“”As soon as Baba heard this, he became annoyed with Babadas, criticizing him, "Why didn't you make it clear to them that no one was to be present at the station to receive us — that in the New Life darshan, blessings, nazar and the like are all stopped?"
"I did explain everything to them," Babadas countered. "I do not know how they happened to come here."
“”Baba remarked, "This annoyance on my initial entry into Benares does not augur well for the future."
He sent Eruch and Babadas to Dr. Nath, asking him to leave immediately and not try to see Baba. He and his wife were standing in the bitter cold on the railway over-bridge, while Baba and the companions were still on the platform. Dr. Nath explained that he had come with his driver to drive the four women to the house. Baba then agreed to this if Nath would accept one rupee in payment — but they still were not permitted darshan.
Receiving Baba's instructions, the Naths left, disappointed. Although they had made the best arrangements for Baba, this was their prasad! They were in truth very fortunate, and being steadfast in their faith were able to bear this blow of love. Neither Dr. Nath nor Dr. Khare had ever met Baba; both were new to his ways. But they rendered great help in Baba's cause in Benares during this period of the New Life. In fact they were "old souls," having past connections with him.
Due to Dr. Nath's presence at the station, Baba and the group were delayed for half an hour. Thereafter, Baba and the women were driven in the doctor's car to the bungalow in Nichi Bagh, near the Bharat Milap section, and the companions followed on foot with the luggage. Dr. Nath had rented a spacious, stately bungalow called Nati Imli , which had two separate structures for the women and men. It had a large flower and fruit tree garden and was enclosed on all sides by a stone wall.
Goher was tired from the journey. No sooner had they entered the house than she sat down on a sofa.
“”Baba did not like it and corrected her, "In the New Life, using chairs, sofas and beds is prohibited. Although every comfort is here, do not use any of it."
A tempting repast from Dr. Nath's home was received in such quantity that it was relished as their lunch for the day.
