After visiting the houses of his Arangaon lovers, Baba came to the Family Quarters where Walu, Sidhu's wife Radha, Bhagu, Jangle, Mukta and their children performed his arti. Because of the sahavas congregation in Meherabad, the masts Mohammed and Ali Shah were being kept there. When Baba met with the two masts, Mohammed caught Baba by the hand and said, "Dada, take me to Satara."
Pendu informed Baba that Mohammed was not eating.
Mohammed said, "I am taking food, Dada; Pendu is telling a lie!" Baba laughed at the mast's remark.
Baba returned to Meherabad with the sahavas group at about 5:30 P.M. He inquired about Niranjan Singh's health and advised him to continue Padri's treatment. Baba then went to his cabin, where he discussed matters with Nariman, who had just returned from Bombay. Nariman informed Baba that all the Bombay lovers were highly gratified with their week of sahavas. They had absorbed his love and the effect of its Wine had not yet lessened.1
At 6:00 P.M., Eruch brought the car near the cabin, and Baba left for Meherazad amid shouts of his Jai!
The next morning, Tuesday, 22 November 1955, Baba arrived at Meherabad at 7:40 A.M., and after conversing with Pendu, Padri and Vishnu in his cabin for an hour, he came into the hall. As usual, he asked those who had not slept the night before to stand. Some rose and gave various reasons of indisposition for their sleeplessness.
Baba advised them, "If you cannot sleep, do not worry. Two or three hours of sleep is sufficient. Try to sleep, and don't chase it away by unnecessary thoughts. But if in spite of your efforts you cannot sleep, don't worry."
Because Was Deo Kain was nursing Niranjan Singh, he had not slept. Baba embraced him.
Raisaheb Ramashankar said, "I dreamt last night that my head was chopped off, and I was still alive!"
Baba commented wryly, "If in the awake state you become headless and yet live, it will be a superb thing!"
Vishnu of Dhagwan said, "I too dreamt last night. I was singing bhajans when I saw Baba and those accompanying him falling down. I was frightened, but immediately afterwards, I saw Baba sitting in the hall on his chair."
Baba remarked, "It was good that you saw others falling along with me. When I rise up, I will rise with all. When I break my silence, all will rise. This is true."
