Biharilal agreed and accordingly left that same day to meet Babajan.
Kalemama and Dhake were permitted to see Baba on 20 June. Buasaheb was sent to Nasik that night to help deal with Kaikhushru Masa's family matters. Vishnu resumed his duties as Baba's orderly from the 21st, after being in Nagar for a few days on personal work. Chanji had filled in for him in his absence. On 22 June Buasaheb returned with Dolly and Masaji. Baba instructed Dolly to move back to Khushru Quarters and stay with her mother Gulmai, but she was permitted to visit Baba at Meherabad whenever her brother Adi Sr. came. Masaji was ordered to return to Nasik immediately.
During a discussion with the mandali about overcoming lust that day, Baba narrated the following allegory:
There was once a fight between Energy and Lust; Energy was defeated, so Mind stepped into the ring. A terrible fight took place between Mind and Lust. Mind was not so easy to defeat, but in the end, Lust won again.
Then Soul challenged Lust to a fight to the finish. The result of their match was that Lust was defeated so completely, it never rose up again to challenge Soul to a rematch.
Soon after Baba's return from Quetta at the end of May, he began keeping aloof from the boys, especially Aga Ali, and he would not allow them to join him up the hill or for walks. This upset them, and as a result, they would not obey Raosaheb. However, Baba's physical aloofness was meant to enhance the boys' close inner contact with him. Through this separation, they would learn to follow the Beloved's wishes and prove worthy of his love.
Baba commented on 22 June, "Divine love is absolutely strange! Beatings are given, as well as affection shown. The way to the Path is totally different. Effulgence is there, but also 'fire.' Indifference from the Master devastates, but beatings from him act like a magnet!"
A few weeks passed and Baba stopped seeing the boys or calling them to him. This caused unprecedented anguish in them. On 17 June, although it was against strict orders to do so, Ali Akbar quietly went and stood weeping by the crypt-cabin. Baba came out, and embraced and kissed him. Ali Akbar pleaded for Baba's permission to be in his presence. Thereafter, Baba allowed him to come for two hours daily for ten days — but on the condition that Ali keep it a secret.
