Once upon a time, Meher Baba invited the Western male disciples to India for three weeks of special sahavas (which became the Three Incredible Weeks visit). Don Stevens was invited but was unable to attend due to illness. He wrote to Baba about this, who responded, "I will make it up to you, Don." So, the next year, Baba held the "Four Language Groups Sahavas" for the four main language groups of India. Each language group had one week of Sahavas with Beloved Baba. Don was invited to attend that. He was one of only two from the West. Francis Brabazon was the other. Don told me that after the Sahavas, as he was packing to leave, one of the disciples came to his room saying, "Baba is calling you." Don stopped what he was doing, and followed the Indian disciple out of the building. Don said, right outside the door, under a tree, sat Baba in a chair, with a small table next to him. On the table, was a stack of papers, and on the papers was a rock. Don was surprised by all this, and Baba spoke to him through a disciple, saying something like: Don, I hope you have enjoyed your time here with me, during this Sahavas. Of course Don replied it was thrilling and lovely, and how happy he was to have been there. Baba continued, gesturing to the papers on the table: I have brought here some of my messages and words given out over the years, which as I have told you in the past, are of the type that I have personally gone over with the Mandali (i.e. Baba's favorite words of his own). Would you be willing to take these back with you and make something like a little book out of them, similar to Discourses? And with that Baba picked them up off the table and held them out to Don. But Don said, Baba I don't know how I could do that, those are your words, and etc. To which Baba responded, "I will help you." Don agreed, saying -- I will do my best Baba. And Baba was very happy, and continued, saying something like: And now that you have been here at this Sahavas, you could write another part that describes your experiences here. In fact, I have had my secretary keeping careful notes of what I have shared here, and I could make those notes available to you as well. That could be a part of such a book, don't you think? Don again agreed. Baba continued, and Don, Baba values your own insights and observations, and understanding. You could also be free, and write another section just based on your own feelings about Baba, and spirituality. That would be a good section too, yes? Don agreed, and Baba handed him the papers. When Don got back to the West, he said he took the papers out of the envelope he had them in, and laid them out around them in subject/topic piles. Then he picked up each pile and
"Baba is calling you."
