“Love is the only thing that will counteract worry”

Henry Kashouty, a dedicated lover of Baba, tells his story of coming to Baba. He recounts his own pursuit of higher values and a deep desire to acquire these values. On reading the Bhagavad Gita, he wanted to meet a personification of those values. Right away he saw Baba’s face in the book God Speaks and knew that He was God. Henry went on to meet Baba at the Delmonico Hotel in 1956. Through impeccable oration, Henry shares his reflections on the depth of our lives with Baba and the lessons he learned.

“Sometimes He would make Himself so familiar that we forgot in His own presence who He is”
In this nimble talk, Eruch Jessawala recalls tales from his childhood with Meher Baba, who first communicated with slate and chalk then with an alphabet board. Eruch learned to read Baba’s rapidly moving fingers. Years later, on October 7, 1954, Meher Baba called the Mandali to Him to tell them He was discarding the board. Eruch relates, “We would speak to Him and He would just remain gazing at us.” Now came the arduous task of learning the system of hand gestures that Baba would use for the rest of His days on earth.
