On the 13th, a young man named Jaswant Rai of Punjab arrived unexpectedly at Khushru Quarters and met Adi. Jaswant had sold all his possessions and come with the idea of dedicating his life to Baba's cause. Adi explained that Baba wanted his followers to fulfill all their worldly responsibilities while at the same time loving and obeying him. The young man seemed deeply depressed and spoke of suicide. Adi took pity on him and took him to Meherazad, where Baba permitted him darshan. Lovingly, Baba instructed him to return home and remember him wholeheartedly.
“”"I am there with you always," he assured him.
Later that afternoon, however, Adi received this note from Baba: "You should not under any circumstances send any visitor to Meherazad for Baba's darshan."
Meanwhile in America, Irwin and Edward Luck, of Miami, wrote regularly to Baba and kept him informed of their activities.
“”On 6 January 1965, in reply to one of their queries, Baba had Eruch write: "Baba says that he alone is the Beloved; and he being the true Beloved is already with you, his lover. He wants you to be a true lover to feel the Beloved's presence near you. He who is the true lover will always want to please his Beloved under any circumstances — trying circumstances or otherwise ..."
On 30 January, in reply to one of their queries, Baba had Eruch write: "Whether one loves Baba or not is absolutely immaterial; what really matters is his love for the lover ..."
In the same letter to the Luck brothers, Eruch added: "Baba wants you to remain happy and composed in his love and this will help you the most ..."
Pukar arrived at Meherazad on 11 January for a four-day stay. On the 13th, Baba gave him this message for the opening of his Mauni-vani (Silent Speech) Press in Hamirpur:
“”All words have arisen from the silent Word of God — and when truthfully uttered spread around the world carrying my message of Love and Truth. I give my blessing for the fulfillment of the purpose of Mauni-vani Press.
On 14 January, Baba sent this message for the Andhra Pradesh Sports Council's third annual track and field competition:
“”When an excellent performance by one's opponents is appreciated equally by one's own side, sports not only makes for physical fitness and mental alertness, but becomes a spiritual and enriching experience. When this fitness, alertness and enrichment is carried into one's daily work and associations, one can play the game of life in the manner of a true sportsman.
