WITH A YELLOW FACE

 
One afternoon in Quetta Baba sent for us all in a very pressing manner and spelled out on His board, "Tomorrow morning I need one of you to fall ill with jaundice or pneumonia. Take it bravely, it is for My work."

Everyone left. We acknowledged the strange decree and tried to smile. The next morning Norina rushed out of her cabin to Baba, presenting herself with a yellow face. He smiled and said, "Don't worry." And He gave her directions on what to do to get well.

It was His typical way to bring to an acute turning point some good or bad situation, personal or universal. These turnovers with Baba always meant a spiritual push in some dimension.

A few days later Baba called Norina to be ready to start on a lecture tour!
