well!" I tried hard later to recall what I had said to him and could not remember a thing! It just came I suppose. This happened more than once!

Of course not all all reactions were positive, at least not outwardly. From Louis Agostini's diary comes the following: A man with dark shades that entirely hid his eyes stopped at the panel which included pictures taken during Baba's youth and early manhood. His intent examination soon erupted into a loud remark, "Who is this man?" "Why don't you come over and help yourself to a copy of His message?" I answered. As I handed him the pamphlet I mentioned that Baba was a great spiritual leader in India; apparently the word "great" upset him. "What do you mean great?” he countered. I suggested that he acquaint himself with some of the books about Baba and decide for himself. "Look," he said, "I don't want to read any books. . . I want you to tell me why you say he is great." "If I gave you my own reasons why I consider him great it might not make sense to you, for it is derived from my own experience," I replied. "Jesus was great . . . and so was Einstein . . ." he shouted. "Now I want you to tell me why this man is great!"

Realizing that a crowd was growing, and that our meeting was turning into a personal encounter, I decided to give the whole thing to Baba mentally. The answer came clear enough, perhaps in time to avert an outright show of belligerence: I said to him: "Because of the stress that He has placed in all of His teachings on the Love that arises from an understanding of the Oneness of all Existence." It must have soothed him internally, but he fought against it outwardly. "Don't tell me about that . . . all the others have said it . . . Furthermore," he continued, "he is too young to know anything about Love!" Saying this he disappeared around the corner. But he still had the folder in his hand.

A professor at one of our best-known universities, with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, recently wrote to the Center at Myrtle Beach: "After some very profound experiences with higher levels of consciousness and glimpses of the Infinite, I saw some films of Meher Baba, and also the folder. This prompted me to read some of his writings. I was profoundly moved and realized this to be the best model of the Universe and man's higher goals I had come across.

"I am extremely interested in purchasing his writings and those about him by his disciples and biographers. I understand that you have a brochure which lists these publications and where they can be obtained . . . I would be extremely interested to meet other Baba followers."
