After Baba contacted the wali, Mirak Shah sent for Habibullah and, pointing to Baba, told Habibullah, "You wanted a job. Now remain in this man's service. He will pay you Rs.100 per month."
Through Baidul, Baba said, "You will get Rs.150 per month!"
This was an extravagant wage for a servant then.
Habibullah was happy and returned with Baba to Srinagar, taking him to be a wealthy, important gentleman from Bombay. Habibullah liked to be in the company of masts. Baba and the mandali talked with him and told him that his job would be to draw up a list of different masts in the area and act as their guide during their stay. Habibullah did not quite understand how he was to go about making such a list, so he went again to Mirak Shah, and with the wali's help, he began preparing one.
Mirak Shah also wrote to Baba, pouring out his heart to him. In his letter, he wrote, "You are God and I want to come and live with you. Pray grant me my request."
Baba's journey to Kashmir seemed to have a decisive effect on the war. The American forces were now sweeping across Europe, and on 23 August 1944, Paris was liberated by the advancing Allies. General de Gaulle took command of Paris two days later.
On the 24th, Mehera, Mani, Meheru and Rano were to be shifted to Bhagat Villa in Nishat. Before proceeding to Nishat, Baba instructed Krishna to follow in the truck with their luggage and not to come by bicycle. But after they had loaded everything in the truck, there was no room for the bicycle, so Krishna cycled to Nishat and Vishnu rode in the truck.
When they arrived, Baba scolded Krishna, "Why did you fail to carry out my order? I told you not to ride your bicycle."
"There was no room in the truck for the bicycle. The driver refused to take it and I ..." Krishna pleaded.
"You should have thrown the bicycle away!" Baba interrupted. "Do you value a bicycle more than my words? Is your bicycle greater than my orders? Why don't you obey me?"
Then Baba spelled out, "If Chanji comes, you will have to go."
