Everyone was glad to rest, and Baba served tea and biscuits to all. After a short rest, they again started to walk, but Sadashiv and some of the older men were exhausted. Baba did not wish to hear their complaints, so they were sent ahead to Talegaon by train.
By two in the afternoon they reached Khind village. Baba, Sarosh and Ramjoo led the way, and when they reached the outskirts of Talegaon, they stopped under the shade of a tree. Within an hour, the other men gradually streamed in. All were tired and their feet were sore. Ghani had a fever and Baba himself gave him a large dose of quinine.
Everyone had a restful sleep under the trees. Without any breakfast, they resumed walking at five in the morning and walked continuously for four hours, arriving at Kamshet at nine o'clock. Abdul Tayab (an acquaintance of Ramjoo) arrived in a car from Lonavla with bread, butter and jam. Abdul prepared tea, and all enjoyed breakfast in a dharamshala near the railway station. They rested there for the day under the shade of a nearby small grove.
The next day, they began their journey again at five in the morning. May is the hottest month in India, so to prevent sunstroke they had to walk during the early hours of the morning. The journey was enchanting, past the beautiful hills during twilight, however, Baba's ankle became swollen and inflamed that day. Despite the pain, he was still walking fast. The men wanted him to rest, but he refused. Three hours later they arrived in Lonavla. Tea was brought from the town while they took a short rest. Refreshed, they reached Khandala in an hour.
About the journey, Baily later wrote:
From the beginning, Baba ordered that during daytime we would take rest to relieve ourselves of the fatigue of travel at a place in a village where all facilities, including water, were available. We would travel during the night. Each should have a staff in his hand and constantly keep repeating his community's name of God. In this manner, we continued our night-walk whether it be full moon or no moon, carrying the four lanterns. At the first sight of the sunrise, we would look for a nearby village, because by that time we would be dead tired. However, Baba's gait would be just the same at the end of the walk as at the beginning.
