Book Description
Behind the well-documented areas of Meher Baba's life and the great phases of His work is a vast treasure of correspondence between Him and His followers. Written by seven close disciples (mandali) and containing varying degrees of Baba's active participation, the letters appearing in this collection date from the 1950s to theearly 1980s, the period during which correspondence between Meher Baba and His followers became increasingly important. A fair number of these letters were written during periods of Baba's seclusion and show how He maintained outer communication with His lovers while nurturing them to depend upon that which lies within. Other letters--written by the mandali on their own after January 31, 1969--address spiritual issues along guidelines derived from direct experience of Baba's own way of handling similar situations.
