The video clip is Meherwan Jessawalla, my uncle and Eruch's younger brother, talking about Infinite Intelligence. The manuscript's history is already well-documented. However, I would like to share a bit about the editing and the time and effort Meherwan put into this project.
When we found the manuscript, Eruch was still alive and so was Aloba and Bal Natu. A start was made on the transcribing of the document, with all of us who could type being volunteered into the job! I remember Meherwan asking me several times a day, how much have you done? There were also the bits in Gujarati or Hindi that would need translating. Meherwan stayed up late into the night working on it. He already had a lot of routine work to do in Meherazad, but he made time for this. His health suffered, he had stress-related symptoms, was very tired every day, but he did not falter.
Meherwan is an exceptional man. When Beloved Baba was asked what a saint looks like He pointed to Meherwan who happened to be there, and said 'A saint looks like that.'. He (along with Eruch and Manu and Gaimai - their mother) share the rare trait of being very disconnected with their egos. Detachment is just part of it. They genuinely don't realize what exceptional beings they are. Being with them has brought home to me what the art of surrendering totally to His Will truly means. Not that I have too much success at this, but it means I try! Anyone who has met them knows exactly what I mean. Eruch used to talk about 'Congenital Felicity'. This is a Sufi term for being born into a family that has a deep connection with the Avatar of the Age, the Rasool. It apparently takes millions of lifetimes (maybe I exaggerate the numbers or maybe I am being conservative) to be born in such a family. I am so glad that in this advent Meher Baba gave me such a family. Thank You Baba, for Congenital Felicity!!
