flowers, and several fruit trees. While Baba walked in the hot sun I held an umbrella over his head, dodging to keep it from being caught in the branches of the trees. Baba walked up to the well, which is the source of Meherazad's water supply. In the garden, Baba said, "This is a walk in the Garden of Allah, and I truly mean it." On our return from the garden, Baba gave us toffees as prasad and after the usual game of cards, retired to His house.

To our great surprise, He returned at 5 p.m. and came to our room. He enquired if we were comfortable. He then sat on a chair in front of our room and gave us each a copy of the Life Circular that Adi had just published. He then gestured, "I will give something very great to the universe. I feel very happy to give you this information, and so I decided to come at this time." Baba then gave us some instructions regarding a piece of work He wanted us to do after leaving Meherazad. He wanted us to give RS. 500. to each of two middle-class families having many children, who, in spite of trying their best, were not able to make ends meet, but would not go begging out of self-respect, and who were not farmers, as the latter get a deal of help from the government. We were instructed to bow down to the persons concerned and then give the money. Baba said, "This work is very important. You do not know the importance of it. This is the last work entrusted to you. Search a lot before giving the money. Do not worry, I will help you. The families may be of any caste. After finishing the work return home on the 31st." Baba then told Eruch to tell us stories of how He used to do this sort of work formerly, and the hardships they encountered in finding such families. Before Baba left us He said, "I do not undertake this work Myself now and so I have asked you to do it."

Eruch told us the following tales of their adventures. Once Baba had ordered Eruch to find one such man in the village of Bhor. With great difficulty he did find one man but when he offered to give the money, the latter would not take it, thinking that Eruch was a spy or a crook or that he was trying to get him into trouble. With great difficulty he pacified him and finally managed to give him the money.

Another extremely wealthy man, due to certain bad circumstances, had lost all his money. He naturally could not beg. He had no money to get his two daughters married. Eruch said that when Baba and he entered the house they found the girls dressed in tattered clothes. Baba ultimately appeased the man and gave him the money. He was so impressed that he fainted. The daughters thought that the newcomers had done some harm
