"Now no morel It is already giving me a headache. Ben says 'Baba, relax!' (Ben didn't say anything.) Beryl, see: This gross human mind, which can invent, imagine, think anything, can't know the minds of others. But the mentally conscious human mind can know the minds of all. It is so powerful, it can even raise from the dead a body that has been dust for one hundred years. It has happened before. This power that is received is the rays of the Supreme All-Power that is the sun, is God.

Adi pointed out the bedroom where he and Nariman slept (that is, if they slept), and Nariman showed Baba's bedroom where he had embraced those who were there in '56. One devotee felt impelled to kneel here, and Nariman invited him to sit on Baba's chair, saying: "Go on and satisfy your desire to sit on it. It's all right." The God-Man does not sleep the ordinary sleep and there was an indefinable uniqueness in that atmosphere. The bed was imported from India and the mattress too. From the windows the ocean could be seen. Baba had told someone that He had lived all over the world and even in caves, but that He loves this house because it was built with love.

 

Eruch came out on the porch, followed by Baba and Adi. The Beloved could hardly take a step unaided. They walked slowly across the garden and
