That afternoon, Baba remained in Hall No. 3 of the Water Tank (east room) with the three boys Tukaram, Ali Akbar, and Kalingad. They were permitted to sleep in the room also, with Baidul, Raosaheb, and Chhagan sharing the nightwatch.
Baba announced that he and the chosen mandali would begin their seclusion in three days on June 1st. To celebrate the "sitting in" (staying secluded), games were arranged all the next day.
On the 29th, Baba came down the hill at 7:00 A.M. and held a meeting with the mandali on the verandah of the Jhopdi. Meals being supplied by Bomanji were not satisfactory, despite him being given sufficient funds. So it was decided that all would stay on milk during Baba's seclusion. Those who were permitted meals could have bread with their milk once a day, or besan (chickpea flour dal) or chutney.
Baba visited Kaka Shahane's home in Ahmednagar for five minutes in Adi's Buick. He returned to Meherabad bringing Kaka, his son, Baban, and Jalbhai with him.
In the afternoon sweets and tea were served by Baba. Ajoba (the Christian carpenter) visited from Arangaon, along with more than a dozen Arangaon boys. Gilli-danda was then played with two teams formed with Kaka Shahane and Masaji as captains. There were 20 on each side. The game was played with much enthusiasm, and the team that Baba was on won. Afterward, kites were flown and a kite fight was fought between Baba, Beheram, Adi Sr. and Chhagan; several of the kites were destroyed in the air. Then Baba played marbles with these three and with some of the village boys.
Nusserwan arrived at dusk while the games were being played. When Baba began talking with him, the games stopped. For half an hour, all assembled around Baba to hear his comments about the present civil disobedience movement and the chaos and confusion throughout the world, particularly in India.
Baba remarked to Nusserwan, "Despite your being so greatly occupied with your political activities, you come to see me, and I am very pleased with your love."
Referring to the movement for independence in India, Baba made these prophetic and prescient comments:
This is all due to my key, of which no one has the least idea; and whatever is going to happen in the future will also be due to my key. All are equal in my eyes, whether Indians, British, Hindus or Muslims, for I am in all.
