Three types of Yogis:
1. Those who long for the Goal and shun powers
2. Those who long for the Goal and also for powers
3. Those who do all yogic exercises merely for powers
Three types of Resigners:
1. Those who are so completely resigned to the will of the Master that even the one question of how, why, or when never even enters into their minds. Hafiz says: "Do not breathe a word smacking of why and wherefore, because the blessed disciple accepts heartily every word that the Sultan (Master) utters," (meaning, he is the chosen disciple who obeys the Master in everything and anything with all his heart).
2. Those who do what the Master asks at all costs, sacrificing everything, not asking for reward, but do it under compulsion of surrenderance to the Master's will.
3. Those who do what the Master asks at all costs but expect reward.
Baba came to Khushru Quarters and had a private talk with Gulmai telling her not to worry about her daughters, but to come and stay with him. Gulmai was greatly relieved. On 12 September, Baba held a four-hour meeting with Adi's nephews, Mehlu, Falu and Beheram, over the division of their property. Over the years, Baba had been apprised of each and every transaction and interaction with these young men and their family's property in Nasik and elsewhere.
Baba came to live at Meherazad on Thursday, 16 September 1948, with Mehera, Mani, Meheru, Goher, Walu, Norina, Elizabeth, Delia and Jean.1 Baba's bedroom was upstairs. The men who began staying at Meherazad were Don, Ghani and Kaka. The rest of the men and women mandali stayed in Meherabad, but Baba would frequently call Rano, Kitty and Naja to Meherazad. Kaka Baria went to Ahmednagar for the marketing, and Adi Sr. was instructed to come once a day at 2:00 P.M. with the post and telegrams.
On the 18th, Minoo Kharas, Minoo Pohowala, Beheram Dadachanji, Nariman and Meherjee came to Meherabad, and Baba went to see them at noon that day. (The meeting was in relation to Nariman opening a business office in Karachi, with Kharas and Pohowala's help.) Baba returned the next day also, and met Eruch and Naoroji Dadachanji at Sarosh Motor Works.
Ali Shah was brought to Meherazad on 20 September, and Baba began working with him. The mandali could not help but notice that this coincided with the "fall" of Hyderabad to the Indian Union forces, following the Nizam's surrender.
