This book represents an event unprecedented inmankind’s recorded history: the God-Man writ-ing about God in His own hand.

Sometime around 1925, Meher Baba wroteout, in pencil on inexpensive notebook paper,thirty-nine pages of explanations on spirituality.Recently come to light, these handwritten pagesrecord basic truths about God and illusion, Lightand darkness, the dream of creation and theawakening to Self — themes at the heart of allof Baba’s spiritual explanations in later works.Here is a vivid picture of Meher Baba’s dynamicpersonality in his early years: his quicksilverenergy and vitality, his fluid changes of moodand style, his astonishing creativity. The manu-script is all the more precious because, after1927, Meher Baba stopped writing altogether,except for signing His name.

In this edition, prepared by the AvatarMeher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust,the manuscript pages have been presented infacsimile, in full color and actual size, recreatingthe remarkable beauty of the originals. Forthose who would like to study the content ofBaba’s explanations more closely, the facsimileis followed by a supplement containing a print-ed text of each page, translations of non-Englishwords, footnotes and textual aids.

This is a book to cherish, to read over andover again, and to pass on to future generations.

Biographies

MEHER BABA. . . (1894-1969)Merwan Sheriar Irani known as MeherBaba, was born in Pune, India, on February25, 1894, of Persian parents. In 1913 whilestill in college, a momentous event occurredin Baba’s life . . . the meeting with HazratBabajan, an ancient Mohammedan womanand one of the five Perfect Masters of the Age.Babajan gave him God-Realization and madehim aware of his high spiritual destiny.

His spiritual mission began in 1921 whenhe drew together his first close disciples. It wasthese early disciples who gave him the nameMeher Baba, which means “CompassionateFather.”

After years of intensive training of his disciples,Meher Baba established a colony near Ahmed-nagar (India) that is called Meherabad. Here theMaster’s work embraced a free school where spiritual training was stressed, a free hospital and dispensary, and shelters for the poor. No distinctionwas made between the high castes and untouch-ables; all mingled in common fellowship through theinspiration of the Master.

Meher Baba told his disciples that from July 10,1925 he would observe silence. Since that day hemaintained silence until his death in 1969. His manyspiritual discourses and messages were dictated bymeans of an alphabet board. In 1954, the Masterdiscontinued the use of the board and reduced allcommunication to hand gestures unique in expres-siveness and understandable to many.

An important part of Meher Baba’s workthrough the years has been to personally contactand to serve hundreds of those known in India as“masts.” These are advanced pilgrims on the spiritual path who have become spiritually intoxicated from direct awareness of God.

Meher Baba asserts that he is the same AncientOne, come again to redeem man from his bondageof ignorance and to guide him to realize his trueSelf which is God. Meher Baba is acknowledged byhis many followers all over the world as the Avatarof the Age.

“You asked where I was when I first met Baba. It

was at the Railway Station (in London) and I just

shook hands and said “How do you do.” I didn’t

expect ever to see him again . . .”

Later in her parents home, Kitty continues:

“Baba asked each of us to come alone for a few

moments, to come and talk with him. And I

noticed a little tear in his sadra (shirt). He was

dressed in a white sadra and he knew — I sup-

pose I didn’t mean him to know I was thinking

such a thing — of course I was seeing him for the

for the first few moments — but, I did see there

was a tear in his white sadra. And he got the

thought very quickly because he immediately got

Meredith Starr who was interpreting for him, to

say that I was to go and get a piece of cotton and

mend the tear. And then afterwards he said that

this was the beginning of further service you’ll

have to do for me. And I remember that very

clearly. That was my first encounter with Baba.”

He said, “Does he want to come to me?” I ran up to

Pop and said, “Baba says, do you want to come to him?”

He said, “Oh yes, my word I do.” He got up on his crutch-

es and made a step towards Baba, but before he could go any further, Meher Baba was

there on the patio. Pop said, “Salam Alekum.” Baba through Eruch said, “Alekum Salam.”

Then Baba embraced him. The thought occurred to me, “If you take one step towards

Over The Years With Meher Baba by Bill Le Page144 pp., Paperback$12.00.

This is a wonderful and varied collectionof Baba stories, many based on roughnotes Bill Le Page made in India over thepast twenty years. The reader can openthis volume at random and be assured ofcoming up with a gem of a tale.

Try the story about Baba respondingpersonally to Gaimai Jessawala’s need forhelp in the middle of the night, a touchingexample of the Avatar personally servinghis lovers. Or the young Eruch’s experi-ence of arranging his family’s going toMeher Baba. Or any of the other delight-ful stories Bill heard from Eruch inthe1970s. Become absorbed in the lettershe received from Baba’s sister, Mani, andFrancis Brabazon in the 1950s and1960s, or Chanji’s accounts of the BlueBus tours, and – just because he remindsBill of Meher Baba – a few stories aboutProphet Mohammad. As a bonus, Bill hasincluded thirty-seven pages taken from thelong out-of-print Not We But One.
