L-R Nadine Tolstoy, Norina Matchabelli, Mercedes D Acosta Meher Baba and William Hurlbut
To Nadine Tolstoy, on November 22nd, Baba wrote:
Trials and hardships are stepping stones to spirituality. They lead you on to your ultimate aim and desire — to realize the Truth — and now that you have surrendered yourself to me, they bring you closer to me, in love and devotion.
Sufferings in selflessly serving others also bring a better understanding of things in life … So carry on, dearest, as you are, always keeping me in mind and at heart, as you do. You will thereby be a pure channel and a vehicle for me to work through for the welfare of humanity, and thus participate in my great work.
