The cage was opened and the little monkey scampered straight for Baba and jumped on his arm! Baba forthwith gave him the appropriate appellation — Lucky.
After his return to Meherabad, Baba continued his inner work with Mohammed and the other masts who had been brought from Rahuri to abide at the Mess Quarters of lower Meherabad. A few of the mandali looked after the masts, but Baba alone would cut their hair, shave, bathe and feed them. He would also spend time with each mast separately in a closed room, and while he was engaged in this inner work, no one was permitted to go near the vicinity of the Mess Quarters.
At the end of May 1939, Baba had sent Kaka Baria and Savak's brother Soli Kotwal to bring the sixth-plane mast Lakhan Shah from Ajmer. It was very difficult and required much persuasion to bring masts to Baba, as they would never like to leave their abode, nor would their followers and devotees be happy to see strangers taking away their personal devas [gods]. But due to the Master's nazar, Kaka and Soli succeeded in bringing this saint-mast to Meherabad on Friday, 2 June. As soon as Lakhan Shah arrived, Baba embraced him lovingly. Baba promptly gave him a bath, dressed him in a new kafni and, after feeding him by hand, put him in a separate room. For the next fifteen days, Baba sat with Lakhan Shah in seclusion for inner work, for a fixed time each day. After this period, he was taken back to Ajmer by Kaka.
On one occasion, Baba went to the mast ashram unexpectedly, accompanied by the men mandali. The caretakers were taken by surprise at his sudden arrival, but the masts and mad had been waiting for him. They were beating a mysterious rhythm on their metal plates, tin cups and cans, as if they were musical instruments, and loudly singing, " Jai, Jai Gururaya, Meher Baba [Hail, hail Beloved Lord, Meher Baba]!"
Age watched delightedly as these lovers of God serenaded their Lord. "These God-intoxicated souls, who have transcended their forms, are the true men of God, without the least gross consciousness of eating, drinking, their dress or anything else to do with the human body. Although they have lost contact with the world, their bodies responded to the blissful enchantment that they experienced in Beloved Baba's presence, and they became absorbed in their song for their beloved Friend!"
