj, Sai Baba, they hold the key to the whole universe. Sai Baba in his physical body was always found to be smoking his chillum. He also used to cough and spit. He used to demand money from those who went to him. People used to go to him with their difficulties. And now, you find a film on Sai Baba's life, his image even on matchboxes. When I heard songs here today, I was reminded of the Five Sadgurus bringing me to your level. It is because of them that I appear to you and declare that I am everything. Of my own accord, I would never come. Sai Baba was found the whole day with his chillum. His eyes were lustrous, and he had a wonderful personality. Like Sai Baba, after I drop this body, people will understand me. And in my presence you are dozing!
Everyone present laughed, and Baba concluded:
No spiritual topic from tomorrow. Parsis, listen! Zoroaster was the Avatar. The essence of his three principles is to be found in the teachings of all religions. What I say also comes within these three Zoroastrian principles. Remember his name. Don't bring him into disrepute. Learn to love God. Think of me always!
Most of the lovers of the Gujarati group had been in Meher Baba's contact for several years, and Baba was quite jovial in their company. Dr. Hoshang Bharucha, though, had come to Meherabad for the first time during this sahavas. He had met Baba in Bombay in 1952, but since then he had not seen Baba because of his close connection with those at Sakori. During the sahavas, Baba paid much attention to him. Baba would make him sit beside him and would occasionally pat his back.
One day after lunch, Hoshang and a friend, Eruch Karadia (also a follower of Godavri Mai), were standing near Baba's cabin.
Baba called them inside and asked Hoshang, "What is the aim of your life?"
"I want to realize God," he replied.
