Baba left Lahore the next day, going by car to visit the Golden Temple at Amritsar with Mehera, Mani, Meheru and Kitty. Chanji and Baidul accompanied them — the former to handle travel arrangements and the latter to help Baba in his mast work, which he wished to do along the way.
They then boarded a train for Delhi, arriving the next morning. Baba spent a few hours at Keki Desai's home on Nicholson Road, and also went to the Qutub Minar before continuing his journey at 4:00 P.M. on the Delhi Express. The first group arrived in Meherabad on the 22nd, and Baba's party arrived seven days later, on the 29th, after stopping in Udaipur for three days.
The Pimpalgaon rest house, later named Meherazad , had been bought in an auction in 1940. Upon returning to Meherabad, Baba went to see it on Tuesday, 30 November 1943 in Sarosh's car with Sarosh, Adi Sr., Kalemama, Padri and Pendu.
Baba sent Masaji, Gustadji and Slamson (Gustadji's brother) to live there.
Baba informed the women, "For my work, I have to reside in Pimpalgaon with Mehera, Mani, Meheru, Margaret and Walu. To help in the work, the rest of you continue staying in Meherabad."
Addressing Mansari, he spelled out, "I will be very happy if you remain on Meherabad Hill."
Mansari began crying and said, "I have come to stay with you, Baba. How could I remain away?"
Baba told her, "If you want to stay with me, you will have to stay according to my pleasure. If you cannot do that, then you will not be with me, although you may be with me physically. If you keep my pleasure by remaining at a distance, then you will truly be with me forever!"
Mansari wept bitterly, and Baba sharply stated, "You are mad! I am not keeping you away from me. Even if you wanted to be away from me, I would not allow it."
Baba took the women to a morning matinee at Sarosh Cinema on 3 December 1943. He took them to another film a week later on the 10th at Chitra Talkies.
In December 1943, an Irani came to Meherabad and wanted to place Rs.500 at Baba's feet.
Baba did not accept the money, but the man entreated him again; so Baba motioned to him to give it to Eruch, remarking, "You [Eruch] must hand over this amount to a family who is very poor, but who cannot beg. You will come to know the whereabouts of such a family in a natural way."
