For example, Kaka used to give Ghani a plate of cream every day when they had stayed at Pimpalgaon together; yet in the instance cited above, to keep Baba's pleasure, he exhibited more venom than love, and fought wholeheartedly. Despite this verbal battle, however, neither held any rancor against the other, and they carried on in Baba's love. Baba would not tolerate "grudges" or hurt feelings kept inside. Everything had to come out — and in front of everyone. In this way, Baba would cause squabbles and quarrels among the mandali, to clean out their inner filth. Each felt as if he were walking on the edge of a sword — and Baba mischievously relished it all!
Starting 21 June 1948, Baba again began working with Ali Shah at the Ice Factory Bungalow twice a day, in the mornings and afternoons. On the 25th, he was sent back to Meherabad with Baidul and Savak.
As Baba was to depart on yet another mast trip, he took the women to an early morning film on 24 June and two more on the 26th. Nusserwan Satha had been incarcerated by the British for his role in the Indian independence movement. Kaka Chinchorkar saw Baba on the 28th and informed him of his efforts to have Nusserwan released.
The same day at 3:15 P.M., Baba boarded a train with Baidul, Eruch, Chhagan and Meherjee and reached Nasirabad on the 29th. Baba would occasionally call either Meherjee or Nariman to accompany him during his travels. Nariman, Arnavaz, Meherjee, Dr. Deshmukh and Nana Kher were persons who, though living in the world, did not belong to it, and led an ideal life by living under the Master's orders.
In Nasirabad, Baba contacted the high mast Jhipra Baba , with whom he had worked five years before. From there, Baba proceeded to Jalgaon, where he contacted Maulana Hazur . After working with a few more masts, Baba went to the dak bungalow to rest for the night. After dinner, he uncharacteristically poured a little brandy for each man. Baba then began to smoke a cigarette a mast had given him earlier in the day. Calling Meherjee, Baba handed him the cigarette, indicating to him to take a few puffs. He then motioned to him to throw it away and never smoke again. Meherjee, being from a strict family of Zoroastrian priests, had never tried smoking, so this proved to be his first and last cigarette — given to him by Baba!
