Baba contacted a subtle-conscious yogi in Baragran during his stay. They met in silence in the yogi's mountain hut. But mostly, Baba remained absorbed in his seclusion work.
Rano had not been well in Niranjanpur, and in Katrain she felt weaker and more indisposed. Baba was feeding her with his own hands and looking after her with care.
He remarked to her, "I brought you here to look after my requirements, but now I have to look after yours !"
"It's my bad luck," Rano replied.
"Not bad luck," Baba corrected. "It's your good luck. Don't worry."
In Mandi, Baba had told her to eat a plate of curry and rice. Rano felt nauseated but obeyed and later vomited. Don examined her and found she had infectious hepatitis. She was kept in a separate room at the top of a cowshed, and Don began treating her. Don would tell her to eat all sorts of appetizing things, but Baba forbade each new request.
Rano improved quickly, and Baba later revealed, "If I had not ordered you to eat that curry and rice, you would have been very sick."
Leaving Katrain on Thursday, 20 June 1946, Baba took the women to Manali, and then to Raison, where they spent the night at a hotel. From Raison they went to Palampur, where an amusing incident took place: A goat was caught eating Baba's soap!
From Palampur they entrained to Saharanpur, and from there went back to Niranjanpur, which they reached on 22 June.
Dr. Ghani had a wife and children to support, but he never paid much attention to his homeopathic practice, and by 1946 he had fallen deeply into debt. While he had stayed in Bangalore with Baba in 1940, some unscrupulous persons in Lonavla had falsely involved him in a murder case. The case was taken to court, where it dragged on for years. Ghani had to spend a lot of money on lawyers for his defense, and because of this, he had incurred substantial debts.
His acquittal came sooner than expected, and he attributed it to the night in Bangalore when he had first disclosed to Baba his troubles. Baba was in seclusion at the time and Ghani was on nightwatch.
Baba asked him, "What are you thinking?"
Ghani told him every detail of the false charges being brought against him.
Baba replied, "You should have told me before. Where was the necessity of getting scared and going into debt?
