Meher Today – 7th August

7 August 1927

Padri’s mother Freiny Masi met Baba at Meherabad on Sunday, 7 August 1927 and informed Baba that Colonel Irani had had their younger brother Rustom committed to a mental asylum. Baba assured Freiny Masi that there was nothing serious about Rustom’s temporary mental condition — but that if he was left in the asylum he would go insane! Baba had a letter written to Dinshaw M. Irani to use his influence to have Rustom released. Baba asked Freiny Masi about her son (Padri’s elder brother) Rusi, who had been one of Baba’s classmates and who was then in America.
