The mast had a small stick that he suddenly thrust into Baidul's eye. Baidul immediately let go of the mast, and to his horror found blood gushing from his eye. He thought he had lost his sight, but slowly recovered and regained his full vision. Baba explained to him that one should never force a mast to do anything against his wish.
On another occasion, when Baba was in America in 1956, Baidul related that he went to contact a mast according to Baba's instructions, and to his amazement the mast asked, "Has Meher Baba returned from America?"
Cowas was not feeling well.
Baba sent Goher to see him with this message: "Take care of your health. It is for my work that you must keep well."
Baba seemed in a mood to give discourses on Sunday, 18 October 1959. Hoshang asked about the difference between seeing God physically and seeing God on the sixth plane.
Baba explained, but ended by stating: "To see God is not the final aim. The aim is to be One with Him."
Baba called Kaikobad and asked him to narrate his visions and experiences. Kaikobad said: "First, I saw God, and when I compared it to Baba, Baba did not look like Him. Then I saw the Father of all Fathers — Ahuramazda — and Baba simultaneously. I became convinced that Baba is God. Thereafter, I started seeing Baba in an aura of light. To see Baba in a beam of light comes from within me, and I can do it at any time."
Baba explained that Kaikobad was an example of one who sees God physically. Baba then began speaking about Noor — Divine Effulgence:
The Noor of God is infinite. It is different from your electric power. All types of powers like electric, atomic, heat, light, et cetera, are only small branches of God's Noor. Noor is not light; it is far more than that. To explain it, we will use a simile. If ten million suns are put together, the coolness of these would only be a fraction of the coolness of Noor. From Noor the sun, stars, moons, planets derive their light. Noor is infinite; it cannot be divided. And so suns, stars, moons, planets, et cetera, must be contained in it.
It is difficult to explain this since you have had no experience of it. For example, suppose Cowas has had wine, and you [Hoshang] have not. However much he may explain what intoxication is, you will not be able to grasp it; [in other words] without experience you cannot know what intoxication is.
