Eight lovers had come from Iran. They had decided to come to India at the eleventh hour and it was just miraculous how they got passports in such a short time. They had travelled eleven days before they came to Poona. The troubles they had undergone during their eleven-day journey were harrowing. To cap this suffering, the oldest woman had a fall in Bombay on her arrival, and injured her ribs. It seems that for three days she came for Baba's darshan daily without complaining of the severe pain or taking any treatment. On the fourth day when she was seen by a doctor, it was found that she had a broken rib and an extensive contusion. Her love for Baba had made her come to Guruprasad daily in spite of her pain.

Ali Akbar, one of the mandali, introducing the Irani group to Baba, said, that one of the men owned a taxi and he had the daring to stick photo of Baba on the windshield of the taxi in a country where the majority are Muslims, who believe that there can be no Prophet after Mohammed. It seems one day. when he was ill, he asked his friend to drive his taxi, but the friend refused saying that he still wanted to live!

These Irani lovers had brought a lot of dry fruits which they placed with love at the feet of Baba. One woman brought an offering of money from another and explained who it was from: "Just before we left, this woman was in very complicated and difficult labor and the doctors were preparing to perform a Caesarian to save her life. She kept repeatedly calling out 'Baba, Baba'! All of a sudden, to the amazement of all concerned, she safely delivered twins without any surgical aid. She has asked me to place this love offering at your feet" Baba told her to return the money to the woman who had sent it, along with his love, and to tell her to feed the poor in Iran with it.

One of the Irani women while taking darshan wept bitterly and told Baba, "I cannot bear your separation." Baba replied, "I too can 't bear my own separation."

To someone Baba said, “Only 100% honesty leads one to Baba. Never pose. Be outwardly what you are within "

One lover asked Baba, "How is the pain in your neck?" Baba replied, "Infinite. It is both physical and universal. When I break My silence, it will vanish." A lover said to Baba, "When will You break Your silence?" Baba said, "I am also eager to break My silence and then I shall be free and the world shall also be free of oppression. My observing silence for so many years is not for nothing. When I break My silence the impact will be universal. No one knows how I am suffering.
