Meherazad
25th November 1966
Dear Amiya,
Your letter of 21st November was received and read out to Baba and He felt very happy to hear it.
You have imprisoned Him in your heart and in that prison, He is locked up in such a way that even if He wants to get out of it, He can not get out of it. When this imprisonment will become very agonizing to Him and intolerable to Him, He will take you out of the prison, and just get liberated from it Himself. You are giving Baba a severe punishment, but Baba is happy to receive this punishment, because He loves to be given only this kind of punishment. He wants that He should be punished like that, but very few can give Him this kind of punishment.
Your simple heart makes Baba immensely happy, and your heart has now become His residence. You are fortunate, and Baba is simply anxious to make you drink the cup of light and the cup of dawn.
Sri Shiv Sharanlal Nigam has been informed that he has an inner thirst for Baba, and this thirst is so great that it can not be quenched with just one or two drops of the nectar. Hence, he should be ready to drink the whole portion, and then the experience he will get will be a continuous and never-ceasing one and there won't be any break in his experiences. Therefore he should not feel disappointed, and he should remember Baba wholeheartedly1.
Baba expresses great pleasure to hear about the programs held at Varanasi, and He wants that you go on encouraging the Varanasi centre people so that all the workers there remain active. Varanasi is a place of rituals, and is wearing the cloak of festivities. It is just as if they are only happy to eat the husk rather than the rice. Therefore it is necessary that Baba work should take a greater speed, and with Baba's grace this will definitely happen one day. Baba wants that you go for adequate treatment of dear Meher Kumar, and do not have any worry. Baba's nazar is on him.
Baba is immensely pleased with you, and He sends you, Matajee, Gauri and Dev Narayan Kharate His love, and to dear Mehernandini and Meher Kumar His love-filled kiss.
Jai Baba
Affectionately,
Your Bhau
