IN THIS AGE OF MESS, HOLD FAST TO MY DAAMAN AND BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HONEST . . .

Meher Baba’s birthday message for 1967 was:

Births and deaths are illusory phenomena. One really dies when one is born to live as God, the Eternal Who is beyond both birth and death.

The circular also stated:

Please note very carefully: — Avatar Meher Baba will be in Poona from 1st April to the end of June, 1967. As usual, Baba will stay at Guruprasad, 24 Bund Road, Poona.

Baba wishes all his lovers to be informed that he wants to remain completely undisturbed until the end of 1967. He will not give darshan to his lovers and will not see visitors until after 1967.

After 1967, Baba will himself announce when he will give darshan to his lovers. Therefore, Baba wants his lovers not to come to him of their own accord for his darshan before his announcement is circulated.

During his stay at Guruprasad in Poona for the three months (April to June, 1967), Baba will see only those whom he has called or will specifically call for his work.

Yogi Shuddhanand Bharati wrote a book in the Tamil language called Meher Mahima (Glory of Meher). For it, Baba gave this message on February 6th: (1967)

In this Age of Mess, my message is: Hold fast to my daaman and be one hundred percent honest in every way, because God, besides being infinite power, knowledge and bliss, is also infinite honesty; and so, by being honest in everything, you will be able to love God honestly as He ought to be loved.
