During their evening supper, Baba again emphasized that no one in the Manzil should have any connection with Ghani and to ignore him. He even went as far as to say that they were to treat him as if he were part of the furniture! For some days, Baba stopped talking with or seeing Ghani altogether and then sent Gustadji to ask him, "Now do you feel sorry in any way?"
Ghani reiterated, "I do not feel anything."
Baba became all the more displeased, berating him, "If I am anything, I will make you tell the truth!" He then added to what was already written on the board:
If Ghani has any shame left in him, he should immediately leave the Manzil.

During this period, some families of the married mandali were being financially supported by Baba. Later that same night of 11 October, Baba asked those mandali members concerned whether they had received money order acknowledgments from their families. Some replied no.
The acknowledgment receipts had been kept with Ghani, who went to his room and upon returning handed one receipt to Ahmed Khan Gavai and one to Kondiram. Seeing this exchange, Baba became so perturbed with Ahmed and Kondiram for having anything to do with Ghani that he demanded that the three men leave the Manzil immediately. Kondiram and Ahmed were frightened and began perspiring, while Ghani was resigned. After a while, Baba called them back and forgave them, slowly reverting once more to his good-humored self.
Then he quietly addressed Ghani: "I order you to return to Poona and stay there. I am not sending you away permanently. You can keep your baggage in your room. You also can come here one day a month and stay with me. Your connection with me will remain intact and be secure. I will definitely do for you what I have to do."
Ghani pleaded, "I am bound to follow your order, but I don't relish the prospect of remaining in Poona and spending only one day a month with you. I don't know how I shall pass my time there."
Baba then inquired, "Does this mean that you felt something with this last order?" Ghani admitted he did, and Baba then told him to write on the notice board:
By Ghani's acknowledging that he is distressed from the beginning, he is forgiven.
