Whatever physical ailments you see are due to the sanskaras taken on from the world at large, for whose benefit and welfare I work.
It is similar in the case of the other Sadgurus. Upasni Maharaj has piles; Sai Baba regularly had high fevers. I have stomach trouble, dysentery, blisters and these boils.
On Thursday, 7 August 1930, when Ghani was visiting, Baba made these comments on "future developments":
"Chaos will break out everywhere within the next four months. There will be a terrible tussle between the Hindus and Mohammedans. Non-violence will turn into violence of a terrible sort, resulting in bloodshed throughout the country."
Meanwhile, news came that Baidul, Mehrabanpur, and Aga Ali were being detained at the frontier and prevented from entering India without passports. On 1 August, Baba sent this telegram to Rusi at Quetta to do all he could to help:
"Exert all your influence. Boy's presence here most essential. Consider this my greatest service. Leave nothing undone to help them come here."
Rusi sent a telegram back the following day that the group had been allowed to enter India. Baba cabled back on the 3rd:
"Pleased you have done such a great service to me about which you have no idea and for which you have my special blessing."
On 16 August 1930, Baidul arrived in Nasik with Aga Ali and Mehrabanpur. Baba was very, very happy to have Ali back with him, and the boy was moved to tears in Baba's embrace. Ali had been away ten months.
Wishing a change, on Wednesday, 20 August 1930 Baba left Nasik for a visit to Calcutta with Jalbhai, Raosaheb, Karim, and Aga Ali. Meanwhile, Minoo Pohowala had arranged for the men mandali's stay in Bijapur, and all 22 of them, including those still fasting, left Nasik for Bijapur on 21 August. The mandali were instructed by Baba to remain there until the end of October. Buasaheb and Chhagan were still in Panchgani, where Buasaheb had been in seclusion in Baba's cave in Tiger Valley since 21 June.
Baba remained in Calcutta for three days. During this short stay, Baba took Aga Ali all over the city — to the zoo, museum and Croft Market and showed him other sights of interest. While in Calcutta, Raosaheb was quite exhausted from arranging all this sightseeing and was also recovering from their recent trip to Kashmir, where Baba had contacted Pandit.
