These are the words of Meher Baba. p. 256 "Later on Maharaj sent word by Adi's mother Gulmai, "Soon I shall drop this body, so tell Merwan to come and see me. I said I would not set foot in Sakori, so a meeting was arranged elsewhere in a hut. We embraced each other and I put my head under his foot. He said, "You are Adi-Shakti" (The Supreme Power). He started weeping, and said to me, "Keep you eye on Sakori." Then we both went away, and three to four months later, Maharaj dropped his body, and Godavri was given charge of the nuns. Godavri was in the secret all the time but never said a word about me. also see another account of their meeting: The Biography of the
