A strong wind was blowing, which also disturbed him. Nariman kept watch that night of 3 July, from 9:00 P.M. to midnight, but the next night their fixed times changed. Nariman and Meherjee were to be on watch alternating from midnight to 4:00 A.M.
Baba fasted on water for the entire day and night of 4 July. On the 5th, he began drinking milkless tea with honey. At 6:00 P.M. that day, Kaka reported that Baba was complaining of nausea, probably because of the honey. Jal, Nariman and Meherjee pressed Kaka for more details of Baba's workings in seclusion, and Kaka, as they all were observing silence, scribbled on his slate: "Ram is taking stock of things in the world from his citadel!"
Kaka then wrote: "I am really not fit to be even a particle of the dust of the Master's feet, and it is his infinite kindness and love only that he gives me the opportunity to serve him a little."
On the morning of Wednesday, 6 July 1949, Baba took two teaspoons of honey and two teaspoons of coconut water at 8:00 A.M. Later that morning, he dictated certain instructions for the mandali at Meherabad. Honey and coconut water were again taken at noon, and also at 2:00 P.M. Baba also drank a glass of weak tea without milk at that time. At four o'clock he sipped two teaspoons of honey and two teaspoons of coconut water, but at eight that night he vomited, as his sensitive stomach apparently could not digest the honey.
On 7 July, Baba fasted on tea without milk, taken twice, and two glasses of buttermilk, also taken twice that day. At 11:00 A.M., Kaka came out of Baba's cabin and wrote on his slate for Jal Kerawalla, Meherjee and Nariman: "You men will not get such an opportunity again in your lives, so make the most of the time at your disposal. Baba has dictated the following for Jal's diary:
The flow of my thoughts continues day and night, during sleep as well as when I am awake; for 24 hours it continues. Thoughts of God come, thoughts of maya come; good thoughts come, bad thoughts come; desirable thoughts come, undesirable thoughts come; pure thoughts, impure thoughts; thoughts of my men and women mandali; thoughts of the world, thoughts of the entire universe.
