The following day, Saturday, 30 June 1951, Baba stated, "I am most happy at the Declaration I made, bearing in my heart all the Perfect Masters of all ages. I hope you have shared in my happiness. I also feel that in February [1952] the bliss that is endless will be attained."
That morning, Baba took the group in two buses to the scenic Usman Sagar (lake). They returned at 10:30 A.M., and the rest of the day was pleasurably spent in light talk, amusements and recreation. Baba consented to a group photograph, which was taken on the steps of the bungalow.
Baba also met individually with a few of his lovers that day. Nana Kher told him, "I wish to stay with you."
"Would you do as I tell you?" Baba asked.
"Assuredly!" was his quick reply.
"From tomorrow, start drinking two bottles of wine and eat one kilo of mutton," Baba ordered. "Would you do it?"
Although Nana, being a high-caste Brahmin, had never touched wine or meat in his life, he agreed to obey.
Baba then related to him, "I am very pleased with you, but continue to stay at your house, and never touch wine or mutton!"
Pankhraj also expressed a similar wish, whereupon Baba stated, "If you stay with me, your wife Tarabai will nab me."
"She will agree," Pankhraj pleaded. "She won't create trouble. She loves you."
"All right, do this. Go back to Nagpur and visit a prostitute daily for two months; also, drink a full bottle of wine every day. Could you do this? If you do it, I will keep you with me."
"I will think it over and then reply," Pankhraj said.
"He who thinks never accomplishes anything!" Baba warned him. "Just go on staying with your wife, and never have anything to do with either prostitutes or wine."
Thus the Hyderabad meeting came to an end, and those invited left for their respective homes throughout India.
By this time, the war in Korea was at its extreme. In April and May of 1951, the Chinese and North Korean communists had launched major battles and appeared to be pushing toward victory. But in June, after Baba shifted to Hyderabad, there was a massive UN counteroffensive. The Korean War proved to be one of the bloodiest in history, with a total loss of more than two and a half million men. All this, while Baba was making his own dramatic plans.
Murli Kale had stayed with Baba since his father Kalemama had sent him to study in the Meher Ashram in 1927, when he was 13. At the Hyderabad meeting, Murli conveyed to Baba that he was interested in practicing homeopathy and wished to study further. Therefore, on Sunday, 1 July 1951, Baba willingly freed him from being a servant-companion, and sent him back to his Old Life. As a companion in the New Life, Murli had faithfully carried out all the conditions, and Baba was fully satisfied with him.
