“”"Do you have any questions?" Baba asked.
Ursula mumbled, "No." Mik said he had no questions, either.
Adi urged him to speak his mind, "This is your chance to ask Baba anything!"
Mik said to Baba, "Perhaps we cannot love you the way you ought to be loved, but we can promise to obey you 100 percent."
Baba made no reply.
“”Instead, he inquired, "How are you going to go to the United States?"
They told him their travel plans to hitchhike to Germany and fly from there to America.
“”Baba advised, "Go to America and dissuade young people from taking drugs. Encourage, persuade them to stop taking drugs! To do that is the highest spiritual work to be done in the world today."
Baba asked if they had attended the birthday celebrations in Delhi, which they had.
“”After a few more questions, he said, "I love you both more than you can ever love yourself. I will help you — inwardly. Take the love I have given you and give it to others as freely as I have given it to you. Come embrace me, kiss me and go."
Mik approached Baba, received his embrace and kissed him, and Ursula did the same. Baba kissed her on both cheeks and instructed that they have lunch with Adi and leave that day. They were not to delay, but to leave for America right away.
Ursula's thoughts after kissing Baba were: "I remember his smell. It was not flowers or perfume, he smelled like a baby. A clean smell, like an innocent newborn baby."
As they were having lunch at Khushru Quarters with Adi, a message came from Baba asking if they needed any money. If they did, Adi was to give it to them. They did not take any, stating that they had sufficient money for their return.
They left Ahmednagar that afternoon at 1:50 P.M. for Manmad. The couple then traveled overland to Germany and from there by plane to America. Mik and Ursula stayed first in New York City and then traveled to California, where they met Robert Dreyfuss, Rick Chapman, Allan Cohen, Paula Gordon and others, and like them helped to spread Baba's message to college students and "hippies" and "acid heads" (LSD users) warning them against taking drugs of any kind.
Don shifted from Meherabad to Khushru Quarters on 8 March 1966. Mansari visited Meherazad on the 10th. Nariman arrived for a few days' stay on the 19th. Two days later, on Jamshed Navroz (Irani New Year), Baba permitted Nariman to pay for Chhagan to prepare a New Year's feast for Baba, the Meherazad and Meherabad mandali. Kutumba Sastri and his son Bhasker were permitted to meet Baba that morning for half an hour.
