During his stay in Nagpur, Baba frequently sent Kaka to the railway station to bring any telegrams that might have been received for him, presumably expecting one from Navsari regarding Sorabji. Baba was thus remembering the dear old man in his dying moments, and thereby enabling him to drink Wine. Minoo and Bapai's wedding was performed in Navsari on the 27th. The couple then went to Sorabji for his blessings, which he gave. Twenty minutes later, he had a vision and saw Baba in a glorious form standing before him; then he merged with his vision! Baba had kept Sorabji alive for this wedding, and as soon as it was over, he drowned him in his ocean of love and infinitude!
Baba received news of Sorabji's passing the next day.
As the telegram was being read out, Baba happily remarked, "Isn't that good? Well done!" as if congratulating himself.
He had this message sent to the family: "Sorabji has come to me and is happy."
As mentioned, Soma Desai was an eminent figure in Gujarati literature. He was the author of 100 books and a noteworthy contributor of articles and essays on spirituality to journals, newspapers and periodicals.
Later that day, Baba visited the Theosophical Society and also an institute for blind boys.
To the Theosophists gathered, Baba stated, "I give my blessings to you so that you may long more and more to finally realize the Truth through experience."
Baba granted more interviews later that morning and at three o'clock went to the home of a wealthy merchant. The reception there was unusually solemn and restrained. Baba sat next to the host for just a few minutes and then left. Afterward, Norina questioned him as to why he had gone there.
Baba answered in a matter-of-fact manner, "The man is seriously ill. I went there to help him."
Jal Kerawalla and Eruch both received much personal attention in Nagpur, which kept them always drawn toward Baba. Jal was intoxicated with the Wine of Baba's love, and he dedicated himself fully to the Master. His drunkenness made him work hard in the Beloved's cause, and he was to prove most useful for Baba's work in times to come.
Eruch's plans were to study engineering in Benares, but the Master had his own plans for him.
