There, Kaikobad performed the navjot ceremony of Jangoo and Meher Desai.
At 11:00 A.M. Baba returned to lower Meherabad and began giving interviews to those who had come, including Kishan Singh, Gadekar, Bal Natu, Minoo Pohowala and the Poona Theosophical group.
After inquiring about Kishan's journey and health, Baba asked, "Now, what do you want?"
Kishan replied, "Is it for me to say what I need or for my Master to decide what I should have?"
Baba was quick in spelling out this reply, "Forget the idea of Master and just answer the question!"
"Then I need your love, devotion for you and inseparable union with you," said Kishan. "Will you give it to me?"
Baba smiled, and though he did not answer, when Kishan left Meherabad he felt Baba had given him much.
He was told to return again on 4 September, and on that occasion, Baba commented to him, "You are one of the few people whom I have selected for my spiritual work, and I will call you even without your asking."
Kishan was called once every three months to meet Baba.
Bal Natu had brought a sadhu called Mauni Bua, who had taken a vow of silence and spent his time wandering about on pilgrimages.
During his interview, Baba asked him: "Do you have lustful thoughts?"
Writing on his chalkboard, Mauni Bua admitted that he did.
"Do you get angry?"
"Yes, very much so."
"Have you performed any lustful action?"
"Before I adopted silence, but not now."
"What do you want? God?"
"No, your grace."
"Will you do as I tell you?"
"Yes, I will."
"Think carefully before you promise."
"I will do so."
"Listen carefully. Eat meat twice a day and once a day drink a bottle of liquor."
"I haven't the [financial] provision."
"I will make the provision for you."
Mauni Bua hesitated and then wrote, "No, it will not be possible for me."
Baba explained, "Then you are not fit. Better to continue your pilgrimages for one year. Don't touch money. Eat only by begging. If you don't get anything, go without food. After a year, ask yourself whether you are prepared to obey Baba. If you are ready, come back to me. Otherwise, continue doing as you have been doing until you are prepared to obey me, and then come."
Baba asked Vishnu Chavan of Poona, "Are you prepared to obey me to the extent of killing your child, if I order you to?"
