Beloved Avatar Meher Ki Jai Baba!

Bhau was in FF (“Full Force”) form last week, and Baba willing, he
will be even more FF on Sunday. Below is an excerpt from the
beginning of the chat and a note about another of Bhau’s forthcoming
books.

*****

My dearest dear ones of Beloved Avatar Meher Baba, the first thing, I
must do is to bow down to your feet with all love. I am watching all
over the world and find that people – or I should say, Baba lovers -
are amazing! They just know and feel, and they follow Meher Baba.
But I know that Meher Baba is also in those who don’t follow Him. He
is in everyone, so whether you accept Him or reject Him, it is His
duty, His responsibility, so He has to look after everyone.

The same One was Abraham. Afterwards, He came as Zoroaster, then Ram,
Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and now, Meher Baba. Every time He
comes, His face is different, His language is different, and whatever
He says is different because every time He comes, the situation of the
world is different. Whatever situation was there at the time of
Zoroaster was not the same at the time of Rama, and His work is
according to the situation and differs in every age.

Nobody knows He is one and the same One, so then people create
differences. “Our religion is best, that religion is very bad.”

In Illusion there are time and space, and it takes a very, very long
time to know that I AM. Actually, in Truth, there is no time, and
there is no space.

[Some lost text here.]

Everything happens in the present; there is no past and no future.

Here is Dr. Donkin Jr. (Bob). He knows that everything happens in the
present. Look at him! Just see how his hand is up! Now he is
standing. “No past, no future, only present.”

He reads only THE WAYFARERS. “There is no need to read anything
else,” he says. “These masts and saliks are in the mental world. I
must read about them. Such a book has never come out in any age.”

This time, it was Dr. Donkin, who was from the West, from England, who
wrote about masts.

He came to Baba, Who was in Bangalore at the time. Baba was going
here and there, collecting masts and working with them. Dr. Donkin
was observing. One day, his interest increased so much that he
thought, “Baba works day and night, continuously, but nothing is
written about His work.”

“Baba, You have contacted so many masts,” Dr. Donkin said, “and You go
on contacting them. But there is no record of Your contacts. People
will not know about them.”

Immediately Baba said, “Then you keep the record!”

“Baba, I don’t know about this,” Donkin protested.

“Then why did you ask?” Baba said. “You have to do this work.”

Poor Dr. Donkin was in difficulty. So he asked those who had gone
with Baba – Baidul, Kaka and Eruch – wherefrom they brought these
masts. Then he wrote the book, THE WAYFARERS.

****

Note: Dr. Donkin wrote two Supplements to the WAYFARERS, and later,
Bhau wrote a Third Supplement about Baba’s later contact with masts.
FF Mummy (Lynne) has copyedited the book, and it is now being prepared
for publication in the near future.

FOR USERS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH MACS, WHO DON’T HAVE WINDOWS MEDIA

Another alternative, suggested by Eric Romesberg, is VLC Media Player,
downloadable at:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

According to Eric, “VLC supports Windows, Mac OS-X and Linux. I was
able to watch and simultaneously record the video+audio or watch the
video+audio while recording only the audio (to reduce the file size)”
