He was now staying in a broken-down stable near the river, sitting amidst filth. This time, when Brahmanandji saw Baba, something extraordinary occurred. He cried out in ecstasy: "Look! Behold how devoted love attracts Lord Krishna to me! The Perfect Master has come! The Perfect Master has come!"
As if to support his claim, he reached under his seat and pulled out a book from a gunny sack — The Perfect Master written by Charles Purdom! How he had obtained it remains an enigma. The book was as clean as if it had just been newly bought. Brahmanandji opened the book to Meher Baba's photograph and showed it to those present. The mandali were amazed to see the immaculately kept book in such a dirty abode.
Leaving Brahmanandji, Baidul next went to set up an appointment with Azim Khan . The mast said, "Your prayers have been accepted."
"My elder brother wants to see you," Baidul said.
"No," the mast replied. "He is my father; he should not come. How could I invite him here?"
At 8:00 the next morning, Baba went with Baidul to Azim Khan. As soon as the mast saw him he sang out to him: "You are Allah! You have brought forth the creation! Once in 1,000 years you come down to see the play of what you have created."
Baba just looked at him and smiled — and the contact was over! Baba's glance was sufficient to complete his work.
Although Baba had a cold and was feeling feverish and weak, he expressed his wish to watch a cricket match. But for some reason the scheduled match wasn't played.
After a final contact in Bharatpur, Baba returned to Niranjanpur on 18 October, with Kaka. Adi Sr. returned to Ahmednagar, Pendu and Baidul to Meherabad, and Eruch to Poona. Before leaving, Baba instructed Eruch to look for bungalows in Mahabaleshwar.
Baidul returned to Niranjanpur with the mast Ali Shah on Sunday, 2 November 1946 and Baba worked with him for the next three days. On the 5th, Ali Shah was sent back to Ahmednagar with Baidul, and Kaka was sent to Bombay.
The same day, Baba gave Rs.50 each to seven poor, formerly middle-class people. One of them was an old Muslim who burst into tears of gratitude, giving thanks to God as if he had been rescued from long suffering.
On the 7th, Baba bathed and fed seven mad persons. Nilu was sent to Bombay at this time, and he returned on the 27th.
On Sunday, 24 November 1946, Baba dictated instructions to nine close disciples to find either a mast or saint from various areas of India.
