“Can you imagine the force that it will generate?”
In this brief audio recording from Mandali Hall, Baba’s sister Mani reflects on the unique beauty and power of Baba children. As Meher Center prepares for its annual Youth Sahavas, Mani’s words feel particularly poignant as she says, “[The children] at one time would all be teenagers together, they’ll all be grown people together. Can you imagine the force that it will generate?. . . I love to think of that.”

“Obedience to the Master is literal”
In his trademark style, Padri talks of His beloved with a might that only one trained in humility by his Master can command. In this audio, Padri is touring pilgrims around lower Meherabad. He shares stories about the Jhopdi, the table, Baba’s silence, the Manzil-e-Meem days and Baba’s arrival in Meherabad. As always, he reminds us of Baba’s stature as a king and that of His lovers as the Master’s slaves.

“The magnitude of His bounty”
Mani tells a story about Baba and His silence. One day at Meherazad, Baba sat on Eruch’s bed and asked him to take down a message about the breaking of Baba’s silence that was to be sent out in a circular to all His lovers. Baba simultaneously doodled a picture of two fish and a bird on a pad of paper lying nearby. Then He made a statement about His silence that Mani would never forget.
