It was during this period that he established contact with his first close group of Western disciples.[33] He traveled on a Persian passport, as he had given up writing, as well as speaking, and would not sign the forms required by the British government of India.[34]Here, he attracted more followers.[33] Throughout most of the 1940s, Meher Baba worked with a category of spiritual aspirants called masts,[35] who he said are entranced or spellbound by internal spiritual experiences. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5236.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5236.txt
