Baidul was to pour back the extra water that Sadashiv had brought. Baba also directed them to purchase two young goats, if possible. They returned from Rishikesh on the 15th, with two large cans full of water from the Ganges. At half past noon, Baba bathed with water from one of the cans. The other can was kept for another bath two weeks later, on 1 March.
Baba was becoming anxious about the completion of the work on the Manjri Mafi property before the end of the month, and he visited the property three times. Some of the villagers had approached Baba for medical help, and Baba instructed Murli to treat them with homeopathic medicines.
Baba visited Manjri Mafi with Nilu on Thursday, 16 February. While returning to the Mahant's house, an old woman, named Mrs. Ghasita, stopped them. With tears in her eyes, she begged Baba to help her son who was ill. Baba asked for the details. The boy had vomited 20 times and, suffering diarrhea, had passed 30 motions the previous night. Baba ordered Nilu to treat him.
Before beginning the New Life on 16 October 1949, Baba had promised his brother Jalbhai that he would be called to stay with him for a few months. He was the only man from the Old Life to whom Baba had given such a promise. On the morning of 17 February, Baba dictated a letter to Jalbhai in Poona, saying he could now come to Dehra Dun. But a week later, Jalbhai sent a telegram that he was too ill and could not travel.
On Saturday, 18 February 1950, Virendra Pandey drove Baba, accompanied by Eruch, Kumar and Nalavala, in his car to Motichur Village, 35 miles away. Baba inspected the repairs and gave certain other instructions for a hut to be constructed. Then he was driven to Hardwar, where he met Sansarchand Gohal, Virendra's friend, and the owner of the bungalow.
While Nilu was returning to Manjri Mafi in the evening, his patient, Mrs. Ghasita and her son were waiting on the road to thank Baba for his kindness. The son had completely recovered, and she wholeheartedly thanked Baba with tears in her eyes.
After breakfast on Monday, 20 February 1950, Baba called the companions, and again explained in detail the implications and importance of the conditions. The entire day was spent in discussing and repeating the conditions of the various plans.
