THE DEER

Later on, talking of times on Meherabad Hill in the 1930's, Mehera remembered the occasion when Baba had a small deer brought into the East Room and called her to pat it. Its horns were just showing through, and it was very young and sweet-looking. But when Naja came into the room it began to butt her. When she moved away it followed, slipping on the stone floor, still trying to butt her! Mehera said it was very funny to watch, and that Baba laughed, enjoying the scene.
