A similar incident occurred the next day with Baba's mother. Baba intervened on Memo's behalf and introduced Alamai to her.
During his brief stay in Bombay, Baba visited the Wellingtons (the couple whom he had met in May). Baba explained to them:
One should be free from birth and death. But being entrapped in this wheel, one goes round and round and always suffers. It is quite easy to extricate oneself from the rounds of birth and death, but because it is so easy, it becomes so difficult!
Once you firmly decide not to be engulfed in maya, you can disentangle yourself once and for all. But this requires a Sadguru's grace and, for that, you must be worthy.
The Wellingtons (and Jamshed Desai) met Baba again at 10:30 A.M. on the 17th at Naoroji Dadachanji's home during a small darshan program. The Dadachanjis were now residing upstairs in Boman Lodge on Vincent Road, near Khodadad Circle in Dadar. This time, Baba allowed new people in Bombay to come to him. One such contact was Dr. Alu Shapurji Khambatta, 32. Alu was running the Florence Maternity Home, a modest facility on the ground floor of the building where the Dadachanjis resided. When Baba passed in and out of the Dadachanjis' home, Alu caught only a glimpse of him in his flowing sadra and mistakenly thought him to be an Arab diamond merchant. When Bachamai finally told Alu about Baba and asked if she would like to meet him, Alu said that she would.
But on the day when Baba came, he instructed Bachamai, "Don't send word down. On my way out, I will see her."
When Baba went to Alu's hospital, it was unexpected, and she was dazzled by his beauty and overcome by emotion. Baba was so attractive and magnetic she could not speak or salute him. Chanji was present and finally offered Baba a chair and brought one for Alu.
Baba then gestured, "Ask me some questions. Ask me something."
All of a sudden Alu blurted out that she wanted to go to England! The thought of traveling abroad had never occurred to her before that moment.
Baba replied, "Not now. I will send you later. Ask me a second question."
Alu was quiet.
Then Baba spelled out, "I do not speak, but you must speak!"
With difficulty Alu explained that an alarming number of children were dying of a diarrhea epidemic, and she would be very happy if it stopped.
"Show me your hospital," Baba dictated.
He was taken from room to room. One room was filled with Parsis who were adamantly against him, and Baba did not step inside.
After the tour, Baba spelled out, "No child will die."
True to his words, none of the children in Dr. Alu's hospital expired.
