Because of her faith in Meher Baba as a Master, Gulmai also continued to be harassed at home by her in-laws, who did not believe in his divine attainment. When the situation became intolerable, Gulmai would weep while secluding herself in a special prayer room where Upasni Maharaj had stayed while visiting her. One day her in-laws ridiculed her terribly. On that very same day, at Manzil-e-Meem, Baba told Adi and Gustadji that he was very angry with Adi's father, and that Gulmai would be coming to see him within eight days. And she did arrive exactly on the eighth day.
On one occasion, while Gulmai was present, Baba turned to Gustadji and said, "As I see all things, my heart sinks!"
Gulmai requested a clarification, but Baba refused to explain himself. He then asked her what she had been doing on a certain day in the recent past. She remembered that it was the day when she had wept while looking at his photograph. She tried to evade a reply. He gazed at her and asked, "Were you looking at my photograph?" She nodded affirmatively, and then he asked, "How many tears did you shed on my behalf!" She evaded his eyes and kept her head bowed.
Her son, Adi, interjected, "That was the same day when Baba told us that he was very upset with Father."
Baba smiled at her, softly saying, "I see you in Adi's eyes. He is the frame, and you are the image inside."
The following day was Id, a holy day in honor of Prophet Muhammad, and a celebration was held. Munshiji brought a white kafni with lace for Baba to wear. The Master looked magnificent in it. Seeing Gustadji's torn shirt, Baba told Gulmai to repair it, but Gustadji would not let her. Baba later told her, "Never mind what he says. If you sew for Gustadji, it is tantamount to doing service for me."
After a few moments of silence, Baba asked Gulmai, "Do you know what I did just now?" She said no.
Baba said, "No one knows what I am doing even at this moment."
Gulmai answered, "Nothing of what you are doing is apparent to me."
"It is my work which no one can understand," he replied.
On one occasion, while placing his hand on a light switch, he told Gulmai, "Look, the bulb is connected by a wire to the switch.
