On this occasion, while riding in a tonga with Baba, the mast spotted a toddyshop, and clearly indicated to Baba to make the driver stop so he could refresh himself with a couple of drinks. Baba treated him to his favorite spirit.
Continuing on, riding through the streets of Hyderabad, Baba was seated beside Nuruddin in the tonga. Eruch and Baidul were following in another tonga. At one spot, Baidul saw the mast Rajiah Mastan alongside the road and beckoned to him. He was most unclean, wore a heavy, filthy turban and held a bundle of broken bits of glass. On Baba's signal, Baidul helped the mast to sit in his and Eruch's tonga. Baidul held on to him as they drove slowly off, while a crowd of schoolchildren surged beside the tonga in a merry-go-round of fun and laughter, jeering and tugging at the mast. Rajiah appeared to relish the focus of so much laughter and fun, and Baba too was delighted by the children.
On Tuesday, 7 August 1945, Baba worked with the chargeman of Hyderabad, Sayyed Mu'inuddin. Baba communed with him three times, but the last time, on the 7th, he had to wait for three hours before the saint would allow himself to be fed. Baba fed him a hearty meal with his own hands, but afterwards, Sayyed Mu'inuddin asked for mincemeat and chapatis, which Baidul brought from a restaurant. The mast did full justice to this, and then asked for barfi. He was given this, too, and next demanded more cigarettes, which Baba also lovingly provided. Baba was very pleased with this contact.
Again on 8 August, Baba was out in the streets of the city doing mast work; and on the 9th, he worked with the high mast named Gulam Hussein .
These contacts were particularly significant in light of the fact that on 6 August 1945 the first atomic bomb was dropped by America on Hiroshima, and three days later, the 9th, another atom bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Both cities were devastated and each suffered casualties estimated at 100,000 dead.
Japan surrendered, and the victory was celebrated on Wednesday, 15 August 1945. Later that same day, Baba dictated these cryptic lines:
I will die in October In November to rise again. In December I will kill all All in February will life regain!
