What is the use of all these great experiences and seeing of light? One day I will give you the real light and you will be out of the darkness forever! Wouldn't you rather have that?
Baba's mother Shireenmai, his aunt Dowla Masi, his cousin Naja, Gulmai, Daulatmai and her sister Freiny came to Bombay for Baba's birthday celebration. The ladies' lodging arrangement was made on the top floor of the Manzil. Baba vacated his room for them and stayed downstairs with the mandali.
In the evening, finding the food Dowla Masi had cooked insufficient for all, Baba became extremely annoyed. He picked up the jars of pickles and other edibles she had brought to the Manzil and threw them onto the nearby railway tracks! Dowla Masi had prepared rawa with fried raisins, almonds and pure ghee, and had even borrowed the money to prepare all these delicacies. Hers was not a serious mistake, nor had she done it intentionally; but Dowla Masi, nevertheless, fell prey to her nephew's divine wrath.
In a short time, deadly silence reigned in the Manzil, except for Baba's "roaring" and rapid strides back and forth throughout the house. The women and men disappeared in fright, hiding behind the locked doors of their rooms (some under their sheets). Baba was stalking about like a tiger, despite his having fasted for so many days. His extraordinary strength greatly amazed the mandali, especially since he was suffering from dysentery. He finally picked up a flowerpot and hurled it at his aunt. Frightened, the plump woman ran away and bounded over the verandah just as the flowerpot crashed into the railing, barely missing her. Dowla Masi was short and stout — it was amazing to see her hurdle the railing and leap to the ground. Seeing this humorous sight, Baba's mood changed almost as suddenly as it had begun. The situation calmed down. In a tranquil mood, he began smiling and talked lovingly with Dowla Masi and the other women, as if nothing had occurred a few minutes before.
But there had been a reason for the Master's outburst. On the day he fractured his toe, he had told the mandali about Asar Saheb, saying how unlucky he was and that the news of his tragic situation would reach them within a week. This foretelling of misfortune came true when on the same day he became upset with Dowla Masi, they received a letter from Asar.
