Baba stepped outside and began walking briskly on the verandah. For ten minutes he paced back and forth, and Beheram then approached him and informed him that Perin was weeping.
Baba entered the house, and asked Jalbhai, Beheram and Perin the same question: "Do you love these children?" Each gave the same answer, so he said, "It means that you do not love me!"
Anxious, all replied, "That can never be, Baba."
Baba wiped Perin's tears and requested that she smile, which she did.
He went and picked up Rustom, and reassured his mother by saying, "I have my nazar on him. Don't worry."
Rustom gradually recovered, and the whole family was indebted to Baba.
Baba left Poona and arrived in Wai on 24 November 1945. Kaka Baria went on to Bombay. The women mandali were overjoyed at Baba's return, after nearly two months. Baba caught up on all the news at Wai, and informed the women and men about his seclusion and mast contacts.
After a week, on Friday, 30 November, Baba left for Meherabad, leaving the women, as before, guarded by Krishna, Nilu, Vishnu and Venkoba Rao.
Baba held a meeting of the Meherabad mandali in which they discussed the upcoming one-month meeting. Baba announced his decision, which was sent to all concerned in the form of a circular on 4 December 1945:
1. A few weeks prior to the culmination of my Hyderabad stay, I had declared to the mandali there with me that I shall "die" spiritually in November 1945.
2. Those with me at Angiras Rishi Hill, where I was in seclusion for a number of days and underwent intense spiritual activity during a conference of the Five of Us representing Intelligence, Creation, Preservation, Destruction and Coordination, have seen me suffer in a manner that almost threatened my physical existence.
3. Since Meherabad is associated with the beginning and early stages of my spiritual activity, I have decided to culminate the momentum of my workings at my original place — that is, Meherabad.
4. At Meherabad, I am going to retire in my crypt under the Dome on the hill from January 1, 1946, for spiritual relaxation for an indefinite period. Hence the often postponed meeting of signatories due to be held in February 1946 is hereby finally postponed sine die [without a day being appointed].
5. Under these particular circumstances, the one-month meeting may be fixed by me at any period after January 1946, and the signatories will be informed to join the rally within ten days of receiving notice, unreservedly, at any cost or consequence.
