Through Adi and Eruch, he sent word to the men to leave immediately.
When the message was conveyed, the owner replied, "It is my mistake and I beg to be forgiven this error. I knew of the instruction but thought that being in the garden would not be disobedience. Truly, I have come only to see to your comforts."
When he was assured nothing was required, the man left quietly, promising not to enter again. Still, Baba informed Dr. Nath that his instructions had not been properly carried out, and he was ordered to confront the owner and receive his firm promise that he would never set foot in the garden of the bungalow again while Baba was staying there.
The following day, a discussion ensued about the foot journey from Benares. Pendu and Eruch noted, "The caravan is to be used by the women and for keeping Baba's things. But it will not be possible to pile all the companions' baggage into one bullock cart — it will require four carts."
In reply, Baba explained, "As we go onwards, by the end of December, nearly 50 percent of the luggage will have melted away. The stock of dry provisions is meant for the training period of begging, ending on the 31st. After January 1, we will live on what we get by begging. There won't be any money. As per the conditions of the New Life, there won't even be anything to fall back on in case of an emergency!"
To cope with all their luggage, Adi suggested using a camel cart, to which Baba replied, "I, too, had thought of employing camels, but not the cart."
All supported Adi, and Baba complimented him on his timely suggestion.
Baidul interposed, "I had camels in Persia; I can drive a camel cart."
Don added, "And I've ridden camels in the Sahara Desert, so I have some experience with them."
This discussion caused Baba to send this message to Dr. Nath through Adi and Eruch:
Dr. Nath will receive Rs.1,000 more (out of the Rs.3,000 with Kaka for cattle feed) from which he should buy a good camel and camel cart. Including this sum, Dr. Nath now has Rs.1,700. With this he should purchase a camel, camel cart, two she-donkeys and, if there is enough money, two cows. If more is needed, Dr. Nath should pay the balance from his pocket as alms.
