Now, I was telling Muslim Sora how much we've been hearing about the tour in the States and the silent sawas.
And one of the latest things we heard was from Christine Pearson that they entertained the group with a spontaneous Baba skit.
And it sounded just like the times when it would suddenly put up something and make Baba laugh.
Just to see Baba's enjoyment, just to increase the enjoyment of what they were doing.
Like for Mara's birthday two years ago, or was it last year? On the bus they decided to do something.
And with some impersonated, a woman with a high voice, and Sarah played his part so wonderfully.
And that's how they used to do it for Baba, you know, just suddenly these little things.
It's almost like Baba was saying, Really? Is that what happened there? Is that what it looks like? Is that what I do? There was Saurabh dressed as Baba with his sadra.
There was a sadra and there's two scarves and Rustam put on Erich's coat and cap and Baba came leaning on Erich's arm.
And Baba's seated there in the midst of all his lovers who packed the hall at Guru Prasad Darshan time.
And Baba's gesture of raising his hand like that and reaching to all was so oceanic to anybody who has watched it, who has been there and seen Baba do that.
So anyway, they did that and then sort of sat down and And Rustam adjusted the chair and brought out a kerchief and wiped his brow.
And then the others came and then they offered garlands and they bowed down and some laid their little babies on Baba's lap and at his feet.
