In this talk, Meherwan Merchant powerfully describes the life of Pleader, one of Baba’s dear Mandali. While Pleader was seeking God-realization as a young man in 1928, he was told by Narayan Maharaj that he would find his guru within a month. Soon after, he found himself at Meher Baba’s feet. Baba promised Pleader God-realization, but not without severe suffering. From months of seclusion, to journeys through the Himalayas, to exhausting work with Masts, to intense physical pain, Pleader lived for Baba for thirty-two more years until the moment He fulfilled His promise.
