Dearest Harshaji,

 

This is great to see this rainy, beautiful California Sunday. Why, indeed,

was not Babaji ever brought up? Perhaps the pressing time schedule would not

allow a conversation of that magnitude, for what could be said of the

illustrious Babaji? Sri Daya Mataji said that Babaji IS Love Itself. Of

course, correctly so. And I am of the belief that My Gurudeva asked those

questions not because he knew not the answers, of course again, but that

these two great ones knew that we would one day be sitting here chatting

about their sacred meeting.

And so we are, and in this exchange we are in that exchange, we are that

spark of Joy that they were/are that day so seemingly, (Ha!) long ago.

 

Love to you dear one,

Mazie
