The next day Baba contacted seven masts there.
They left for Gwalior and stayed at the Hotel de Gwalior . Here too Baba was able to contact seven masts. They returned to Jhansi, arriving at 4:30 A.M. on the 5th, and rested for the day at the Jhansi Hotel .
While Don was taking a bath, Baba dictated a poem to Chanji, which he said was for Don's birthday (which was in November actually):
Baba's Gift to Don on his Birthday today
Whether you come to one of the four places I mentioned or you are sent to Mecca, Medina, Morocco, Multan, Murree, in short, whatever happens to you, I bless your faith in me and your love for me to remain stronger than ever.
In the moonlight just you and me. When everything is bright just you and me. In darkness or in light just you and me. In wrong or in right just you and me. When devil is in flight just you and me. When God is in sight just you and me. When Truth is all might just you and me. When difficulties are slight just you and me. In corners all tight just you and me.
You being in my inner circle, everything for you is being decided by the Divine Will, and accordingly these three days stay with me will adjust things for you, in view of your future work for me.
— BABA
Baba left with the mandali by train at 4:30 P.M. on 5 April, and arrived in Aurangabad the following day.
Finishing his work in Aurangabad, Baba, with Mehera, Mani, Meheru and Margaret, returned to Pimpalgaon on Monday, 10 April 1944. Walu also joined them there. A servant named Lakshi was brought to do the cooking, and another servant named Rakhma for household work. Gustadji, Masaji (for a time), Slamson, Krishna and Venkoba Rao were the men with Baba at Pimpalgaon. Kaka, Baidul and Eruch went in search of poor families in the four towns near Poona which Baba had specified, and Adi Sr. returned to Khushru Quarters, although he would come daily to Pimpalgaon for instructions.
Baba's purifying presence in the rural atmosphere of Pimpalgaon filled the area with Wine. The hill of Gorakhnath , a famous saint of ages past, could be seen in the distance, and also nine smaller hillocks.
