order the magazine should have. Said Baba, "When the magazine is started it must not stop and it must be very good. Garrett and Malcolm are to work on it together. I want it to run for five years."

The plan did not materialize immediately because our stay in Nasik lasted only seven months, when Baba took us all to Europe. However, in 1938, when we were back in India on Meherabad Hill, the plan was revived. Then the editors laid down one condition, that Baba should contribute a Discourse every month, and Baba agreed. The title given to the magazine was “The Meher Baba Journal." The magazine lasted for a period of five years, 1938-1942. The editing of the last few months' issues was entrusted to Adi K. Irani, when its original editors, Elizabeth and Norina, returned to New York in 1941 by Baba's orders. Nonny Gayley, the third editor, had passed on a year earlier during our stay with Baba in Bangalore. The Discourses of Baba were collected into the present five volumes which are so much in demand all over the world. Today a new edition, edited by Charles Purdom in accordance with Baba's wishes, is already in the publisher's hands in London.

Those of us not engaged in literary, secretarial or other work in Nasik were kept busy executing plans in connection with some future film work Baba had in mind. A significant fact about the dances connected with this work was that when Baba saw them from week to week, he in a flash would not only point out the errors in their execution, but explain how some were to be put right. As Margaret Craske remarked, "Only an artist perfect in his art would know; which thus showed Baba's perfection in all things."

Symbolic drawings, afterwards incorporated in one large painting, were executed during this period by Rano Gayley under Baba's instructions; this painting now hangs in one of the rooms in the main building in upper Meherabad. This painting was seen and photographed for the first time during the recent visit in September, 1954, of some of Baba's Western men devotees to Meherabad.

In addition to our work, Baba planned a complete daily schedule for each of us, subject, of course, to change. Changes were frequent. Baba dislikes rigidity and routine—once they have served their purpose. I remember my own timetable was as follows:

6:30 a.m.—Get up.

1 hour—Meditation (as instructed).

1 hour—Lesson in Indian language.
