Baba was not happy about this and remarked, "This will always be a blemish on my heart."
At the time, Eruch did not understand Baba's comment. But eighteen years later, after the automobile accident in 1956 in Satara in which Eruch was driving, Eruch recalled Baba's words and thought that the accident related in some way to his not obeying Baba in 1938.
Shortly before coming to Baba, Eruch had two significant dreams. One night he dreamed that Baba had come to his house and began moving about freely.
He told Eruch, "Stop everything and come!"
Baba made Pappa and Gaimai stand before him. He gave two children into their custody and started to leave. Eruch said quickly, "There is a lot of milk in the house; it will spoil."
Baba spoke in the dream, "Throw it away in the gutter and after cleaning the pot, come to me!"
Sometime later, Eruch had another dream. He was driving a car with Baba by his side. Baba was elbowing him, urging him to drive faster. He accelerated, but still Baba wanted him to drive faster. A sea loomed large in front of them and Baba told him to drive into it! In the water, Baba still insisted that Eruch drive faster, which he did. Eruch was sweating profusely and, after driving very, very far, he saw a white building before him. Baba signaled to park by the side of the building, and with much difficulty he did. But the car got trapped in the sand. Here his dream ended.
The strange dreams stayed with Eruch for many days and helped him maintain his resolve that since he had come, he would stay with Baba permanently.
On 3 August 1938, Sampath Aiyangar came again from Madras to see Baba. He left the following evening. Rustom had brought Freiny from Nasik and kept her in Upasni Maharaj's room at Khushru Quarters. Baba saw her on the 3rd on his way back to the P.W.D. and told Rustom to take her back to Nasik, at least for a month.
On the 6th, Baba went on a picnic with the women. The next day, Sarosh arranged a special showing at 10:00 A.M. at Sarosh Cinema of Mad About Music , a light musical comedy, which Baba liked very much.
About weaknesses, Baba explained to women:
Those devotees who have similar weaknesses, similar self-seeking, apparently love each other and apparently do not love the others.
