“”Baba then asked, "How did the bullock die? Was it sick?"
"It was very strong and quite healthy," Ramaji answered. "It just suddenly fell down and died."
“”"You will never understand it. Remember not to break my orders again."
Ramaji felt deeply sorry and he wept much at Baba's feet, but Baba's embrace calmed him.
On the 5th, portions of Raosaheb's Persian book Kashful-Haqayaque were read aloud, including a passage about Shams-e-Tabriz.
“”About searching for God, Baba commented, "How can you search for something which you haven't lost?"
Upasni Maharaj's 59th birthday was celebrated on Friday, 7 June 1929. The mandali gave Baba a bath in the morning. He was then taken in procession to Arangaon on a palanquin which was attached to a tonga driven by the mandali. Bhajan singing was held and a feast served. Many came that day for darshan, including Chanji's brother Naoroji and Kaka Baria, Banubai and Manekji. The program lasted long past midnight.
The women mandali staying in Nasik were feeling the pangs of separation. They were looking forward to Baba's arrival from Quetta, but he had gone on to Meherabad to be with the four Prem Ashram boys. Although since his return Baba had kept the boys aloof from him, he decided to set up a special section just for them. It was established on 8 June, and Chhagan was appointed their watchman.
“”By this time, Raosaheb was fed up with the boys' behavior, but Baba kept him as manager of the new Prem Ashram, remarking, "These youngsters are testing your patience. They are doing you much good, but you cannot understand it. The best boys become the worst."
After these arrangements were made, Baba left on Sunday, 9 June 1929 to visit the women mandali in Nasik. Chanji, Buasaheb, Kaikhushru Masa and Soonamasi accompanied him. Welcoming him back with happy smiles, Mehera, Naja, and Khorshed hung a garland of flowers they had woven around Baba's neck. In his absence, the women would pass their spare time preparing adornments for Baba and on his arrival they would dress him in them. At times they would make a crown, a gown or a robe, and elaborate garlands. All these items were drenched with a Wine of a vintage none can record. The unequaled quality of their love and adoration cannot be described in words.
