Baba then returned to Margaret and Mabel's dance studio, where he watched a ballet class being taught and stayed for tea.
On this occasion, Baba remarked to Margaret, "Your dancing is mine."
In accordance with his promise to Kitty's mother Helena, Baba went with her and Margaret Craske to the home for the needy and met with the old people. As Mrs. Davy had said, many of the elderly were blind, dumb or deaf. The Master's ways are his own. Baba "spoke" to these old people for a long time, dictating messages for them on his board. What he revealed was his love. What was said was less important than the love he gave; their conversations were not in the language of words. Much is communicated in silence, but it cannot be written. Baba took form only to speak in that language, through which he conveyed all that was necessary — without ever uttering a word. His language was his own which touched the heart, and only those for whom it was meant understood what he said.
Margaret witnessed how happy Helena was and how fortunate the elderly men and women at the shelter were. These abandoned souls were in truth dependents — dependent on God's mercy. And God Himself went to see them, and their destitution was reconciled by His coming among them. Baba had comforting words for each and gave instructions to some.
To one old deaf and blind man, Baba conveyed, "At night, take a glass of warm water and as you drink it, recall the feel of my hand on yours and you will be better."
This same man was later well enough to leave his bed and return home. To one woman, Baba gave a rose petal and instructed her to keep it under her pillow.
When Baba returned to the Davys' home, he remarked to Kitty, "Of all the things I have done in the West, I have enjoyed my visit to the home for the needy the most."
Previously on 28 September 1931, Mahatma Gandhi had written Chanji: "My time is so taken up that it is impossible for me to go to Russell Road. Will Meher Baba come to [see me at] 88 Knightsbridge? If he will, please come, or telephone (Sloane 4232) and make an appointment.
"The conference work takes up most of my time. Indeed, you can say practically the whole of it, but I must see Meher Baba, if only to look at him, if he can take the trouble to come here."
