These days student riots are common all over colleges. Similarly, my name is causing a riot of love among students. Many workers experience that even before they knock at the door, the door opens to my love. Workers in the West themselves arrange appearances on the radio and television and other programs to speak about me.
Explaining about the darshan to be given in April 1969, Baba said:
Once I start the darshan program, I will be responsible for giving darshan each day for two hours in the morning to the Westerners and two hours in the afternoon to the Easterners, even if it takes me two months. Regarding arrangements for the darshan, I leave it entirely to you, the workers, but there should be mutual coordination between different Baba Centers regarding those coming for darshan.
The Westerners invited me to America, but I refused the invitation. Meher Baba Leagues have been started on college campuses [in California] and they, too, are telling the public that Baba is God. Hence, quite a good number of lovers will be coming from the West for the darshan.
Turning suddenly to Keshav Nigam, who was seated on one side of the room in a chair, Baba stated, "Keshav has worked much for me and now suffers from Parkinson's disease in the right hand. It is incurable."
But Baba assured him, "Medical treatment has failed to give you relief, but one day my grace will rid you of the disease."
Baba spread out his hands towards those seated before him and said, "I will make his hands healthy again, like my hands."
Baba continued:
In the 1962 and 1965 sahavas meetings, large awnings were constructed. The Poona Center had to ask for financial aid from other Centers. It will not be possible to house all lovers under awnings during the coming darshan program in April. I am not going to ask lovers to donate for the program. You will have to arrange everything yourselves.
Addressing Dr. Bharucha, Baba remarked, "It is a great strain for me to keep the link with my physical body. Goher has told me that to hammer my thighs is not good for my already injured leg, but that was the only recourse. Now my work and seclusion are over, but it will take some time to completely recover. Sometimes my legs get tremors [cramps], but in time this will go away. But do not forget that I am God."
Baba mentioned Bill Le Page of Australia, who was quite busy giving talks on radio and television.
"In short, there will be a terrible rush. I will have to give darshan for one or two months."
He added, "Today I will not embrace anyone, for all who are here have come for this important meeting and not for my darshan. Although it is Meherjee's birthday today, I will not even embrace him. During the past eighteen months, no one was called to see me, even at Guruprasad."
