Dr. Deshmukh came to Meherazad on Friday, 1 January 1965. Chinta Sarvarao, Majety Ramamohan Rao and Manikyala Rao from Andhra also had a meeting with Baba that day at 1:30 P.M. for an hour. Ramjoo came for a few hours on the 2nd with S. G. Jog, a friend from Satara who was a homeopathic doctor.

As mentioned, on several occasions, Baba permitted his brother Adi Jr. to bring his family for Baba's darshan. Shireen was only seven years old, but was quite intelligent and precocious. Her visits enlivened the atmosphere at Meherazad, and Baba and the mandali enjoyed her company and inquisitiveness. Once a visitor to their London home, seeing a picture of Baba on the wall, asked who it was. Before Adi or Franey could reply, Shireen declared, "That is God!"

She would sometimes ask her father questions that he could not answer. For example, once she asked, "What is beyond space?" and when she did not get a satisfactory reply, she said, "You are God's brother, and yet you don't know the answer!"

Adi Jr. told his daughter, "You'd better wait and put such questions to your Uncle when you meet him."

She would say, "Yes, only God can explain these things to me."

After embracing Baba one day, Shireen sat near his feet and at the first opportunity asked him, "Baba, what is beyond space?"

The mandali were awestruck at such a question from a child of seven. Baba looked at her lovingly and gestured, "God."

Shireen seemed to understand this, but then asked, "Then where is heaven?"

Baba gestured in reply, "It is between space and God." Shireen looked satisfied.

  When Shireen told a friend at school that she was leaving for India to meet God, they thought up a question together to ask God: "Which is higher: the stars, the Sun, the Moon or the clouds?"

She asked it now and Baba smiled and answered, "I am. I am the Highest of the High."

One day Adi Jr. told Shireen to remove her shoes before going into the hall at Meherazad. Shireen asked why, and Adi explained, "Don't you know we are going inside to meet God?"

"But isn't God everywhere?" she questioned. "Is He not in the shoes?"

Adi said, "Baba is God in human form and to express reverence we remove our shoes, for shoes collect dirt and we should be clean in the presence of God."
