“I realized for the first time in my life I was home”
The second part of Ann Conlon’s “fairytale” opens with her momentous first sighting of Baba after waiting five long years to meet Him. She expected to be able to see Him for only one hour, but that hour stretched to three hours and then five full days. With her dry wit, she recounts Baba’s delight in a rambunctious, enthusiastic crowd, several stories He shared and what they meant to her, as well as what seemed like a truly confounding direction. After Baba had invited her into a meeting with the men mandali, He told her that when He returns in 700 years to “make sure that you come back as a man so you can attend these exclusive meetings.” After everyone laughed and she left, Ann thought “Wait a minute…”

“I feel happy I obeyed my beloved Baba”
Mehera tells the story of the gold ring that Upasni Maharaj gave her and how Baba used it to test her. Rich in details, Meher recounts how Upasni was given the ring and then, after wearing it on his toe and giving darshan, he put it on Mehera’s finger. Upasni then ordered her to “always keep it on your finger and don’t part with it.” But later, when she was with Baba, He asked for everyone’s gold rings. Mehera immediately complied, despite Upasni’s order, and gave the ring to Baba. Within minutes, He returned the ring to Mehera and then gave her a second one.
