Ghani quipped, "In that case you should call it Hyrangaon [Hardship village] instead of Arangaon."
Baba then explained that the connection with those whom he would send away would remain as it was at present, and he might call anyone back to him at any time in the future. Each man promised to remain faithful to him.
Those whom he had decided to send back to their homes received the following instructions: "From among the seven special orders, continue to follow orders 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7."
These orders were:
1. To follow to the letter the spiritual instructions given by me.
2. To keep or break the special connection with one other man or more than one from the group or otherwise that I order.
3. To totally abstain for twelve months from alcoholic drinks or intoxicating substances, as well as sexual intercourse, except when allowed by me with your legal wife.
4. To eat, drink and dress in accordance with the other residents in the house. To avoid eating fish, meat and eggs under any circumstances.
7. Under no circumstances to give up my company, even if one finds that the whole world turns against me, except when ordered to leave me.
"From among the 28 general orders, continue following 1,9,13,14,18,19, and 25."
These orders were:
1. Baths should be taken daily. After a haircut, an extra bath is permitted.
9. Eating less than to your full satisfaction is strictly prohibited. Report the reason for your inability to eat despite hunger and, also, in the case of no appetite after accepting food.
13. Lies, abusive language and ill feelings toward one another are not allowed [to the extent of breaking my order].
14. Do not read books, newspapers, magazines and anyone else's letters.
18. In order to avoid impure actions, do not touch anyone while having sexual thoughts. Avoid vulgar stories and other such topics of conversation.
19. Do not touch any girl except your mother or sisters.
25. Before going to sleep, cover your ears with a piece of cloth or put cotton in them.
On 31 March, Baba sent away most of the mandali and remained with a very few in the Manzil. Ramjoo and Ghani were sent to Lonavla for a month to visit their families.
Partitions made of gunny sacks had been installed in the Manzil to make individual rooms for the mandali. But, after the departure of most of the men, the partitions were taken down.
