The commissioner, S. N. Reddy, invited Eruch to his house for tea, and Eruch, surprised by the invitation, accepted.
At his residence, Police Commissioner Reddy left the room and returned with an old framed photograph. It was the photograph of Baba as a young boy with his high school cricket team. Reddy said he was a member of the team and said, "Tell Baba that I always remember him from our school days." The necessary documents were promptly prepared and sent out. From then on, not only were Baba and his men allowed to travel freely in every town in the area, but also in every obscure outpost the local police had been informed not to stop them.
Minoo Kharas and Daulat Singh arrived in Hyderabad as instructed, but Minoo was so severely ill he had to be hospitalized for a few days. Because of his poor health, Baba sent him back to Karachi on the 14th.
Pendu completed the required arrangements on Khojaguda Hill. On 10 October, Baba took the women in the morning to see the cave. On the 13th Pendu, Gustadji, Baidul and Daulat Singh went up to stay there and clean the caves prior to Baba's arrival. Eruch drove them with the luggage and the five religious models. The car was parked near the top of the hill, and the companions went to inspect the site while Eruch locked the car. As Eruch turned away, suddenly the car began rolling back down the hill. Eruch ran after it as fast as he could, but the car was rolling rapidly, twisting and turning and, as Eruch described it, "leaping over small boulders in its path." Eruch was certain it would be smashed, and he was especially worried about the fragile marble models inside the "dickey" (trunk).
Finally, the car stopped in a muddy paddy field. Nearing it, Eruch saw that, except for a broken windshield, no other damage had been done. The models were intact. The car could easily have been badly dented against the rocks and could have fallen into a ditch that was on one side. Later, when the incident was described to Baba, he merely chuckled.
On Monday, 15 October 1951, Don's car was decorated with flowers, and after bidding the women goodbye, Baba left for the hill at 2:30 P.M. Vishnu, Nilu and a Mohammedan priest accompanied Baba, and Don drove. They reached the top of Khojaguda Hill half an hour later. A prayer was offered, after which Vishnu, Nilu, Don and the priest returned to Hyderabad, leaving Eruch, Pendu, Gustadji, Baidul and Daulat Singh on the hill with Baba. In the evening the sky burst into a rainstorm — tears at the thought of the unimaginable suffering the Beloved would have to pass through during his Manonash.
