Baba entered the hall ten minutes later. Abdur Rehman sang a few ghazals, after which everyone went for lunch.
In the afternoon personal and group interviews were held.
Baba urged Was Deo Kain: "Live your life in such a way that this love and truth and honesty shine out from you like a crystal, so that people will know about me even without your uttering a word."
Rama Kalchuri's brother, Dhiraj, was called.
Baba asked him about Rama and Bhau's children, advising him, "Bhau is always with me, so carefully look after Rama, Sheela and Mehernath, and see that they are not put to any trouble. You may now depart for home with this group."
Dhiraj had been called to Meherabad for a month as one of the workers, but he returned home, according to Baba's order. A week later, when a family emergency suddenly arose, he understood why he had been sent back early.
After the interviews were over, Baba was driven back to Meherazad at 5:00 P.M.
The next morning, Wednesday, 23 November 1955, Baba arrived at Meherabad at 7:30 A.M. He met with the mandali for half an hour in his cabin, and then went to the hall. As usual, he asked those who could not sleep the night before to stand up and state the reason. Pritam Singh said, "Baba, you did not permit me to sleep! When Baba is awake the whole night, how could I sleep?" This pleased Baba, and he embraced Pritam Singh.
Bal Kisan Bakhshi's son, Lal, said, "I was remembering the pleasant times we had when you were in Dehra Dun, and so I could not sleep." He was weeping as he spoke, and Baba embraced him also.
One man said he lost sleep because they had been asked to leave Meherabad on the 24th instead of the 25th. "With the greatest difficulty, I managed to come and get leave [from his job] to stay with Baba until the 25th. The thought of leaving a day early has robbed me of sleep."
Baba assured him, "You may stay here until the 25th, but I will not come here that day. I have to attend to other things in between the departure of this group and the arrival of another. Now that you have already passed a sleepless night over your intention, it is equal to your staying with me on the 25th."
Nanak Chand said, "In truth, I slept well but I stood up hoping to have Baba's embrace!" Everyone laughed, and Baba embraced him.
Adarsh Khare declared that because he was thinking of Baba, he could not sleep.
Baba asked his father Gaya Prasad, "Did you sleep?"
