It is no exaggeration to say that the news about the Holy Master's arrival in Yezd spread like wildfire and the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds. On the second day of his arrival in the city hundreds of people might be said to have followed him from dawn till night. He was invited to various places, but he could not accept all the invitations. In the morning he went to the house of Arbab Sheheriar, who is on the Path and who has already made fairly good progress. His joy knew no bounds and he shared it with hundreds of people, who wanted to worship His Divine Majesty, by allowing them to enter his house. The Arbab drew up an address of welcome as hastily as he could, and in the presence of the crowd, standing near His Holiness, he read it. From the start to the finish the address contained high eulogy of the Holy Master, Whom the Arbab regards as a Prophet. Mr. K. E. Afseri made a suitable reply to the address on behalf of His Holiness.

In the afternoon, the same day, an at-home was given to Yazdan Meher Baba by Arbab Sorab. Nearly thirty guests were present. All of them were distinguished citizens of Yezd but they unhesitatingly paid their respects to the Holy Master. The Arbab delivered an eloquent lecture in which he warmly praised the philanthropic work and sainthood of his renowned Guest. Mr. Afseri made a suitable reply on behalf of His Holiness. Tea then began to be served; but while it was being served the Mahometan Inspector of Finance of the Persian Government stood up and delivered an extempore lecture in praise of His Divine Majesty: In the course of it, he said: "I am awed by the personality of Hazrat Meher Baba. Probably all of you may be feeling just what I am feeling. By merely seeing him, we know that Hazrat Meher Baba is a great Saint and Master. I believe that he will teach real religion to all of us and that he will revolutionize the world." When he finished his lecture, he refused to take tea unless his cup received the sacred touch of the Holy Master. His Holiness touched his cup and then he took it with joy written large on his face.

The Divine Lord then went into the heart of the city, where thousands of people, mostly Mahometans, had gathered together to welcome him and where, as arranged beforehand, he visited the city inn, school, etc. Afterwards he went to the bungalow of Arbab Rustam Shahajan; the host and his family became extremely glad and worshipped him with reverence but they became very sorry as he refused to take tea or partake of anything. As soon as he stepped out of the bungalow a Zoroastrian lady, named Gauher, who. was waiting for him with many other persons, fell at his feet and entreated him to grace her home by his presence.
