Jane said, "It's my fault; please forgive me. I wasn't clear about it."
Baba's arm shot out and he grasped her like steel, telling her to sit down.
“”
"Elizabeth, where is the book Jane likes so much?"
"At Youpon Dunes."
“”
"Go and fetch it. Jane will read to Baba."
Jane was given fifteen minutes to freshen up, and left the cabin while Elizabeth drove to her home to bring the book.When she returned, both reentered the Lagoon Cabin.Jane sat in front of Baba and began reading.In the middle, Baba's fingers began moving rapidly.Not knowing of Baba's Universal work, Jane surmised that perhaps she was not reading well.The moment this thought came, Baba's fingers ceased their activity.Jane recalled: "Just like Gibran's description — 'As still as the statues in Antioch' — Baba's eyes never left my face."
When she had finished, Baba was silent for quite a while.
“”
"Now come," he remarked, and Baba embraced her tightly, and she knelt before him.
Looking at her, he revealed, "The way you have done this, given this to Baba, touches my heart very much.For you see, I was Jesus, I was Jesus Christ.Now let's go."
He then took her in one arm and Elizabeth in the other and they walked outside.
Baba sat outside to listen to a tape of Harold Rudd's recitation of the poem "Light of Asia" (by Edwin Arnold) about the life of Buddha.His mood was serious as he listened, and his fingers worked at intervals.
“”
When it ended, Baba asked for silence and commented, "This tape has come from heaven."
Jane began thinking about Baba's imminent departure, and felt sad about "losing" Baba after having just found him.
“”
After the tape recitation, Baba called Jane into the Lagoon Cabin, where he emphasized to her, "Do not be nervous or afraid, for I will be with you always."As she turned to go, Baba added, "physically," and he had Adi repeat what he had said.
When Baba returned to India, he sent this telegram to Jane: "Reborn in my love, you are blessed. Love me more and more."
Jane had always felt that she would die before the age of 33, and in a sense, she had — but to be "reborn" in the Avatar's fold!
