Avatar Meher Baba asked His followers to keep silence from midnight July 9th to midnight July 10th. Eruch Jessawalla - one of Meher Baba's close mandali- stated the following about Silence Day:
"It was Baba's order for all His lovers and applies even to this day. One can say - it was one of His few orders for posterity. In fact, there are very few orders He has left for His lovers in the world...
"If someone accidentally speaks up -- it's okay, but on realizing his mistake, he should keep silence again and be more alert. Use gestures or write on a notepad...
"All those who consider themselves Baba lovers are expected to do this."
阿瓦塔美赫巴巴在7月9日午夜至7月10日午夜前要求他的追随者保持沉默。爱瑞奇·杰萨瓦拉—— 美赫巴巴的亲密满德里之一——在沉默一天后声明如下:
“这是巴巴给他所有爱者的指令，即使直到今天。可以说，这是他留给后人的为数不多的几个指令之一。事实上，他留给世界上他的爱者的指令很少……
“如果有人不小心说了话——这没什么，但在意识到自己的错误时，他应该再次保持沉默，并更加警惕。使用手势或写在记事本上……
“所有那些认为他们是巴巴爱者的人都应该这么做。”
Jai Meher Baba
