each one's heart. Mehera burst into a flood of tears and so did most of us. Baba very lovingly pulled out His handkerchief and wiped her tears.

 

The love and gentleness behind Baba's actions brought a greater flood of tears to all of us. Would we ever be worthy of that much love from the Beloved? Could we sustain that much love if poured into us or would we explode? Again and again Baba wiped her tears as they coursed down her cheeks and when the song finished, Mehera pulled herself up again. Baba tenderly kissed the handkerchief and gave it to Mehera. I bet even the masts whom Baba loves so much could not have had such affection from Baba. Mehera is truly the Beloved of the Beloved. For her Baba is her life breath. For her there is no one in this world but Baba. For her there is no path, Baba is her path. For her there is no goal, Baba is her goal. For her Baba is everything and everything is Baba.

 

Baba then asked Viloo, wife of Sarosh Irani of 'Nagar, to tell us her experiences during her recent trip to Nauranga—Meher Dham. Baba lovers from Hamirpur district get together to celebrate the anniversary of Meher Dham every year on November 25th. They had written to Baba to send someone from 'Nagar as His representative for the occasion. Baba chose Viloo and asked her to go to Nauranga. When Sarosh learned about this, he even decided to go with her. Baba explained to Viloo that there would be many harrowing experiences on this trip entailing many discomforts as regards housing, food, and other daily necessities. This did not deter Viloo and she and Sarosh decided they would go.

 

Just before Sarosh and Viloo left for Nauranga, they came to see Baba at Meherazad. She had been brought up with "a silver spoon in her mouth" and was once again warned by Baba not to pay heed to the poverty, uncleanliness, illiteracy, and manners of the people in Nauranga but to see only the richness of their love for Baba. She was not to expect to find a grand panoply of overdressed dandies and their underdressed ladies at Nauranga! Baba embraced both of them and said that this embrace of His would reach thousands through them. Little did Viloo or Sarosh realize the depth of these words. He also instructed them to leave directly for Nauranga.

 

They drove off on this transcontinental journey. The climate was wonderful and they had very good accommodations in rest houses en route. The countryside was splashed with beauty. Endless panoramas of greenery rippled away in all directions. Brilliant flowers bloomed in the fields.
