Followed by the sahavas group, Baba began ascending the hill, flinging pebbles to either side as he went. Shrimant G. G. Buty of Nagpur (Buty Saheb's son) was walking barefooted, because he had lost his shoes. Baba noticed this and asked about it. Seeing Baba's concern for the boy, Kumar took off his shoes and gave them to Buty, which pleased Baba.
For a few moments, Baba was merged in himself, his hands moving rapidly in different directions. On reaching the hill, unlike on previous occasions, Baba took the group straight to his Tomb and, as instructed, Dhake said a few words in Marathi explaining the significance of Baba's final resting place. Turn by turn, every man took darshan of the samadhi as Baba watched. After all had taken darshan and come out, Baba himself came out and locked the door of the Tomb.
Bhaiya Panday, the photographer from Ahmednagar, had been called, and he took over 20 shots of Baba with different small groups. Baba then led the group to the Meher Retreat building. There under the tin shed, the Marathi sahavas group sat on a carpet, and Baba sat in a chair and narrated to them about the Prem Ashram, his seclusion in the Tomb and other activities of Meherabad in the early days.
In conclusion, Baba observed, "It is your great fortune that I myself brought you to my last resting place. After 60 years, this place will be a world center of pilgrimage."
Thereafter, at 9:30 A.M., accompanied by the group, Baba walked back to lower Meherabad, where he met the women villagers of Kup Bhalwani near the dhuni. Among them was a leper whom Baba had told to sit near the dhuni. Going to him, Baba placed his hand on his head. Baba then sat in the pandal, and the male villagers of Kup Bhalwani began taking his darshan and singing bhajans for him.
It was past eleven o'clock, and upon Baba's request everyone went for lunch. At 12:30 P.M., after their meal, Baba began giving personal interviews to those who had not had one yet. This lasted until 2:15, when the bell was rung summoning the group to the hall.
