Allan Cohen and others also had pressing questions and they wrote to Meher Baba. In response, on 14 July 1966, Baba clarified his statements through Adi:

(1) Baba did say that the user of LSD could never reach subtle consciousness in this incarnation despite its repeated use, unless the person surrendered to a Perfect Master. To experience real, spiritual consciousness, surrenderance to a Perfect Master is necessary.

(2) The experiences gained through LSD are, in some cases, experiences of the shadows of the subtle plane in the gross world. These experiences have nothing at all to do with spiritual advancement.

(3) Beloved Baba stresses that repeated use of LSD leads to insanity which may prove incurable in mental cases, even with LSD treatment.

(4) Medical use of LSD helps to cure, in some cases, mental disorders and madness.

(5) There is no such thing as "areas in the brain reserved for subtle consciousness," and the question of LSD affecting them has no meaning.

(6) When LSD is used for genuine medical purposes, in controlled doses under the supervision of specialists, there are no chances of the brain, liver or kidney being damaged.

(7) Baba answered again that continued LSD use for non-medical purposes results in madness, and eventually death.

On Saturday, 23 July 1966, Baba dictated points for a letter to Richard Alpert, which Francis drafted and Adi mailed with his signature. Baba again wished Alpert to understand the futility and harm of taking LSD as a means of spiritual advancement, and the need of a Perfect Master for realizing Reality.

Jerbai, her daughters and Jangle's wife and daughter, Mukta and Prabha, were called to Meherazad that day. Don too was summoned, and Sarosh and Viloo also visited.

During this period, Baba would often call Rama, Sheela and Mehernath Kalchuri to Meherazad on Sundays for lunch. Adi brought them on Sunday, 31 July. Sheela and Rama would eat with Baba and the women, and Mehernath with the men. Mehera was embarrassed about using both hands to eat chapatis (since most people in India do not use their left hand while eating). She asked Rama, "Do you mind if I use both hands to break my chapati?"

Rama was wondering how to reply when Sheela spoke up, "If the flour is kneaded with two hands, what harm is there in eating the chapati with both hands? With one hand you cannot clap — it takes two hands — so it is all right."
