Once when they were out driving in the car, Irwin suddenly had the urge to look at Baba.Knowing his thoughts, Baba on his own gestured that he wanted his head shielded from the sunlight coming through the back window.Someone in the car had a fan, and Baba gestured that Irwin should hold it behind his head to block the sun.To do this, he had to face Baba and he became quite absorbed in him.
As they were driving, a thought came to Irwin.It had to do with a book he had read prior to reading about Baba.The book was the Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda.In it, Yogananda mentions a Master named Shri Yukteswar Giri.Irwin suddenly asked Baba, "Was Shri Yukteswar a Perfect Master?"
“”
Baba's reply was: "Did you come all this way just to ask me this question? You could have written me and I would have answered it."
Irwin realized his mistake and said, "You are absolutely right."Baba smiled and they continued their ride.
Poona house visit, June 1960 ?, Merwan Dubash, Irwin Luck, G.S.N. Moorty, Eruch, Francis
The next morning, when everyone had gathered around Baba, he asked if anyone had any questions.Irwin's question about Yukteswar came back to him, but he dismissed it as unimportant.Everyone was quiet.Baba repeated that if anyone had any questions, now was the time to ask.Irwin had the distinct feeling that Baba wanted him to ask something, but he could not think what question to ask.Again no one said anything.
Then, Baba looked directly at Irwin and asked if he had a question.Irwin Luck recalled: "There was what I thought was a long pause on my part as my mind was working at high speed.If I had only one question to ask it should be the one that answers all others.But what is that question?"
Baba was patiently waiting for his reply.
“”
Irwin then recalled that he had read that Baba once stated: "The one who asks for his love will be the chosen one."
He looked at Baba and said, "Baba, can I have all your love?"
“”
Baba asked the mandali, "Do you experience all my love?"
