During this period, Meher Baba did not close his eyes and seldom would lie down for rest. Upasni Maharaj would come to his room and beckon him, "Come Merwan, come." They would sit alone in Upasni's thatched hut near the village's crematory grounds, where Baba would note down on paper whatever the Master dictated. Baba kept these notes in a wooden box in his room. Upasni would continue for hours dictating point after point and Baba would go on writing until midnight, or even past two o'clock. No one knows what was written.
Durgabai would always stay awake waiting for Baba to return to his room. She would keep food ready for him in case he felt hungry. At that time, Durgabai was also Upasni's most trusted woman disciple and loved Baba profoundly. She was the only person at Sakori to whom Upasni revealed, "Merwan is the Avatar."
During the day, Durgabai also cooked Baba's meals. He would come to the kitchen or her quarters and insist that Gulmai eat with him. He would shower his affection on Gulmai and insist that they share the same plate; usually he would eat only a few morsels and make Gulmai finish the meal. Baba would ask for food at any odd time, and if, for some reason, there was any delay, he would not eat it; that is why Durgabai always kept food prepared and was ordered by Upasni to be always ready to serve Baba's needs. Usually, when walking back from Upasni's hut late in the night, Baba would not ask for food, even if he were hungry and had not eaten all day, because Gulmai would be asleep in the kitchen with Durgabai. In the morning Baba would affectionately tell them, "I went to bed hungry as I did not wish to disturb you."
During this six-month period, Baba would spontaneously start singing any time of the day or night. His melodious voice would fill the rural solitude of Sakori. Those listening would become enraptured; Baba's voice was so transcendently beautiful that it seemed as if their lives had no other purpose than to sit and listen to him sing. At those moments when he was moved to sing, song after song would pour from him, as if the sweet echoes from the waves of the divine ocean filled the air. Listening to him, too, Upasni Maharaj would occasionally shed tears of joy — in testament to the divine bliss in Merwan's songs.
