DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES

December 1924

One day in December, Baba instructed Chanji to take Mehera, Naja and Daulat to see a film at his Madelaine Cinema, which he owned. They were wearing ordinary saris and as they were leaving, Baba remarked to them, "Have you all turned into nuns ? Do clothes have any connection with spirituality ? NO !  Change your clothes and then let's go! "

The ladies were happy, putting on their finest saris and they went with Baba to the cinema.

Baba only watched half the film and they returned to their residency. During this month, Chanji was asked to sell his cinema, and after disposing of all of his worldly possessions, to come and stay permanently with the Mandali.
