When Baba visited the boys' ashram the next day, he rode a bicycle for the first time in several years. The four boys were delighted watching him. After this incident, there was a decided change for the better in their behavior, and Raosaheb's heart was gladdened.
On Wednesday morning, 12 June 1929, Gadekar arrived bearing flowers and sweets with the happy news that he had passed his B.A. exam. Gadekar was sure he had failed, even though Baba had assured him he would pass. Raya and Chintaman Rao came the same morning to invite Baba to attend Dr. Sathe's wedding in Ahmednagar. Baba declined, but that same evening he went to Arangaon with the mandali to attend the wedding of Dagdoo Shinde, one of the boys formerly in the ashram school. Baba heartily embraced and kissed the lucky groom.
While Baba was taking tea at Walu Pawar's house in the village, Nusserwan and Kaka Chinchorkar arrived.
Baba was pleased to see them and praised them for helping him financially, remarking, "It is in times of such crises that great spiritual work is done. It is also a time of test."
He then discoursed about desires:
Desires are harmful both ways, when fulfilled and when not fulfilled. For instance, a person has a desire for sex. Overcome with intense longing, he has relations with someone of the opposite sex and fulfills his desire. What then? After the action, one is dejected. Why when one's desire has been fulfilled? It seems so strange, but there is nothing strange about it. For that is the eventual result of expression of his desire which brings on disappointment and dejection.
Once a desire is fulfilled, there is another desire that arises ready to be satisfied. When that desire is satisfied, another is there and so on. It is not easy to escape the clutches of one's desires. Only Perfect Masters can destroy the desires of their devotees, disciples and those on whom their grace descends.
On the 13th, when Gulmai and Adi Sr. arrived in the evening, Baba for the first time mentioned establishing a trust in the name of the Prem Ashram boys. He proposed transferring ownership of "the hill" from Adi's father Khansaheb to the trust. Adi and Gulmai tried to persuade Khansaheb, saying Baba was willing to buy the property, but Khansaheb refused. It would be seven years before Khansaheb himself agreed to gift the property to Baba.
