Meanwhile, Bhaiya Panday was snapping his camera every few minutes, whereupon Baba lamented, "This Panday will not let me be at ease. In Andhra, too, there was one young boy [P. Narayana Swamy] who followed me from place to place and took over a thousand photos of me."
Baba and the group then walked toward the Tomb. Baba pointed out the east room where he had sat in seclusion in the Water Tank Building. From there, they proceeded toward his Tin Cabin. Baba had been in seclusion there, too, and told of how the dog Chum used to keep watch, not allowing even the mandali to approach. A cow used to come nearby to graze, but she, too, was barked away. Baba said he used to feed Chum from his own food.
Then the gathering was led in groups of ten into the Tomb, where Baba stood with Eruch all the while. Eruch, in a few words, explained how Baba had secluded himself here for about six months in 1927, and how Lahu, who used to bring Baba's coffee twice in 24 hours, drank half of the quantity himself while on his way to the crypt.
After this, the group was taken to the bamboo cage-room where, in 1940–41, Baba was in the strictest seclusion possible, not even allowing his shadow to be seen by any of the mandali. Without seeing Baba, Vishnu alone was allowed to read the alphabet board from a small window in the bamboo screen.
Baba descended the hill at about 4:15 P.M. In the hall, Ravikant Rawal continued his tale about the four thieves, and Adi K. Arjani, 41, of Karachi also narrated one. Baba expounded upon the dedication, obedience and love of Elizabeth, Norina, Kitty and others from the West.
He then remarked to Darabshah Oomrigar, "Twist my ears [punishment usually meted out to a naughty child]!"
Oomrigar was heavyset and stood up with difficulty.
"Did you have more cream last night?" Baba asked with a twinkle.
Oomrigar smiled and caught Baba's ears.
Baba was pleased and stated, "Obedience is not easy. You all come to me with folded hands and then leave. This is your love. But obedience is quite different. It is not so easy. If I tell you now to walk on the road completely naked, it would be difficult for you to do."
