Eruch recounts stories about Harry Kenmore, a blind doctor who visited Meher Baba thirteen times. Baba, despite His failing health, instructed Harry to visit Him in November after a large darshan event, emphasizing their close relationship. After Baba’s passing, Harry honored Baba’s wish and visited Meherazad, where Eruch shared stories about Baba and Harry recorded their conversations. A blind man named Harry, who was staying at Meherazad, had a unique encounter with a farmer who turned out to be Baba in disguise. This encounter fulfilled Harry’s wish for a sign from Baba, confirming His awareness of Harry’s presence. The story highlights Baba’s close relationship with Harry and His playful, loving interactions with him.

A letter dated December 13, 1968, from Boris Georgiev in New York, described miraculous help and a vision of Meher Baba’s help during a difficult time in, and escaping with his life from, Bulgaria. Meher Baba replied, confirming the vision and offering blessings, but the man’s whereabouts remain unknown despite efforts to locate him.

Eruch recounts the story of Pukar, a revolutionary who initially opposed Meher Baba. During a rare return to the “old life,” Baba invited people to meet Him, including Pukar. Demonstrating His teaching on obedience, Baba instructed Vishnu to lock the gate, leading to a confrontation with Pukar, who ultimately surrendered and demonstrated his newfound understanding of obedience.

Stanley Fisher recounts his journey to meet Meher Baba in 1968. Inspired by Baba’s words in a book, Stanley and his friend Ben embarked on a pilgrimage from Lebanon to India, relying on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter. Upon arriving in Bombay, Stanley traveled to Meherazad, where he received a letter from Baba, marking the beginning of his spiritual journey. Baba’s letter instructed him to leave India, stop using drugs, and live a normal life. Baba also advised Stanley to share Baba’s message of love and truth with others and to return to the US. Stanley left India shortly after receiving the letter and, although he lost contact with the Baba community, he continued to share Baba’s message during his travels.

A woman in Bombay, facing eviction, wrote a letter to God for help. She addressed it to “Lord God, care of postmaster general,” and the postmaster, moved by her plea, collected money from his subordinates to help her. When she received the money, she complained that God had sent less than she asked for, believing that the postmaster had deducted a fee.
