The next day, Baba scolded Gaya Prasad for his mistakes, but forgiving him, stated, "Considering the service you rendered to me during the New Life, I forgive you; otherwise, I would never have forgiven you!"
Baba then ordered Kumar to make the mandali and Hamirpur workers stand in a row outside in an open space.
Baba came out of the dharamshala and instructed those standing in line to count off as follows: "I am Fool Number One ... I am Fool Number Two ... I am Fool Number Three" and so on and on until "Fool Number 80!"
At the end, Baba joked, "Last night I had to sleep with 80 fools, so you can imagine my condition — it can't be anything but bad!"
But amidst his scolding, there was love and good humor, because as the years unfolded, in future correspondence with him, those who had stood in line that day would sign their letters, "Fool No. 5," or whatever their number had been.
Harjiwan Lal arrived in Rath on the 6th, and joined the group. At 1:35 that afternoon, Baba gave darshan to a group of college students at the Brahmanand Inter College.
He stated: "I feel very happy to be among you all, and especially to meet Swamiji [Swami Brahmanand, the founder of the college]. Swamiji has done so much and is doing so much for you because even this is an aspect of divine love. I give you all my love and blessings."
Swami Brahmanand was asked by Baba to join him on the dais, but he preferred to sit on the ground. Shortly afterwards, Baba too left the dais and sat on the steps of the verandah.
Brahmanand requested that Baba have tea, but Baba stated, "Seeing you all here, my heart has become full; and when the heart is full, what is the need for tea?"
However, later, at the repeated request of the principal, Baba and the mandali had tea and refreshments.
The principal introduced one of the college masters (teachers) to Baba who punned, "I too am connected with masters, as I myself am one."
Public darshan was held in Rath later that afternoon. This message was dictated by Baba at 3:05 P.M.:
