Tomorrow, there will be a group discussion at 2:00 p.m. at the Meeting Place about Meher Baba and His messages about drugs and how that impacted people and continues to do so. For more information on other special presentations planned for the year, please click here.
Meher Baba's Beloved Mehera reunited with Him on May 20th, 1989. This coming week, we will be honoring Mehera on that day with a special program on Center. Please check our weekly calendar.
The report on Mehera's health sent to Kitty-Margaret-Jane on 9th May 1989 served as a prelude to the details of Mehera's final days. Mani opens with an account that is so reflective of Mehera's unmatchable love and remembrance of the Beloved.
"Years ago, a Baba lover from the States sent us a batch of Fortune cookies which had a Baba-saying enclosed in each one. The little pink slip in the cookie which Mehera picked said: 'The more you think of Me, the more you will realise My love for you.' This message from the Beloved, preserved by Mehera in a decorative little china box all these years, serves as a fitting opening to this account of the last weeks of Mehera's most precious life on earth in the highest role of God's Avataric Advent as Meher Baba. For the more we think of the period of Mehera's illness, the more we realise Baba's love for her, Baba's tender compassion in veiling her suffering when most needed. His saving her from a prolonged illness as He carried her swiftly through the last crucial week when each day brought on a new and humiliating binding to her freedom of movement and self-expression."
Towards the end of this account, Mani recounts the message Mehera sent to all in July of the year before. Mehera said, "When each of you tries 100 percent to do as Baba wants, He is surely near you helping you. To do so is often not easy, but with Baba's help it is not impossible. Beloved Avatar Meher Baba's advent on earth as man is to help us on our spiritual journey. Know that He does help and guide us on the path to the Goal, which is to Himself. And by offering us His Daaman to hold. Beloved Baba is making the journey so much easier for us. So hold fast to Meher's Daaman with both hands and love Him more and more."
In Baba's love and service,
Buz Connor,
For Meher Center board and staff
