    Eruch describes life with Baba as one where constant companionship with Him requires sacrificing personal enjoyment, such as relishing food or enjoying leisure activities. He humorously notes that Baba’s friends must adapt to His ways, which include eating quickly and sleeping less.

    Eruch recounts a story where Meher Baba, while in seclusion in Kashmir, pointed to a valley and stated that Jesus’ body rested there, contradicting the belief that Jesus was buried near Jerusalem. This revelation, shared by early disciples, has sparked controversy and research, with some scholars claiming Jesus died in Kashmir and presenting various proofs. Despite the controversy, Eruch and others remain focused on their connection with Meher Baba, viewing the debate as a testament to Jesus’ enduring influence.

    Kirpal Singh, a revered master who loved Meher Baba, visited Baba and expressed his followers’ desire for inner experiences. Once when Eruch was sent to visit Kirpal Singh, Eruch’s explained to him that Baba’s presence was enough. However, Kirpal Singh insisted, likening inner experiences to “pep pills on the path.” When Kirpal Singh visited Baba, Eruch discreetly reminded him to ask Baba about inner experiences, leading to a humorous exchange where Baba admitted he knew nothing about granting them. Meher Baba introduced Kirpal Singh to Kaikobad, a Zoroastrian high priest living with Baba, who experienced inner visions through repeating Baba’s name. After their meeting, Kirpal Singh and his followers returned to Baba with gifts, which Baba accepted, highlighting the importance of forgetting worldly concerns in His presence. Baba humorously remarked that inner experiences were not His responsibility, leaving it to Kirpal Singh to provide them.

    A young girl, Kashmira, insisted on seeing Meher Baba despite being told he was unavailable. Eruch, trying to pacify her, promised she could see him the next morning at 8 o’clock if she came alone.

    Eruch recounts a story from the Mahabharata about Lord Krishna’s disciple, Yudhishthira, who is asked to lie about the death of Ashwatthama to win the war. Although Yudhishthira hesitates, believing it to be a lie, Krishna assures him it is not. Later, despite being a virtuous man, Yudhishthira is led through hell before reaching heaven due to his hesitation in obeying Krishna’s command.

    Eruch recounts a story about Vivekananda, Ramakrishna’s disciple, who, despite his master’s warnings, pursued occult powers. While traveling to Madras to find a tantrik, Vivekananda experienced a series of events that led him to abandon his quest. He eventually gained fame in the United States for his lectures on Indian philosophy. Vivekananda, a disciple of a spiritual master, travels to the United States and gains fame. Upon returning to India, he is invited to the palace of the Maharaja of Alwar, who is skeptical of Vivekananda’s teachings about the personal form of God. Through a clever analogy involving the Maharaja’s father’s portrait, Vivekananda helps the Maharaja understand the concept of God incarnate.

    The Zoroastrian population is dwindling, with only about 100,000 worldwide. This is partly due to their tradition of not accepting converts, but there is a growing movement towards intermarriage, which may help stabilize the population.
