I know you will let nothing stand between the love you have all formed.
Anyway, I want you all, my own gopis and the dearest ones, to remember all I have told you individually and try your very best to act accordingly; not to feel sad, morose or despondent, but to keep always cheerful and happy, doing your duties and facing everything that comes calmly and patiently. And rest assured, I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU, helping you in your efforts to face things, to do my work and to be happy.
Hence, remembering always that I want the picture produced, get busy and don't ever slacken in spirit. I am behind all your earnest efforts of bringing this out.
You know, beloveds, how I love you, and I know how deeply you darlings love me, and how keenly you feel the separation and suffer all for your beloved Baba.
I shall keep in touch with you all, even during the retirement, and want you to keep in touch too and write as usual.
Baba departed Bombay at 9:30 P.M. on the Frontier Mail train with Chanji and Gustadji. None of his lovers was permitted to come to the station. Raosaheb (who was characterized by Chanji as having a very strong physique and constitution, and capable of withstanding the rough conditions of being with Baba for one year of seclusion in the Himalayas) had already left for Baroda. Rustom, Ramjoo and Adi Sr. left for Nasik the next day. Although Baba's destination was kept strictly secret from his lovers, he indicated to them that he was going "somewhere in the Himalayas." In actuality, Baba was on his way to Mount Abu.
Traveling through the night in the lowest class, Baba and the mandali had a restless, sleepless night, crammed into a crowded compartment of passengers "snoring with loud and horrible noises that would make the dead awake from their graves!" Chanji noted. They had to change trains in Ratlam for Chittorgarh to continue to Udaipur, where they stayed at the Fatah Memorial Serai (first floor, room no. 3). Although the weather was still quite hot, a search was made for a secluded spot with water nearby. But when no such place was found, they proceeded to Ajmer by train, arriving on Sunday, 9 June 1935.
In Ajmer, Baba went by taxi to the tomb of the Qutub Khwaja Mu'inuddin Chishti to pay his respects. He went inside while the mandali remained in the car.
