The men would often be directed to travel long distances in search of boys, but when they were brought, Baba would inevitably keep the boys for only a day or two and then send them back.
During November 1929, Baba went to the Pandu Lena Caves several times and once visited Gangapur Falls. On Saturday, 30 November, Kalemama came to Nasik with his wife Janki and his elder brother Krishna Rao "Annasaheb" Kale. Baba personally looked after them and ordered the best arrangements for their stay, for these three individuals were soon to become permanent members of his mandali.
From the day Baba settled in Nasik, people kept coming to him for darshan and there were occasional bhajan programs. Sidhu, Jalbhai and Adi Sr. would also sing ghazals to entertain the Beloved. Baba remained occupied with different individuals' problems and in explaining spiritual matters.
On Sunday evening 1 December, Baba went for a drive and suggested stopping at the Nasik railway station.
A ticket collector, who happened to know Baba, saw him strolling on the platform. He informed the stationmaster, who had heard of the Master through Vibhuti and immediately came out to welcome Baba. After taking darshan, the stationmaster hastily arranged a reception. The first–class waiting room was made available and chairs were brought, but Baba remained seated on an empty wooden crate on the railway platform. Tea was served and the entire staff took darshan. Baba gave his blessing to the stationmaster, who said, "Baba, I have been continuously thinking of you and longing for your darshan."
Baba replied, "That is why I happened to come here today so abruptly."
On Saturday, 7 December 1929, Baba and the mandali visited Bombay. Facilities for darshan were arranged and many of his followers took advantage of the opportunity to see Baba. Kaikobad Dastur, Kaka Baria and the Dadachanji family were among those who came. After three days in Bombay, Baba returned to Nasik.
On 10 December, Baba explained about the work of the Perfect Masters:
Good and bad thoughts, feelings, words and actions are all due to the working of the mind. If the mind vanishes, one realizes the highest Self.
Just as they are the givers of light, Sadgurus are also the givers of thoughts. Not only can they predict certain actions, but they can tell what will happen years into the future, even before it is created in the mind of an individual — for they are one with the Universal Mind which gives light, thoughts and everything.
