You have five days here. Try to grasp as much as possible of what I convey. You might not get another chance like this. This body is meant to be dropped one day and perhaps you will not see me again. After I drop my body, there may be hundreds and thousands of people coming here, others giving them lectures on Baba, but that will be nothing compared to your presence here with me. It is the opportunity of your lifetime to have my darshan in my physical form, because I am personally explaining all this to you. So take advantage of it by listening carefully. Whatever you hear from me now, later people will read in books. Whatever I tell you is quite true.
Referring to Kaikobad, Baba said:
He has been with me for the last several years; he has a family and has dedicated everything to me. He is from the Parsi priest class. His family is staying on Meherabad Hill. He says nothing now belongs to him, everything is Baba's. I have accepted his dedication. He is always with me wherever I go. For twelve years he has been with me. Since that time, until today, he is daily taking my name 100,000 times in 24 hours. My name has become his very breath.
In 1946, on Meherabad Hill, he had a glimpse of my divinity. Throughout all the journeys and stays at different places, he continued the nam japa . Once on 31 August 1953, he was on the point of falling down and dropping his body. His experiences continue even now. "I can see Baba whenever I want to see him," he says. I am so infinite that even I cannot fathom my own divinity!
You have come here for my sahavas, so I must tell you all that I want to tell you. Every day I bow down to Kaikobad because he sees Baba as Baba ought to be seen. He takes my darshan as much as it can be taken. Therefore, I put my head on his feet. When I bow down to the mandali, to the poor, to the sadhus, the lepers, and so forth, this bowing down is no show; neither is it an expression of humility. I do it out of my love for humanity.
I must tell you everything of my ways. Try to grasp what I say. Whenever I go out on mast and other tours for my own work and for congregations like this, I ask Kaikobad to put his hand on my head and bless me.
