stopped one day, looked at the books and said: "I am now reading Ramakrishna's life, and the Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda. Tell me how they differ from your Master, Meher Baba?" The answer was, that Ramakrishna was a Sadguru (Perfect Master), whereas Meher Baba was the Avatar, the One awaited by all religions to manifest again on earth for the salvation of mankind.

He went on to say that he was searching for the Truth; that now he would visit Myrtle Beach and not California as he had planned. He showed great understanding; took many pamphlets, and then said: "Think of It, I came to the Pavilion looking for furniture, and see what I have found!"

Being the Creator of everything, everything on every plane is equidistant from Him. Thus we felt that the Meher Baba booth, situated in an inconspicuous corner amidst the grandeur of the World's Fair, was the focal point from which radiated God's Universal Message and Love.

The privilege afforded the volunteer-workers and those who made the space possible was indeed great. It makes one remember Baba's earlier message:
