In 1930 the British journalist Paul Brunton visited Meher Baba's ashrams in Meherabad and Nasik. The British journalist interviewed Meher Baba in the Panchvati Cave. He reported Meher Baba's words in his book
In Search of Secret India (1934), but left out some of the material he collected.
Glow International was the first to publish this omitted material, and the following excerpt is taken from that publication.
"When a Master dies he takes no further interest in the affairs of the gross world—not even a Christ. Hence those who imagine that a 'dead' Master is responding to their prayers or watching them, are wrong. . . . Nevertheless when a sincere devotee prays and intensely concentrates on a dead Prophet, like Christ, and calls on him for any help, a living master then in the world will feel that this cry is being made, and if the sincerity and aspiration of the devotee warrant it, he will manifest himself to the devotee, taking on the appearance of Christ, etc., and answer the prayer."
