Meher Baba's father SHERIAR IRANI (called Bobo by his children) died in 1932. Baba told his
brothers Beheram and Adi, 'Death is necessary and is like sleep. When a person awakes from sleep, he finds himself as he was. However, after death, a person finds himself in a different atmosphere and in a different body. Both death and birth are dreams. Where is the sense in being merry or miserable for the sake of a dream? Bobo's death, however, is not sleep. He has gone beyond it and is awake forever. He is emancipated, and has been given Mukti - Liberation.' |
