Baba spelled out, "Never disrespect the word of a Buzurg and never break a promise once you have given it. Now stop worrying; drive back to Baam carefully and return with another bus." The driver was doubtful the bus would make it to Baam, but Baba assured him, "Don't be anxious. I will see that it arrives safely."
Baba directed Raosaheb to take the Persian boy back home and they traveled with Hafizji.
The headman of the village of Fahrej was greatly drawn to Baba. He declared to his townspeople, "I have been in the service of fakirs, lords and nobles, but I have never come across such noor [light] as I find in Meher Baba's face!"
Meanwhile, Hafizji followed Baba's advice and safely reached Baam. He immediately sent another bus (a six-cylinder Chevrolet) with Raosaheb, but did not come back with it stating he felt too exhausted and shaken to drive. What trouble Baba had to undergo to teach this man a lesson! The Master spent two days in an isolated desert village where there was little to eat and thieves were rampant. But Hafizji was meant to be blessed and learned a lesson he was never to forget.
When the other bus arrived, Baba and the group left Fahrej on Monday, 4 November 1929. Three guides were taken with them to show the way. The heavily loaded bus had much difficulty in covering the sandy tract; the tires would sink into the sand, and the mandali had to get down and help push. Traveling was extremely slow; in one hour, they were able to cover only four miles. After crossing a desert region, they faced mountain roads with dangerous hairpin curves. On occasion, Baba himself would get out and walk down the steep ghats with the men, as the bus slowly descended.
Still quite some distance from Duzdab, night had fallen; it was late and the driver suspected he had missed the way. He wanted to stop, but Baba assured him that he was on the right road and pointed out the direction to follow. On one occasion, the driver was adamant and said that he was not going farther. The mandali tried to persuade him to drive on, but he refused. Baba got out of the bus, displeased with the man's attitude. After a few tense minutes, the driver agreed to proceed, but disavowed any responsibility. After driving a short distance, the driver was surprised to see lights ahead and wondered what town he was approaching.
