Meheru Irani ~ My Sweet Obedience

Los Angeles Sahavas, Pilgrim Pines July 1993. The theme of Meheru’s talk is Obedience to Baba. Meheru is the youngest of the mandali, and went to live with Baba when she was 16 years old.
Meheru shares her observations and experiences regarding Obedience while living and traveling with Baba. In Baba’s words, “Obedience is greater than love.” With these opening words, Meheru first talks about Mehera’s obedience. Mehera thought obedience to Baba is most important. Baba’s last message to Mehera was “Not to worry and be brave.” Meheru saw Mehera living these words during the Last Darshan consoling women Baba lovers as they saw Baba’s body lying in the tomb, even though Mehera needed consoling the most.

Meheru shares an incident in Lahore, Pakistan of her failure to comply with Baba’s orders. In a movie theater a man with a large turban was sitting and blocking Baba’s view.

Baba played on Meheru’s shyness by asking her to ask the man to move to an adjacent chair. Although reluctant, Meheru asked and the man moved, but now his turban blocked Mehera’s view. Baba asked Meheru to ask the man to move again. This time, Meheru could not overcome her reluctance and Meheru felt Baba’s displeasure! Fortunately, Baba forgave Meheru, but it was a lesson not forgotten.

Other stories captured in this video include Meheru informing Baba on other mandali’s activities, life in Baba’s ashram, memories of Kashmir, and the horse tonga story.
