He further warned, "No one should express resentment toward the slogans, nor should anyone disturb [confront] the boys in any way. All of you should remain peaceful and cheerfully face the situation. As I am in all, I am in them, too! As I enjoy the cheers from my devotees, so also I enjoy simultaneously the amusing slogans from others. Those who cheer me and those who jeer at me are both equally ignorant. The ignorance of one is a pleasure, whereas the ignorance of another is amusing. No one is at fault; none knows me as I am."
He concluded, "Remember that they, too, are repeating my name when they shout the slogans. It suffices when one remembers me, whether it be through devotion or derision. They are innocent. Let them shout. I am enjoying it very much."
The Parsi boys continued shouting until finally they grew tired. Not a trace of resentment was noticed from Baba's devotees after his enlightening explanation. Everyone was calm, unopposing and cheerful.
While the boys dispersed, the crowd still eagerly awaited another chance of having Baba's darshan. The slogans, as it were, had stirred devotion in those hearts which were truly genuine, and evoked greater love for Baba. They yearned patiently for one final glimpse of Baba before going. Touched by their love, Baba agreed to give them darshan while sitting in his suite. The public was conducted to the room in a queue. They were asked not to stop near Baba but look at him for a few moments and move out in quick succession. Thus hundreds more had Baba's darshan "by sight."
Since there were so many coming for his darshan, and since Baba would call them into the house and permit them to see him every half hour, the Desai family, Minoo, his wife Bapai, their daughter Meher, and Bapai's sister Homai requested that Baba leave Meher Cottage after his meal, saying they would arrange somewhere else for Baba to sleep so that he would be able to rest properly.
At 8:00 P.M., when the family and the mandali had finished their dinner, Baba took a stick in his hand and approached the family members, gesturing to them, "Get out immediately, or else I will beat you and throw you out!"
Baba began swinging the stick menacingly, and made the whole Desai family leave. However, they were quite pleased because the person for whom Meher Cottage was built — namely Baba himself — had established his proprietary right. This is an example of what love the Desai family had for Baba, even though they had to spend a sleepless night in a broken-down shack with no blankets to ward off the cold.
