Phil Cowan's problems with women continued and he felt confused as to whether or not he should marry.
He wrote Baba about this, and in July 1964, Baba through Adi replied: "Marriage does not interfere with man's loving God. Whether you get married or stay single is of little importance. What is important is that you love and obey me. Love-Blessings. Baba in seclusion."
In another letter through Adi, Baba advised Phil: "The girl of your choice should accept Baba at least; otherwise, you would be diverted from the goal of life!"
In August 1964, Baba through Adi sent Phil this message: "Baba wants you to know that it makes no difference to him if one loves and obeys him or not; what makes a difference is that he, Baba, is the Lover of Mankind and the Creation, and that makes the difference."
M. N. Mirza, his wife and son saw Baba on 1 August 1964 for about fifteen minutes. Anna Saheb Gune and his wife were permitted darshan the following morning. Gune was the son of G. S. Gune, a prominent ayurvedic doctor. Baba reminded Gune that he had done the opening ceremony of Gune's father's Ayurvedic Hospital in 1938, which Anna Saheb had attended. Sarosh and Viloo met Baba at 2:00 P.M. on the 11th, and Padri came to Meherazad the same day for work.
On 13 August 1964, Adi brought Anand B. Shinde from Poona. Shinde was the proprietor of the Pradeep Surgical Co., a manufacturer of orthopedic appliances, and he took Baba's measurements to make a new cervical collar for him. He returned with a prototype on Sunday, the 16th, which Baba tried on and was satisfied with. Shinde brought the finished collar the following Sunday.
Don met Baba on 14 August and they discussed Don's possible trip to England to see his brother, who was dying of cancer. Kishore Mistry was permitted to come to Meherazad at 2:00 P.M. on the 15th; he brought bhujias and jalebis for Baba and the mandali in honor of his recent marriage.
On 5 August, Ivy Duce wrote to Mani, saying she would like to include a glossary of Sufi and Vedantic mystic terms in the second edition of God Speaks . Mani wrote back on 20 August that it was a good idea and Baba had approved of it. Lud Dimpfl then started work on the glossary.
Adi, Sarosh and Viloo saw Baba at 2:00 P.M. on the 20th to discuss Sarosh's business difficulties, and how to resolve them.
Sophie Kelly, the principal of the Hill Grange High School, a prestigious prep school in Bombay, read God Speaks and felt that she must meet Meher Baba. She and her family first went to Guruprasad, and were informed of Baba's current address. Baba made a rare exception and allowed her and her family to meet him at Meherazad. Accompanying Principal Kelly were her daughter, brother and nephew. Baba remarked that the daughter, who was quite fair and beautiful, reminded him of Lud Dimpfl's daughter, Three-B.
After meeting Baba, the Kellys stayed at Meherazad for two hours longer, talking with Eruch and Francis. Sophie Kelly, who was Jewish, told Eruch, "I have read many metaphysical books, but God Speaks outshone them all. It is the only book with authority, which reveals step by step the complete formula of creation and its purpose. It is perfect."
