From Indore, Gustadji's brother, Slamson, joined the group, and Baba began accepting the men's help in preparing meals. Automobiles were a rare sight in those days, so it was natural for passersby to stare at the customized bus and its passengers of every caste.
Early the next morning in Khalghat, 31 miles from Nimrani, Baba had the bus stop. Tea was prepared, after which Baba, the boys and Raosaheb went to bathe in a stream (perhaps part of the Narmada River). He instructed the other mandali to stay nearby. Within a few minutes he sent for them and, according to his wish, they each gave him a bath. Then Baba himself gave Gustadji a bath, remarking on how fortunate Gustadji was to be bathed by him.

That day was a Hindu festival, the full moon "Coconut Day," and there was a special bhajan program from nine-thirty until midnight.
Angal Pleader's brother lived in Dhulia and he and Angal (who had come from Ahmednagar) invited Baba to his home, where Baba went the following morning. Mr. Sawant, a judge in Dhulia, came for Baba's darshan with his son and poured out his dissatisfaction with life. Explaining matters to him, Baba repeated a portion of what he had said earlier about bliss (when he was in Dhulia previously), which also led to other topics:
