Since there were many passengers waiting at the station, he went on to Borivli, where there was less chance of him being recognized, and he boarded a train from there.
A week later, at the conclusion of his mast work, Baba returned to Meherabad on 17 April. Baba remained there for two days, discussing the upcoming meeting, and then left on the 20th to visit Mehera and Mani in Bhilar.
The women's bungalow in Bhilar was surrounded by tall grass on all sides. Walu would cut it and burn it to prevent snakes from coming near. One day, when she was doing this, a violent whirlwind began blowing and the grass caught fire. Walu was trapped and shouted Baba's name. The women came running and extinguished the fire. Despite being in the midst of the blaze, Walu was unharmed, due to Baba's nazar.
Another day, in the dry summer weather while Baba was away, the forest in Bhilar caught fire, and the force of the wind brought it near their bungalow. Krishna and Venkoba Rao were trying to put out the fire, but it was of little use against the strength with which the fire was raging nearby. Rano, Margaret and Kitty tied scarves around their mouths and joined the effort, beating back the flames with green tree branches. It was no use. The fire was reaching such proportions that the whole bungalow was about to be razed to the ground. All began calling to Baba for help, and, miraculously, the winds suddenly subsided, and the women and Krishna and Venkoba managed to contain the flames.
After Baba arrived and was informed about the incident, he asked Krishna, "Did you get burned?"
"Not much," he said. "A little here and there."
Baba remarked to him, "Had you gotten burned I would have felt happy."
Kitty was supervising the kitchen and had Baba's order not to let any food go to waste. She was daily ordering fresh bread from the market, but each day some would be left over. One day Kitty collected the stale bread and made bread pudding. No one liked the dish, so there was a lot left over. She wondered what she should do with it. Baba's order was not to waste anything, so she could not throw it away. Failing to find a solution, Kitty sat down and consumed the dish herself in four hours, thus carrying out her Master's wish.
