Bili Eaton first met Meher Baba in 1952 in New York and upon first seeing Him felt a shock, “as if I had stepped on a live wire” and then a love “greater than any love I’ve ever experienced.” In this 1988 recording she shares some “little instances… of what Baba was like” during his 1956 and 1958 visits to the US. From times when she was lucky enough to be alone with Him to seeing Baba after knowingly disobeying Him to hiding in the shrubbery just to be near Him more, this recording is full of humorous episodes as well as what it was like to get a small glimpse of Baba’s profound suffering.
