The few [saliks and majzoobs] that keep their body [after liberation] have no care for the world. However, those who come in their contact are greatly benefited by their darshan, touch, and service, for they are God-personified though they don't even know it, being only conscious of their higher Self.
Sadgurus sometimes take the help of walis [majzoobs] in their work by bringing them down to the "resting point." They then experience the sufferings of a Sadguru and not of a majzoob. These majzoobs at times quite unconsciously abuse the Sadguru if they happen to meet him. One majzoob is expected to come in Madras and I may bring him onto the resting point.
Annasaheb Kale, Kalemama's brother, was among those new devotees who had come to Nasik for Meher Baba's birthday. During darshan, he invited Baba to visit his house in Kolhapur. Many others from South India also invited Baba to come to their homes. Baba was considering their requests since he wanted to go on tour.
During the birthday, people would gather around Baba and place their difficulties before him — worldly, political, and otherwise.
He became so fed up with their problems and worries that after the visitors departed on Thursday, 20 February 1930, he complained to the mandali, "What harassment these people cause me. All weep for themselves! Not one has any thought about me or my suffering. Every one of them lays his own woes before me and thinks only of himself."
Baba then asked, "Is there anything wrong if I cancel the visit to Kolhapur?"
Chanji answered on behalf of the mandali, "It doesn't matter to us, but it will not be good for you. It is all the same to us whether you go or don't go. But if you cancel your visit, your lovers will be pained, and this will cause you to feel sad also." Baba accepted this reasoning, and a journey to South India was scheduled.
On the 21st, Baba took the boys for an evening ride to a temple on a nearby hill. When they got down from the bus, Baba said he would present the first boy to reach the top of the hill with a pocket-watch. With shouts of glee, the boys scampered off and raced to the top. Baba enjoyed the spectacle.
For the journey to Kolhapur, a new twelve-ton bus and driver Rambhau Allayar were hired for Baba and others.
