Baba and all the men stood up and reverently bowed down to these three Perfect Masters.
Baba asked Minoo Kharas to read the list of persons who had dedicated their money or property or both to Baba.
Before reading the list, Baba stated, "Yesterday, I had a talk with the mandali in my retiring room [Interview Cabin] about accepting money. As per the New Life conditions, I do not accept money; so when Harjiwan Lal showed his willingness to offer Rs.4,000, I hesitated. Now, I do not like the idea of accepting money. But to make you all feel that you have shared in this giving, even if your name is not on the list, you may give at least one rupee as a token of love, so that all may feel that they, too, have shared."
At this point, Baba gave a special hint to the program heads that they should not think of giving any extra contributions, for when Baba visited their places, they would have to spend a lot for him and those with him.
Baba informed Meherjee, "Now whenever you like you can open your office on the verandah."
Baba appeared very happy when he finished with this money matter, and asked the Poona bhajan group to sing for half an hour.
"Sing in such a way that it may make all feel happy, and hungry, too!"
For half an hour, all enjoyed hearing fine songs sung before the Divine Beloved, and Baba, too, was in an exceptionally happy and cheerful mood. After this, Baba walked to his room.
At noon, Baba gave interviews to many men in connection with his future darshan programs. During the entire time, several persons stood outside waiting to have a private interview with him.
Keshav Nigam's brother, Mukundlal, had arrived. He was suffering from leprosy, and his body smelled bad. The doctors had no hope of his surviving, and he had come to have Baba's darshan for the last time. Baba saw him, and after his interview, he gave Kumar a banana to give to Mukundlal, with instructions that he eat the fruit (including the peel!) after 40 days, even if it had dried up by then. Why had Baba instructed him to eat it after 40 days? Master psychologist that he was, Baba knew that Mukund would then remember him every day for 40 days, thinking: "Today there are only 35 more days left to eat Baba's prasad." And, miraculously, after some time, Mukund completely recovered.
