They reached the town of Dera Ghazi Khan at 10:30 and filled the tanks with gas. In the meantime, Baba went with Elizabeth to the post office to send a telegram to America. On the drive there, the Buick got stuck in a stretch of mud and had to be pulled out with another car and ten people pushing.
The local folk of Dera Ghazi Khan warned them about the dangers of traveling to Quetta by this route. The people said that even the military were hesitant to travel by this road because of bandits, and that route was taken only with the greatest precaution. Baba was determined, however, and they drove on toward the mountains.
It continued to rain throughout the day as they proceeded toward Khar along the narrow, tortuous roads which wound up the steep mountain and around sharp curves. The area was so desolate and wild, there was actually no sign of human life along the entire drive. At two places the car and bus got stuck in the mud and were freed only when everyone got out and pushed. They reached the town of Khar at five in the evening and settled in at the dak bungalow on top of a mountain for two days.
At Khar, Baba dictated a continuation of his last circulated message given in Jaipur. He stated:
I will speak on the 1st of August 1941 the Divine Word to myself and in myself, the word of the will of God that will begin the resurrection of the dead world and start the general adjustment of the world.
This speaking-to-myself operation will continue until the 15th of February 1942, the day that I will publicly and universally speak, the day that my world manifestation will come to full expression, the day that the six months self-speaking operation will bring out the unfoldment of the spiritual revival, and the day that the disciples of my circle will realize the Truth.
My present seclusion will continue until April 15th, but from April 15, 1941 to February 15, 1942, my seclusion will be more absolute.
The group left Khar on the 10th, at 7:20 A.M. for Loralai, a distance of over 130 miles. The whole way was through mountain passes and was the most dangerous part of the journey. Ten miles away, they stopped at Rakhni to pick up hired military escorts. Baba and the women were entertained with a small horserace, and Baba rewarded the winner with five rupees.
