Baba assured her, "I will definitely go to see them. Schedule a time."
"It is so very kind of you. I am so grateful to you."
Others were surprised that Baba had agreed to go, but he explained, "The poor deserve my first consideration. When I went to Madras, influential, well-to-do and devout souls came for my darshan. But leaving them, I went out to visit the Untouchables of the locality and people gazed at me in wonder, seeing me among the lowly Harijans."
In the morning Baba had been to the Persian Consul in relation to his wish to travel to Turkey and America. He received both documents in a short time without a problem. At 2:30, he went with Meredith and Margaret Starr to visit Meredith's mother.
On their return, Baba paid a visit to Margaret and Mabel's ballet school, the Craske-Ryan Studio at 26 West Street, off Cambridge Circus. The young students stared at him, inquiring about him and remarking that Baba had a wonderful face. That night, Baba went to the film Daddy Long Legs , about an orphan and her benefactor, but Baba left the theater before it was over.
The following day, 29 September, many Londoners came to see Baba at the Davys' house; they included scientists, poets, politicians, musicians and others. Among them was a popular editor Mr. Vivian.
Baba gave his loving welcome to all and commented, "In the future, people will begin to understand things as they really are, not as they see them now."
Vivian proceeded to ask many questions which Baba answered, dictating from his alphabet board. The following is their conversation:
"We are living in great times. A great change has taken place in life and I would like to help as much as I can," Vivian said.
"Your thoughts are very noble," Baba stated. "What you say will in itself help you, even without your consciously knowing it."
"I believe that if all the nations of Europe come together to form a United States of Europe, it would be most welcome."
"It is a very good idea," Baba agreed.
"With Gandhi's arrival here, there is the likelihood that an atmosphere of unity and spirituality will prevail. What is your opinion of Mahatma Gandhi?"
"He is a very good man. He came to me on the ship and sought my counsel. I told him that after his political activities, he should seclude himself by coming to stay with me. He said he would try."
