Cowas answered, "I will not feel sorry because I want to carry out your wish — which is my life's fast and only penance. There is no question of my will."
Baba was highly pleased but did not agree to his request. Later, when Cowas returned home, he realized it would have been impossible for him to have fasted, since his wife was vehemently against it. Cowas had been in Baba's contact since the darshan in Surat in 1947, but his wife did not believe in Baba. However, when she came in his contact three years later (at the Meherabad Sahavas in 1958), she was completely transformed.
Baba played a game of seven tiles with some of the men in the sahavas group. Afterward, Haribhai Patel sang a few songs. Baba then asked Hoshang to sing. He did not know how but managed as best he could. Baba selected others who did not have a voice, such as Meherjee, Keki Nalavala, Darabshah, and others, and their "singing" was thoroughly enjoyed.
Baba left for Meherazad in the evening.
On Sunday , 6 November 1955, Baba arrived at Meherabad at 7:00 A.M. After a discussion with the mandali, he entered the hall at 7:50, where the sahavas group had already gathered. Eruch was reading Baba's hand signs and gestures while being on his feet the whole day. Generally, Baba would wear his pink coat and long sadra, his hair combed back into a pigtail tucked within his coat.
Age recorded, "Baba looked quite beautiful, incomparable really, and from every pore of his body flowed the Wine of love. His eyes dazzled and penetrated every heart. The soft rays emitted by his glance created deep wounds which would never heal."
Baba asked, "How do I look?"
Several men said he looked radiant.
Baba commented, "I did not sleep at all last night, yet you say I look splendid and blissful!"
Baba asked about those who had not slept well. A few stood up, among them Adi Dubash and Minoo Kharas of Karachi.
Baba joked, "I don't believe you. Last night, I was out on a survey of worldwide conditions when I found both of you snoring loudly!"
Winking at Kohiyar, who had slept near them, Baba asked, "Tell the truth. Were these two sleeping last night or not?"
Kohiyar said, "Baba, they were snoring so dreadfully loud that I couldn't sleep! I have never come across such loud snorers!" All roared with laughter.
