1. Their Lives with Meher Baba

  • 60:28
    Dr. Goher Irani recounts the physical ailments and challenges faced by Meher Baba, including indigestion, blisters, and neuralgic pain. Despite these illnesses, Baba continued His work, prioritizing His spiritual duties over His health. Dr. Irani, along with other doctors, did their best to alleviate Baba’s suffering, but often felt helpless as Baba bore the burden of His illnesses alone. Baba experienced severe physical suffering, including allergic reactions to eye drops and excruciating muscle spasms. Despite the pain, Baba remained calm and patient, often masking His discomfort from doctors and visitors. This behavior led to frustration and helplessness for those caring for Him, as they struggled to understand His condition and provide appropriate treatment. Despite having a high blood urea level that should have left Him in a coma, Meher Baba appeared normal to those around Him. He suffered silently, even hiding His pain from His devotees during darshan programs to keep them happy. His physical suffering culminated in a period of seclusion where He beat His thighs to stay grounded, ultimately leaving them black and blue. Baba’s suffering for humanity is a testament to His love, and His grace is what allows us to love Him. Though we may not always understand His actions or feel His presence, He is always with us, guiding us through life’s challenges. By surrendering to Him, having faith, and practicing patience, we can overcome obstacles and grow closer to Him.
