On the 6th he visited Khushru Quarters in the morning and gave instructions for Adi's sister Piroja, her family and others there.
On Sunday, 11 September 1949, Baba dictated a list of personal belongings each companion would be permitted to have with him or her. These were all they were to bring with them when they came to Meherabad on 1 October, and it was emphasized that it would have to last them the "whole of the New Life":
Two thick cotton kafnis [long robe]; one white and one blue
One brown woolen kafni
One rough blanket
One woolen suit
One cotton or silk suit
Two shirts — one woolen, another cotton or silk
Two pajamas
Two cotton t-shirts
Three pairs of socks — one woolen, two cotton
Four langotis [loincloth] or underwear
Four handkerchiefs
One bath towel
One face towel
One tin suitcase (maximum size 2 x 1 1/2 feet x 9 inches)
One cloth bag which can be hung from the shoulders
One lota or mug
One thali or plate
One spoon, one teaspoon
One toothbrush, one toothpaste tube
One small hand mirror, one shaving set (with blades)
Two bars of soap
One pair of boots, shoes or slippers
Those in the habit of using wristwatches, spectacles and false teeth may take these with them only if they are still using them
One good durable walking stick
One new hat, cap or turban, whichever preferred
Those using neckties may take two
One brush or comb, and hair oil if using it
Every Yeswala was ordered to arrive at Meherabad without any money; however, if he possessed any official government credential, identification card or driver's license he was to bring these documents with him. Although each companion was instructed to have the above necessities with them, later on, even these clothes were taken away!
On 15 September, Goma Ganesh, Bhagirath and Rusi Pop had interviews at Meherazad and received instructions from Baba. Baba went to Meherabad that day at 3:00 and, after meeting with the mandali, played cricket with them for a while. He came on the 16th, 17th, and 18th also, and spent all three days on the hill with the women.
Amidst the excitement and hurried preparations to depart, Baba asked Dr. Ghani — who was facing personal financial problems — to compose a ghazal, instructing him to "vent his spleen" on his Master. Ghani wrote a ghazal in the form of a jeremiad — a long and mournful complaint — and read it out to Baba at Meherabad on Thursday, 22 September 1949. Baba then requested that Khak Saheb write a ghazal in reply, and the next day Khak Saheb delivered "The Saki's" pithy rejoinder to Ghani, which pleased Baba very much.
