He should not go out of the compound [at Rahuri] under any circumstances.
He should not ask for money except for Baba's work.
This agreement begins from the 1st of April 1937 and ends on the 31st of March 1938. On 31 March, Baba promises to give Ghani the two things he wants, clairvoyance and clairaudience, and will send him to Japan as Professor Ughansi, and also make him so advanced spiritually as to do Baba's work over there until Ghani is Realized.
Jalbhai then mentioned this point, "We are all well aware of the good doctor's penchant for fine food. Suppose he dies within this period. Who will pay his funeral expenses?"
So Baba directed Ghani to beg one rupee from everyone, obtaining Rs.40.
Baba handed the sum to Dhake with instructions, "If Ghani dies on 27 April, use this Rs.40 to pay for his last rites."
The odd agreement was signed the next day by both Baba and Ghani before the mandali.
Ghani began fasting on milk from the 1st of April, but within two days he started complaining, "Baba, it is too hard to drink only milk. My sweat smells of milk, my breath smells of milk and I am even urinating milk!"
"It's only for a year!" Baba replied. "Think of how much you will earn after that — and that will help me also! Have a little patience and complete the fast."
Just two days after this, Ghani felt so weak he was unable to get out of bed. He entreated Baba, "This agreement will be the death of me! Forgive me and let me take food."
But Baba replied, "Remember your part of the bargain. You signed the agreement before witnesses. I promise to stick to my end. Exactly after one year I will give you the powers you want. But if you break your promise, don't blame me!"
"But I will die!" moaned Ghani.
"I have a solution so you won't," proposed Baba.
Calling Dhake, Baba sent him to Ahmednagar with instructions to have a funeral bier built and to bring it to Rahuri as soon as it was ready. Dhake did so, bringing the coffin platform after a week or so.
At 3:00 P.M. on the afternoon of 20 April, Baba dressed Ghani in a kafni made of old gunny sacks and put a turban made of straw on his head. He then asked him to recite lines from the Fatiha — the Islamic oblation for the dead.
