The interview came to an end, and again Henry waited in the hotel corridor. When Kecha arrived and found that Henry had gone in to see Baba without waiting for her, she silently fumed. Henry, in turn, found it infuriating that she could not understand why anyone would wait for any reason to see someone who was God on Earth!
Baba sent for them, and they went in together.
When he saw them he put his hands on both sides of his head and shook it, gesturing, "My God!"
Although they had not uttered an angry word to each other, Baba dissolved their inner hostilities! Kecha went down and sat in front of him. Baba reached up, pulled off her earring and rolled it up in her hand. He began to feed her grapes. From that day on, the couple became his devoted lovers.
Baba had written to Henry, "Your connection with me is of long duration. You are one of the fortunate ones."
At last, Henry realized what Baba meant.
When Liz Sacalis, 26, went in, she remembered:
The room seemed dark except for light at the end where Baba was. I kept looking around for a spotlight. At the same time, very significant thoughts about my own life were going through my head, like just before you drown. As I got to Baba, I realized that the light was coming out of him, from inside. His cheek was like the texture of persimmon, very soft and silky.
Liz had always learned everything from reading books. If she wanted to fix a car she would read a book; if she wanted to do anything — she would read up on the subject.
The first thing Baba said to her was: "Have you read any of my books?" She answered that she had, and Baba continued: "Keep reading my books and you will know eternal bliss and joy."
He gave her a grape and out she went.
Liz recalled:
At that point I realized that I had been looking in my search for spiritual things as an escape from life. The Master is not going to just touch me and I am going to have God-realization and escape the whole thing. In that instant, just in that one-minute meeting with Baba, I knew that I had to live my life and go through it. And as I went around to the mezzanine floor, I looked back into the room and I could see Baba at the other end. I realized that even though I had to live my life, I had to follow him.
