October 30-Our Most Profound Pilgrimage with Baba

Jai Baba, all.

For tonight’s topic we were hoping to hear some of the stories of Baba’s personalized grace and presence in your lives. Our Baba goes to great lengths to ensure that we know He loves us. We feel one of the ways He does this is through our pilgrimages to visit Him.

Through the journeys to His home, He pours His eternal Love on us. He showers us in serendipitous experiences that last a lifetime. The perfection in which Baba orchestrates minute details to ensure we feel welcomed is extraordinary. He remembers things that we ourselves even forget. Over the years at the Center and in India we have heard innumerable accounts of His personalized Nazaar over all His Lovers. After all, He knows us better than we know ourselves, and you best believe He uses that to His Divine advantage.

We hope tonight can be a sharing of those experiences. This is God’s Work in the present. Maybe you visited the Center in desperation and the Avatar gave you an experience to help you carry on. Maybe, you curiously traveled to Meherana and were deeply moved by Baba’s infinite beauty. All of these experiences require laborious work and Divine timing from our Lord.

This topic came to mind because I will travel to India tomorrow with the lovely Izzy. It will be her first trip. I have been there many times, but some trips stick out more than others. Some trips He doesn’t give us the experience we expect which can leave us feeling abandoned and doubtful. Some trips as you are packing your suitcase you feel an immense outpour of His Love before you even arrive . Why do you think that it is? Do you feel He waits until our hearts truly have the longing for Him? Or is it possible that when we feel He is absent from us what He is really calling for us to do is turn to Him at an inner level? We have felt that often when we go on pilgrimage with expectation He shatters it to create room for the only Reality-His. Is this your experience?

He gives us exactly what we need, even if what we need is a true catalyst for uncomfortable growth. Have you had trips that were terribly trying, but lead you closer to oneness? Have you had trips that felt as if there was a Divinely blissful exchange of Lover and Beloved? Was there a trip in your early life with Baba that gave you the conviction to know He is who He says He is?

We believe Baba does deep Work on us while we are on His centers. We have heard many stories of people having profound insights about the changes they need to make in their lives. Have you had any of those experiences? It is incredible the lengths Baba goes to in order to reach our hearts. Many pilgrimages in India are filled with great sickness that leave us weak and crying out for His help. Has this happened to you? Was there a closeness you felt to our Beloved in this malady?

These are just a few examples, but I am sure you all have many more of your own. We cannot wait to share and allow our lovely, Izzy to hold these in her backpack as she travels to the Home of the Heart.

In His Love,

Margi and Peter
