And in that bewildered and dazed state, filled with ecstasy, Kishan Singh totally forgot all the previous instructions and laid himself face down on the ground in worship. Baidul raised a loud hue and cry, trying to stop him!
After exactly two minutes, Baba clapped and went back inside the bungalow, and Baidul helped Kishan to his feet. He was given food at the mandali's quarters and, according to Baba's orders, left for home. Returning to Rawalpindi, he delved into spreading the word about Meher Baba. Later, Kishan Singh was to prove an important link in Baba's work.
Suloo Meshram of Jabalpur, "the boy fit for the Path," also visited Baba at Jubilee Hills. Baba asked him if his mother would object to his staying with him permanently as one of the mandali. Suloo told Baba she would not allow it, much to Baba's disappointment, and after two days Suloo was asked to return home. Baba loved Suloo, but circumstances would not permit him to keep the boy near his side.
Events in the war continued to climax during Baba's fast. On Tuesday, 7 May 1945, the German army surrendered unconditionally in Berlin, and the next day was celebrated as Victory Day in Europe. Two days later, on the 10th, Baba broke his water fast.
There was a swimming pool at the back of the Jubilee Hills bungalow, in which Margaret Craske was teaching the Eastern girls how to swim.
Margaret was still corresponding regularly with Delia DeLeon in England, who was spreading Baba's name there with Will Backett. In America, Elizabeth was going ahead with her plans to develop the Myrtle Beach property, and Darwin Shaw, Frank Eaton, David Brooks, Hilda Fuchs and a few others were staying to help her. Norina was living in an apartment in New York City, on E. 67th Street, with three young ladies — Filis Frederick, Adele Wolkin and Dolores Shaw (Darwin Shaw's niece). Nadine Tolstoy was staying with them, but had developed sclerosis and was not well.
Filis and Adele had moved in with Norina, Elizabeth and Nadine during December 1943. Norina had invited them, indicating she intuited — through her "spiritual thought transmission" — that it was basically Baba's invitation, as he sought to draw them closer.
