Even under the effect of a pain-killer given to him, we could see him saying "Baba" unconsciously when his leg was disturbed. He stayed in hospital overnight and was brought to Baba the next morning.

 

Since lovers from many Centers had not yet had darshan, Baba came on the dais at 3:40 P.M. when lovers from Delhi, Jabalpur Bilaspur, Raipur, Sholapur, Gotegaon and others, availed themselves of the chance.

 

One very touching incident occurred when a child of about six accompanied his mother for darshan. While the mother was bowing down on Baba's feet, the youngster at her side shouted, "Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai." After giving darshan for an hour, Baba left the dais amidst loud cheers.

 

5th May

 

Baba came into the side room by 7:10 A.M. The volunteer who had sustained a fracture was brought straight from hospital on a stretcher for Baba's darshan. The stretcher was placed at Baba 's feet. Baba said to him. "Don't worry, all will be well." The lover with tears in his eyes tried to take Baba’s darshan but could not move due to the pain in his right leg. Baba lifted his own right foot which the lover on the stretcher kissed. Coincidentally, the fractured femur was the right one, as is Baba's fractured right hip. Had this lover been lucky in sharing an infinitesimal fraction of the Universal suffering of his Beloved?

 

Just then the minister, Mr. M. R. Appa Rao, entered with his wife. Baba said, "I am happy with your work for me. My grace (nazar) will always be on you. I want you both to love me more and more. I am God in human form:" Baba embraced both of them before they left the room.

 

An army general and his wife came to see Baba for the first time. He had heard and read a little about Baba but he could never accept the fact that Baba is God in human form. After the general had sat down and was introduced to Baba by one lover, Baba said to him, ''What harm is there if you cannot accept the concept of God in human form as long as you are 100% honest and follow the three precepts of Zoroaster, namely: good thoughts, good words, and good deeds?" The general's face brightened up and he said that he was 100% honest and followed the three precepts of Zoroaster. Baba continued, "If you were to read God Speaks, you would get an idea of how infinity can be bottled up in human form. You will also know that for God who is infinitely powerful, it is possible to do anything. Do not worry. Read God Speaks and you will understand that nothing exists but God. You are also God, but you are under the hallucination that you are a human being." The general, without hesitation, replied, "Yes, we are all God!"
