The book features the pure life of Eruch, a student who devoted his life to his avatar Meher Baba. The heartwarming love story between a student and a teacher as a mere human being, not as a god, gives readers fresh wisdom for 72 stories to evoke a shift in thinking in a frame-telling way.

There's a famous anecdote of Confucius that makes it easy to understand the frame method.

Confucius and his disciples were on their way to Qin when they ran out of food and couldn't eat anything for a week, but the disciple Anhoe managed to get some rice and was cooking the rice. Confucius looked into the kitchen to see if the rice was ready, opened the lid of the rice cooker, and saw Anhoe eating a handful of rice, and Confucius was greatly disappointed and soon returned to his room. Anhoe was even worse off because he was the most respected disciple among his disciples. When Anhoe said that the rice was ready, Confucius said, "Anhoe! I just met my good friend in my dream, and he told my ancestors to hold a memorial service first when it turned out to be rice." The intention was to make Anhoe regret that he had secretly eaten. When he heard this, Anhoe got down on his knees and said, "Seung! You cannot have a memorial service with this rice. The moment I opened the lid, a arrow fell off the ceiling and gave it to my teacher, and I ate it because it was dirty and a waste of time." Confucius said to his other disciples, ashamed and regretful to have doubted Anhui for a moment: "Before, I believed in my eyes. But my eyes are completely untrustworthy. And I believed in my head, too. But my head is also completely untrustworthy. Remember that what you saw and heard may not necessarily be true."

In this way, this book contains stories that control the mind so that you are not prejudiced by the trend and surrounding circumstances by changing your thinking. Now, through a love partner, I will tell you the stories of my disciples who have focused on loving and obeying their teachers.

작가정보

저자(글) Eruch Jesawala

Eruch was born in Bombay, India, to Zoroastrian parents Beheram and Gaimai Zesewala. His father was a custodian who held high-level positions in the Indian government in Nagpur, then the capital of the central province. Due to his father's frequent move, Eruch was assigned to an authentic Zoroastrian boarding school in Nasik, India, at the age of six. When his father eventually bought the property, Eruch transferred to the Catholic school at the age of eight, where he grew up to be an outstanding student and eventually planned to study engineering like his father.

Her memory of meeting Meher Baba was when she was 9 years old, while she was traveling to Ahmednagar with her family in 1925. Twelve years later, while Eruch was preparing to study engineering, Meher Baba called him to Panchigani and asked, "Will you abandon everything and come with me?" In response, Eruch Jesawala became a pupil of Meher Baba at the age of 21 in 1938.

Meher Baba remained silent for 44 years from 1925 until his death in 1969. Eruch Jesawala was Meher Baba's principal interpreter, interpreting both his English alphabet board and silent sign language. Eruch Jesawala also wrote an alphabetical version of Meher Baba's main book, God Speaks, wrote the ninth chapter of the book under the direct supervision of Meher Baba, and wrote the book's conclusions. This life story of Eruch with Meher Baba was published during his lifetime.

Eruch survived Meher Baba's death for 32 years and continued to live in Meherajad until his death in 2001, working for the avatar Meher Baba Permanent Public Interest Charitable Trust at the trust office in Ahmednagar. He continued to inspire Meher Baba's followers and disciples, east and west, to the end. Eruch showed an exceptional talent for telling the life of Meher Baba, and his books are excerpts from these stories.
