Baba Ram Das asked why Baba wanted people to stop taking drugs if it was the drugs that brought them to Him. Baba explained that drugs are like a plane that can take you to Him, but you must get off the plane to truly meet Him. He also emphasized the importance of acceptance, comparing it to trusting a pilot to fly the plane safely.

Eruch recounts the story of Vivekananda, a disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, who initially pursued occult powers despite his guru’s warnings. After a series of divine interventions, Vivekananda embraced his role as a spiritual teacher and gained worldwide recognition. Eruch uses this story to illustrate the importance of the Avatar as a reminder of God’s presence, similar to how a portrait reminds us of a loved one.

Eruch recounts a time when a doctor, Hirji, visited Meher Baba, who was suffering from high urea levels. Despite the medical reports, Hirji was surprised to find Baba coherent and without any outward signs of illness. This incident highlights the contrast between Baba’s frail human body and the divine presence experienced by His followers.

Eruch discusses the difference between worship and love, emphasizing that Baba desires love over ritualistic worship. He shares a humorous anecdote about Baba’s reaction to a family’s display of love through food, highlighting that Baba values genuine love over outward expressions. Eruch concludes by reiterating Baba’s message that God should be loved, not feared.
