5. As and when during these months Baba happens to question anyone, he must answer straight and truthfully, but only about the point or points involved without withholding facts and, at the same time, without taking advantage of the question in order to communicate to Baba anything about anyone else not directly covered by the question from Baba.
6.

7. Mehera and Mani are allowed to call on Baba and enter his rooms once every week. Goher shall not enter Jal Villa premises under any circumstances, except when called by Baba.
8. Anybody known or unknown or an intimate one from any place shall not be allowed to see Baba for any reason under any circumstances.
9. Once the retirement begins, things might happen during the three months that may lead to an official or unofficial disturbance to Baba and, therefore, all concerned shall employ every possible moral and legal means in order to strictly let Baba alone for the duration of the three months ending on July 31, 1955.
10. In case of absolute necessity arising out of emergencies like death, accident, or serious illness of near relatives or dependents, and in case of unavoidable official and legal requirements, one can leave Satara during the period of three months for as few days as possible, after arriving at mutual adjustment of duties with the rest of the mandali.
