"This place [Meherabad] will be a place of pilgrimage. This opportunity you are having is a unique, and very rare one. Baba's embrace is the embrace of God to man. This is the relationship that is created here in sahavas. Each one is approaching God. This is a unique occasion. You will not get it again. Meherabad will be a place of pilgrimage and thousands will flock here in later years. They will remember this day which you all are fortunate to witness. Concentrate on me and live for me during these five days, forgetting everything else."
Pointing to Rusi Pop, Goher's father, Baba commented, "I stayed in his house in Quetta years ago."
About Rustom Kaka, "He is not only a good singer, but also a good lover of mine."
About Raosaheb Afseri, Baba remarked, "He is an old, old friend of mine in a new disguise. He loves me intensely."
Then he explained at length:
Very rarely can one see me as I really am. You see everything except me. Whatever others see and experience is not what I really am; it is just a curtain surrounding my Reality. But even to see this curtain takes luck. Even the highest type of inner experience falls short of my Real State.
There is a mast who has been at Meherazad for the last two days. I picked him up on my way to the sahavas camp during the first week and have kept him in a room. He has no body consciousness at all. When I and my close mandali return to Meherazad in the evening, we see this mast in the same position and condition as we left him in the morning. The whole night he remains like that. He appears dazed and has become the dust at my feet. He is my beloved child, but even he has not realized my Real State. It is no joke; there is no sweet pill to swallow to realize God! There are some among you here [from the first group] who must have seen this mast. He cannot be called a mad person, but he looks like it. He also appears childlike. His mind does not function at all voluntarily. It is not a blank mind. He cannot be called an idiot either. He is different from a madman.
