Ghani's friend, Abdul Rezak, arrived with refreshments. Ghani suggested halting in the more comfortable setting of Rezak's house in Khopoli, but Baba chose to rest outside the town by a mountain brook. It being Thursday, the traditional Hindu day of worshiping the guru, Upasni Maharaj's arti was sung, and afterward all had tea and mangoes which Rezak had brought.
At nine in the evening, they proceeded toward the village of Chauk, carrying the kerosene lanterns to light the way. Nervous' feet sorely ached, but he still tried to keep pace with the group. His stride resembled a hopping dance. This amused Baba, who told Nervous to ride in the bullock cart with a few of the others whose feet were severely split with blisters.
After walking 20 miles at a rapid pace, through twilight and moonlight, they arrived at the village of Chauk at two in the morning. Finding a group of strangers arriving at such an odd hour, the villagers suspected them to be a gang of thieves. But after a cordial interview, the villagers' fears were quieted and they offered to guide the group to a more pleasant rest area a few miles away. The men were so tired, however, that they did not wish to proceed another step; they pleaded with Baba to let them lie down and sleep in their bedrolls alongside the road.
Baba ordered them to follow him and, in the darkness, walked to an area where he said they should camp. When they awakened late in the morning, the sun was already hot. They were pleasantly surprised at what a beautiful place Baba had chosen. It was shaded by very large trees with a well conveniently nearby.
After a relaxing afternoon's repose, they started at four o'clock for Panvel. Before sunset they had covered a long distance and continued without stopping, guided by their lanterns, as darkness fell. As they neared the town, Baba pointed out a fire on top of the mountain; it was a beautiful sight under the starry sky. Arriving at Panvel at about nine in the evening, they rested in a dharamshala and immediately went to bed. Before sleeping, Baba cautioned them to beware of scorpions and not to move about in the dark without carrying a lantern.
Faredoon got up in the night to urinate, but forgot to take a lantern. As he was lying down in his bedding roll, he remembered his mistake and was relieved that no scorpion had stung him.
