Adi and Rhoda Dubash, devoted followers of Meher Baba, shared their experiences and insights with a group of Baba lovers. Adi emphasized the importance of living Baba’s message of love and truth, while Rhoda recounted her personal journey to becoming a Baba lover, highlighting the unique and individual nature of each person’s connection to Baba. The couple expressed their admiration for the selfless work being done by the Baba family and encouraged them to continue spreading Baba’s message. Rhoda, initially skeptical of Meher Baba, was challenged by her fiancé’s belief in Him. After witnessing a torrential downpour on her wedding day, she began to question her beliefs. During her first meeting with Baba, she felt a deep longing to see Him again, which He seemed to sense and respond to, easing her longing. Rhoda recounts her journey to accepting Meher Baba as God in human form. Initially skeptical, she was drawn to Baba after witnessing a miraculous event on her wedding day. Years later, after a series of personal experiences and revelations, she fully embraced Baba’s divinity and found joy and peace in His presence.

Rhoda believes Meher Baba is God in human form due to His divine attributes, such as love, compassion, forgiveness, and omniscience. Adi, Rhoda’s husband, was introduced to Baba through his cousin Minoo and grew up in an environment where Baba’s presence was felt, despite his father’s initial opposition. Adi’s first physical encounter with Baba in Madras solidified his faith, and he has since accepted Baba’s teachings without question. A small group of elderly Baba lovers in Karachi, despite their limited numbers, demonstrate immense dedication and love for Baba. They collectively contributed 25,000 Rupees to the Pilgrim Centre, a significant sum for them, showcasing their unwavering commitment to Baba’s work. The group believes in Baba’s self-imposed humiliation period, anticipating His manifestation and glorification in the future. Adi and Rhoda believe that Meher Baba will manifest as Himself in their lifetime, not after 700 years. They emphasize that love for Baba should be unconditional and not based on expectations or rituals. The discussion highlights the importance of sincerity and love in one’s connection with Baba, rather than intellectual understanding or adherence to rituals.
