1925 | Meher Baba begins writing a book by hand in Meherabad, India and completes it in 1926. He shows it to no-one, except for showing several pages to Mahatma Gandhi aboard the SS Rajputana in 1931. |
1958 | The book is determined by Meher Baba's disciples to be missing. |
1969 | Shortly before his death in January 1969, Baba indicates to a disciple that the book written in 1925-1926 is "in good hands." |
1969 | Two notebooks containing 250 pages in a handwriting other than Meher Baba's are discovered in a storage room in Meher Baba's home in India shortly after his death. Nothing is done with them, but they are kept. |
1998 | 39 pages in Meher Baba's own handwriting determined to be written between 1925-1926 are discovered in India. In 2000 they are published as In God's Hand by Sheriar Press. |
2002 | It is discovered that the notebooks found in 1969 contain a duplicate of the 39 pages published in In God's Hand. |
2007 | The notebooks found in 1969 are published as Infinite Intelligence by Sheriar Press. Meher Baba's name is given as the author. It is uncertain whether the work is the same as the missing book, so the original handwritten book from 1925-1926 continues to be considered missing. |
