I HAD FOUND THE CONFIRMATION I WAS SEEKING

Bal Natu

Baba instructed Mani to write a letter to both Mrs. Duce and Bili in which he clarified the difference between the Avataric period and the Avataric cycle....

In Baba's explanation of the Circle, it says: "All the fourteen members of the Avatar's Inner Circle realize God by the grace of the Avatar during the same Avataric period, which is of one hundred years' duration after the Manifestation of the Avatar on earth."
The Avataric period has nothing to do with the cycle. Please have that clear. The 100 years after the Manifestation of the Avatar is the period encompassing the direct living and personal radiation of the Avatar.

Back to the '70's as I read the file containing the above explanation, written in 1955, I felt that I had found the confirmation I was seeking. No wonder I could trust that Baba is actively present in the Samadhi: Baba Himself had characterized the Avataric period as being charged by His "direct living and personal radiation."

This is the period in which a special Avataric dispensation continues to flow forth, in spite of the veiling of the Avatar's physical form from our sight. So even now, during this specific period, all who visit the Samadhi at Meherabad are blessed in the same way as being in the Avatar's physical presence.
