While walking around their neighborhood, Baba suddenly went and sat on a raised platform outside the hut of a poor old man, who was sitting there alone. Baba sat beside him. The man immediately rushed into his house and brought a tattered gunny sack for Baba to sit on. Baba remained next to him for a few minutes, but did not say anything. The poor man was simply dumbfounded at Baba's surprise visit, and when Baba stood up to leave, the man bowed at his feet in reverence.
Next, Baba visited the home of another poor couple, but the wife was standing inside all alone. Her husband had not yet returned from work, and she was wondering what to do. When Baba entered her hut, she was so taken aback she remained standing like a statue. Before she could do anything to properly receive him, Baba smiled at her and quickly left.
After walking through the marketplace, Baba reached Dahyabhai's home, and there everyone enjoyed a sumptuous feast. However, Baba took only his usual rice and dal. After the meal, his lovers surrounded him in his room, and Haribhai sang more of his Gujarati compositions. Baba applauded Haribhai's love and expressed his satisfaction at the success of his visit.
It was past 8:30 P.M., and Baba indicated that it was time to leave. Embracing his lovers, Baba left for Baroda by car. Buses were provided for the mandali and others, and a few lovers from Bajwa accompanied them.
In Baroda, Baba visited the Sai Baba Center, and also the home of one of his lovers, named Contractor, upon his personal request. From there, he left for the train station. But when they arrived, Baba suddenly expressed his wish to drive into the city, and went and sat in the car again. Hoshang Bharucha was with him, and Baba mentioned to the driver which way to go. After fifteen minutes of driving here and there, Baba said his work was done and they returned to the station. Hoshang could make neither head nor tail of Baba's strange request and was thinking about it.
Baba smiled and explained, "I wanted to contact a mast, and I contacted him while driving past him in the car."
