My dear Amiya,

Your very loving PC to Beloved Baba was received and read to Baba. He felt happy to hear that you feel better.

Shri Natarajan's letter was replied from here. Hope he received the reply.

Beloved sends His love to you.

Hope to see you during the One week of Sahavas ¹ that is assigned to you.

Baba wants you to be in Meherabad for only one week of Sahavas and by now you must have got in hand the necessary "Admittance Form".

Please note that henceforth all correspondence is stopped till after the Sahavas. The time is now too short and the work is too much. Hence the restriction on correspondence.

Eruch

Amiya comments:

1. Baba came to know that I was neglecting my job. His omniscience. I was not even attending classes. I simply wept, slept with Baba's photo [clutches document to his breast to show how he held onto the photo]. So Baba knew I was neglecting and He cut short my period.

Would you believe, when I got there, right in front of me was the Deputy Secretary for Education of the Collegiate Branch, the man who could have terminated my job, also. He was just in front of me. I was shocked to see him. Baba looked at me and winked. He too was a devotee, and was eventually on the translation board of the Discourses of Meher Baba.

So I never knew that he was a devotee. I thought, "My God, if he looks at me, he will ask me how come I am here." You have to understand he was the big boss over all the collegiate professors. I was just a lecturer. I let him pass, hoping he wouldn't see me.

Baba winked at me, [and I understood his meaning] -- "See, your boss is here, you could have been caught. I being God have allowed you to come." All the time He is looking at me as a mischievous child, and I am thinking nothing can stop me from coming to see my Father.
