Mani S. Irani recounts the profound experience of witnessing Meher Baba’s humanity, particularly His purity and compassion. Mani emphasizes the significance of Baba’s seemingly ordinary actions, like drinking water, which held universal spiritual meaning. Mani also shares anecdotes of the mandali’s protective instincts towards Baba during His travels and interactions with the world. Meher Baba often teased His disciples about breaking His silence, despite their unwavering belief in Him. He would engage in playful banter, expressing concern about potential misunderstandings or logistical issues, while His disciples reassured Him. This behavior persisted for years, with Baba never explicitly confirming or denying His plans to break His silence.
