Baba then washed and placed his head on their feet. Afterwards, he handed Rs.1,000 to each, and the four recipients were sent back to their respective places.
Baba detailed to Meherjee, Nariman, Adi and Ramjoo the hardships and privations undergone during his recent travels. At 10:00 A.M., Baba went with all his companions to a cricket series being played in Brabourne Stadium.
Monday, 27 November was spent in mast work in Bombay and surrounding areas. Baba contacted 33 masts in Bombay. While Baba kept his head on each mast's feet, someone from among the companions would request the mast to give his blessing. Ramjoo accompanied Baba for the first three days in Bombay, and as instructed requested the following blessing from the masts: "Please pray that his spiritual work is carried out successfully."
Some masts would reply, "God willing, it will be completed." Some merely nodded their heads, not saying a word.
One mast boldly asked, "How can I interfere in God's will and the work of the Sadgurus?" When he was assured that he was not being sought to "interfere" but only to give his blessing, the mast patted Baba firmly on the back a few times and said, "It will be so, it will be so."
One mast demanded exactly three rupees and four annas before he would say anything one way or the other. But when Baba placed the amount in his hand, one anna coin slipped from his fingers and rolled under a wooden box. The mast was offended and refused to give the blessing sought unless and until the coin was found and given to him.
Patiwala Baba was a jalali mast who would not allow anyone to approach him. Baba went to him twice. When Baba visited him the second time, late at night, the mast said: "It is likely he is God! It is likely he is Muhammad! But why does he not leave me alone?"
Baba quietly touched his feet and left without asking for his blessing.
"He's a fine fellow," Baba repeated more than once.
After Baba was disturbed by noise at Ashiana, he began sleeping in an upstairs room at Meherjee's, taking a break during the day at Nariman's. The rest of his time was spent hunting for masts. But there was noise at Meherjee's also, so after two nights, Baba returned to Ashiana, where he slept this time in the drawing room.
