Shireen acted accordingly and removed her shoes, but during her visit she indirectly brought up the subject by saying, "Baba, you are God."
Baba smiled and gestured, "Yes, I am God, and God is everywhere and in everyone," and he pointed to each of the mandali sitting before him.
Shireen turned to whisper something to one of the men sitting near her, but Baba motioned her to speak freely. She said, "I just had a thought, Baba. If God is everywhere and in everyone, then [pointing at Baba] who is that sitting in the chair?"
Baba replied, "God in human form. God is everywhere indeed, but can you see Him in everything? Can you feel Him in everyone you meet? You certainly do not. So I — God — have assumed this form of man to tell you and awaken you all to the fact that God is everywhere and in everyone and in everything. I am the God-Man."
Shireen's navjot ceremony was to be performed in the Parsi fire-temple in Ahmednagar on Thursday evening, 7 January 1965, which Baba indicated should be done according to the wishes of Franey's parents (Sarosh's brother Dinshaw and his wife Soonamai). That morning, Adi Jr., Franey, Dara, Shireen, Soonamai and Sarosh drove to Meherazad to see Baba first. Baba blessed the sadra and kusti and placed it on his niece with his own hands. Kaikobad was told to recite a short prayer.
A week or so before the navjot ceremony (for which Shireen had to learn many Zoroastrian prayers), Baba asked her to learn the Master's Prayer and recite it to him. She did as instructed and recited the prayer before Baba on the morning of her navjot. Shireen did not make any mistakes and she considered that was her real navjot. Ironically, she made many mistakes when reciting the Zoroastrian prayers later that day at the temple.
After reciting the prayer, Shireen was permitted to take Baba's darshan. Afterwards, this exchange between her and Baba took place: "Baba, I know we are born again and again, but you are God; so how is it that you get born?" she asked.
Baba replied, "Once in a while, God takes birth because of His love for His creation. I am born in human form so that you may see me as you are, and if you are fortunate to know me and love me, then some day you will see me as I really am."
