Keki had been instructed to reserve seats for Baba and his mandali, and each day Baba and the men went to see the match. Baba's stay in Delhi was also kept a strict secret, as he did not wish to be disturbed.
Despite the fact that Baba's prime reason for coming to Delhi was to rest, for three days he communed with twelve masts, mastanis and sadhus revered by the local populace.
Early in the morning of 12 November, Baba had a humorous encounter with a mast named Amanullah Kabuli. He was a high half-jamali, half-jalali mast. Baba handed him ten rupees after their private contact, and then this amusing conversation in Urdu took place between them. Baba spoke through Baidul.
"Where are you going now?" the mast asked.
"Ajmer," Baba replied.
"I will come with you," the mast said.
"I will pay you ten rupees more for train fare," Baba said. "You should buy your own ticket to Ajmer and go there by yourself."
Baba handed him an additional ten-rupee note and then said, "Now permit us to proceed to Ajmer."
Amanullah, pointing to Baba, said, "You and the others may go, but he [pointing to Baidul] must return in the evening."
"For God's sake, allow us all to go!" pleaded Baba.
Again pointing to Baba, Amanullah answered: "God is standing just in front of me, so how can I let Him go?"
Baidul chatted with him about various mundane things and tried to exact his permission to leave. Amanullah finally gave his consent, but turning to Baba uttered, "Inwardly I will constantly be sending you my 'love-telegrams.' You may be in either the East or the West, but my love-cables will be so powerful, they will drag you back to me!"
"When you call me, I will come," Baba assured him.
Amanullah replied, uttering this couplet in Persian: "Wherever I cast my eyes, I see only You."
The mast continued speaking Persian for some time. In the end, with much love, and with tears in his eyes, he grasped Baba's hand and after a few moments allowed Baba to leave.
On Saturday, 13 November 1948, Baba departed Delhi for Ajmer and began his mast contacts there the next day. Five miles from Nasirabad, Baba worked with Shaukat Ali Maulana Mastan in Bitiani village. Two days later, on the 15th, he again contacted Chacha , the God-conscious majzoob.
