also arrived from Florida and we greeted him warmly. The morning went by in the same manner as before; the majority waiting about outside Baba's interview cabin, as different ones went in and out or small groups met alone with Him. On His arrival in New York, Baba had expressly stated to Elizabeth that He did not wish the whole time in Myrtle Beach to be taken up with interviews, but wished to be in seclusion part of the time, and also to have leisure time to be with the various groups assembled there. Thus, the interviews scheduled for Saturday or Sunday had been shifted to Wednesday and Thursday.

We send this always to Him . . ."

 

"My life is changed by such a swelling of internal grace that my changing is changing close closest to me . . ."

 

"You begin to realize of what little significance time is with Baba. Five years waiting to see Him seemed so long and now if I couldn't see Him again for two years or any number of years, I think I could just go on and on and on, for now I feel something that seems very permanent.
