July 29th. Jean and I had a joint interview with Baba in Meherabad. He asked us about everybody, Minta (my sister) especially. He said he would summon a meeting to do with publishing a revised Discourses edited by Mr. Purdom, which I had brought with me. He said he would take care of our health.

July 30th-August 4th. There followed three separate interviews on alternate days. At the first of these, Baba asked me to tell him everything that had happened to me during the separation. As always happens on these occasions, it does not seem necessary to say anything—one forgets anyway. The only important thing was being in Baba's loving presence. However, I did say that I was unhappy about the way I worked for him. I did not feel adequate in the way I conveyed him to others. He listened intently and gravely to all that I had to say. Then he said (on his board) that from then onwards I would work for him 100% to his satisfaction and my own peace of mind. He instructed me to write to several people giving them all his news. He told us that we were to leave in the middle of October for England. I was to stay two months in London and then go on to Panama. The rest was not yet settled.

August 5th. Elizabeth returned from a trip to the U.S.A. She and Norina are to stay here until we go to Pimpalgaon. Baba has given me vitamins A, B, C and D to take. This is apart from Nilu's prescriptions.

August 6th. We all got up at 4:00 a.m, to go to the cinema. I had a temperature and felt ill, but Kitty said Baba would be displeased if I did not make the effort to go. Groups of women joined us at the cinema at 6:00 a.m.

August 20th. Baba on his return called us to stay with him in the house in Ahmednagar until Pimpalgaon was ready. It had to be enlarged to make room for myself and Jean. We seemed lifted into a different vibration, being so close to him in day-to-day life. I ceased to make notes. All our thoughts and love and endeavors focused only on Baba. It is always an amazing and unforgettable experience to live like this. All time and space are here where he treads the earth.

Jean did some typing and editing of the new Discourses. I had to read "thrillers" at any hour Baba wished. Sometimes he would start walking all about the house and insisted, much to the amusement of the others, that I walk behind him, still reading. The newspaper was passed around every
