Kumar was instructed to speed up the construction work and have the buildings finished by 1 March.
Pendu had a hard time selling the tongas and horses. He went to the bazaar daily with Baidul, but no one was willing to pay much for them. Finally, Baba fixed the price at Rs.1,200. On 3 February, they succeeded in getting rid of the tongas and horses at that price.
All but one of the bullocks were given away free to a friend of Kumar's, Professor Lekh Raj Ulfat, who was the founder of Nanhi Duniya (Little World), a school for deaf and dumb children in Dehra Dun.
Baba advised Lekh Raj, "Your work done for innocent children is praiseworthy in the eyes of God. Carry on bravely and leave the results to God."
At this point, only the caravan, one bullock cart and the bull (Rajah) remained with the New Life companions.
After breakfast on Saturday, 4 February 1950, Baba explained to the companions about moods, doubts and suspicions, with regard to Plan Three:
It is but natural and no one can deny that physical illness, lack of sleep, et cetera, produce mental despondency and a depressive state which at times upsets the mood and makes one moody. This condition will not be considered as a fault but, if it arises out of anger and irritation because of putting up with such hardships, deprivations, et cetera, then it will be deemed as a fault. Such a fault will not be tolerated.
I have complete freedom to send those under Plan Three anywhere, or order them to go under any of the other plans at any time in the future; or I might take with me a few companions wherever I go, in the East or West, leaving the rest behind somewhere. If doubts and suspicions about these moves and orders arise in your minds due to your selfish, faulty or ill-conceived ideas or notions, then you will be considered as "disobedients." The New Life under Plan Three means complete and implicit obedience to my day-to-day orders and the original conditions. Physically staying with me has no importance and value, compared with implicit obedience.
Baba asked the companions to reconsider their decisions, and all wholeheartedly confirmed their adherence to the third plan.
Baba wished to attend the great Kumbha Mela festival in Hardwar that year. At the beginning of February 1950, he consulted Jamnadas about the possibility of finding a suitable bungalow a few miles from Hardwar, where he could stay during March and April.
