Ramjoo came to see Baba in Ajmer on Friday, 13 June 1941. Baba sent him back to Nasik after two days. There had been a letter from Ghani in Bangalore, also, detailing his difficulties there. Baba responded through Vishnu on the 14th:
“”You always picture yourself as the downtrodden, unfavourite, forlorn and forgotten lover of Baba. But the real state of affairs is quite the opposite. Baba knows, the world knows — at least the mandali's world knows — that you are Baba's favourite disciple — his childhood friend and his lifelong companion. Your wit and humour touch his sense of humour as no one else's. You are to him, what Chiko [Chicot] the Jester was to King Louis [Henry] of France. [Chicot] not only made the king laugh and forget his worries, but also fought his greatest fights for the king. Are you not fighting for Baba's cause through the Journal ?
...Baba sends his love, in the hope that you prove worthy of it by lifting up your face to the sky and saying:
"I am Baba's man — I am Baba's friend,
I must never ask — I must always lend.
I must always rise — I must never bend,
I must never call — I must always send."
Baba left on another mast trip on 14 June. This time he went with Gustadji, Baidul and Savak. They went to Rewari by train and contacted a young seeker called Pathan . Also in Rewari, Baba communed with a very high mast of the sixth plane called Wali Baba . This jamali saint lived in the head railway ticket collector's house, near the train station, and Baba bought him a new mattress.
From there, Baba proceeded to Khairtal by train and from that town to the village of Ismailpur by bullock cart. It was dark by then, and the dirt road was bumpy and full of mud due to rain which was still falling. Baba worked with the saint Gokhale Baba in Ismailpur (with whom he had worked the previous January), and returned to Khairtal in the heavy downpour. All got drenched and their bedrolls were soaked. The bullock cart was going very slowly on account of the mud, and at places they had to get down and push it, and then somehow clean their feet before retaking their seats. It was the middle of the night by the time they returned to Khairtal. All their belongings were wringing wet and they had no change of clothes.
In that condition, they traveled by train to Nimuch, where Baba contacted three masts. One was Qabristanwala, whose abode was in a cemetery. Another was Ruiwala, who wandered all over the town with no apparent purpose. A good mast there was Samshanwala Sadhu , a thin old man who lived in a room among the cremation grounds, and repeated the names of God day and night.
Baba left Nimuch for Chittorgarh, where he also worked with a good mast called Paniwala , who sat in a street offering water (pani) to those passing by.
They returned to Ajmer on the morning of 17 June. It was observed that Baba's hectic travels in 1941 seemed to quicken world events also. Five days after Baba returned, Germany's army invaded Russia and headed toward Moscow.
Pendu came to see Baba in Ajmer on the 26th, to discuss finances with him, because he was in charge of Meherabad and was distributing money to individual mandali for their clothing allowance and other expenditures. Pendu returned to Meherabad on 30 June.
“”During this time, while conversing with the women, Baba once remarked to them, "Die your death, and live my life!"
