🌻 Now I Know - 1 🌻
It was the kindness and love of Avatar Meher Baba that gave me the opportunity of serving him personally for many years. I attended to him during the nights because he did not sleep. I had the privilege of massaging his delicate body and pressing his feet. I have worked on many of his books, and have corresponded on his behalf with many people throughout India.
I always observed that no one was really separated from him, and he was feeling the pulse of each one every moment, even though they were not in his physical presence. When Meher Baba was alone in seclusion, he was worshipping the whole universe and was always remembering his lovers throughout the world.
In the late 1960's he would remain mostly in seclusion, and apparently had stopped all external communication with those who knew him and loved him in the world. But internally he would remain very close to those who knew him and who loved him, and he would be close even to those who did not know he was on earth. The Avatar is the Beloved of all. He is the Beloved for all time. He is the Real One; he is the Sole Reality in illusion, and it is he who alone exists.
During the month of October, 1968, when Meher Baba was in seclusion, like a fool, I would often have such thoughts as, "Why isn't Baba giving darshan to the people? Why does he remain in seclusion and not allow anyone to see him? There are so many people eager to have his darshan, but he does not allow any of them to come to see him."
One night during this time, Baba asked me, "What are you thinking?" I told him everything that was going on in my mind.
In reply Baba gestured, "My work is different. It isn't my work to travel continuously, holding darshan programs, allowing people to bow down to me. It isn't my work to give discourses continuously, to perform miracles and attract the masses. I do not come for this purpose. I come for all and I come to awaken them.
"You have no idea what I am doing in my seclusion. The more you stretch the bow, the greater the distance the arrow will fly, and the harder it will hit its target. I am stretching my bow in seclusion, more and more, to strike one and all. And when the arrow will be released, it will strike hard and cause wounds in all! Then the wound of each heart will have my darshan continuously!
"So I am working to give them darshan, but this darshan will have meaning for them!" I listened, but I could not understand the meaning of his remarks at that time. Seeing my lack of understanding, and my confusion, Baba just smiled, and he did not gesture more.
