DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

GHOSTS

April 1922

Whilst Arjun was on night duty, Meher Baba had told him not to be afraid of anything. One night Arjun heard noises and rustling and then saw 2 huge figures getting bigger and bigger nearby. He became petrified and Baba emerged from his hut and asked, " What's the matter with you ? " 

He continued, " Didn't I tell you not to be afraid when I am here ? "

He then said, " These are ghosts who come to me seeking rebirth. Such spirits of the dead have committed suicide and are unable to take another birth for several centuries. Every night such ghosts come to me , so never be afraid. They won't harm you ."

Arjun became sick after that encounter and continued to be so, for a period of time.
