Meeting Meher Baba
According to Jessawala the first time he remembered meeting Meher Baba was in 1925 at the age of nine on a trip with his family to Ahmednagar. Twelve years later, while Jessawala was preparing to study engineering, Meher Baba called him to Panchgani and asked him, "Will you leave everything and come to be with me?" To this Jessawala answered, "By your grace anything is possible." Thus Eruch Jessawala joined Meher Baba as his disciple in 1938 at the age of 21. In 1945, due to family pressures, Eruch Jessawala was married to Khorshed Damania; but according to Meher Baba's orders, soon after the wedding, he joined Baba permanently and never lived with his wife In time Khorshed Damania met another man called Mirchandani, who claimed to be a Guru. After a family meeting Khorshed chose to continue to associate herself with Mirchandani, and Meher Baba ordered her not to write to Eruch or him, or see either of them ever again.

Famous quotes containing the word meeting:
“I feel the desire to be with you all the time. Oh, an occasional absence of a week or two is a good thing to give one the happiness of meeting again, but this living apart is in all ways bad. We have had our share of separate life during the four years of war. There is nothing in the small ambition of Congressional life, or in the gratified vanity which it sometimes affords, to compensate for separation from you. We must manage to live together hereafter. I can’t stand this, and will not.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
