Ilm-e-Khshnoom - Traditional Zoroastrianism: Tenets of the Religion

wrote to him. He got a reply through Manchershah Kekobad and after some time he met Baheramshahji at
Mumbai. Cawasji writes:
During the very first visit I got an impression on my mind that he was not like an ordinary man.
The spiritual lustre on his white face and his physical stature were strongly affixed in my mind.
Since I had to go back to my job, I had a few visits and some little talks. "Keep faith, everything will
turn out to be all-good": were his words which were engraved in my heart. And these words are
so engraved till now and shall remain so."
Here, during the initial visits, Ustad Saheb gave him the first "Guru-mantra" - the dictate of the master.
The five Gujerati words meant that in life, we must maintain our faith that whatever happens is good or for our
good. Don't get disturbed at a calamity; remember Ahura's grace is hidden in every moment of life, and the
ultimate result is surely to be good.
Things then started happening in Cawasji's life. His job at Hubli fell into jeopardy. Differences of opinion
started building up with his coworkers. He was a straightforward man and not prone to flatter his superiors or
say "yes sir" to everything. The job was likely to be lost. To add to his troubles, his child was ill and almost
dying. Now please read his words:
"He (Baheramshahji) had told me, "Keep faith and everything will turn out to be all good." I remembered
these words. That night I chanted my prayers and expressed a pious wish that I had kept faith in you
only; I have taken you as my Guru, and therefore whatever is right that alone may happen, and my
truthful word should prevail. That day was 23rd November 1912. As I slept, I got a dream..........
