THE GROUP BECAME SILENT

 
One afternoon we had a delightful tea with Baba at the apartment of one of the English group. Suddenly, in the midst of the laughter and joy, we noticed Baba's face drawn as if in great pain. Instantly the group became silent, as we shared in sympathy the unknown burden which we sensed he had assumed.

Later, he explained: "If you knew the agony which thousands are undergoing this moment in Spain, you would understand my pain."
