Shah Saheb of Panchgani, a man who was struck by divine madness and only partly mast. Nevertheless, he appeared to feel deeply the importance of Baba and reflected it in his attitude;
Vasudev Swami of Ale, with whom Baba had worked before, was a tiny old yogi who had been crippled doing certain occult or yogic practices;
Kabir , the wild, subtle conscious mast who lived in the Hindu cremation grounds of Kurduwadi (near Pandharpur); his roar of laughter sounded like the cry of some wild beast. He was a forbidding character (Baba had worked with him seven years before, at Meherabad.);
Jumma of Baramati, 25 years old, was a mast from birth and was also jamali. He was silent most of the time, "utterly lost in his divine intoxication," as Don described him in The Wayfarers .
Pahlwan of Ahmednagar, in his mid-twenties, a God-mad young man, very good natured, with an exceptionally muscular physique. This explains his name, which means wrestler.
Ali Shah was also brought back to the ashram in January 1947, for ten days of intense work. He was the purest of the jamali types, and Baba had done (and was still to do) an exceptional amount of spiritual work through him.
Adi Sr. was to have brought Mohammed Mast on 5 January, but ended up taking him only as far as Poona. Babadas was keeping watch over Mohammed, but the mast somehow escaped in the night and Adi then came to Mahabaleshwar alone. (Adi's niece Naggu was visiting and the next day Adi escorted her back to Bombay, where she was studying.) Dr. Ghani arrived on the 16th. Baba had written to him to come prepared to stay for good.
One day in January, Eruch was sent to the village of Bhor to bring Bhorwala Baba to the ashram. As usual, Eruch told the thin, elderly Muslim mast that he wanted to take him to see his elder brother, but the mast, who was not fooled, corrected him, "You are not taking me to your elder brother, but to Meher Baba!"
Bhorwala Baba declared, "Meher Baba has in him the whole universe. He is the Master of everyone, and he is within every disciple. He is this world, that which is above it, and that which is below it. He is in me and in everyone. He is the Saint of saints; he is Tajuddin Baba! In one glance, he sees the whole continent of India."
As soon as Eruch and the mast arrived in the ashram, Eruch told Baba what Bhorwala Baba had said.
