His eyes had a strange, faraway glow.

The lights went on again, and a few people stepped up before us all to have their interview with Baba. Baba then "talked" to us again, saying, through the voice of Eruch by His side:

"Baba is eternally happy, yet eternally suffering. Baba is free here as Baba, but in you as Baba He is bound. If you loved Me truly, with all
