After a few moments, Baba added, "You are always with me, and your wife, with two small children, is living in a remote village. Not once, in several years, has she made a request to send you there, and when she rarely does write, she says she is happy and content. Do you see how she helps you? She has love for me, and the children are mine. They are not yours, so have no concern for whatever I do for them. If you have thoughts, then it is your attachment; if you have no thoughts, then it is love. Even now, do you want to follow me or not?"
Smiling, Bhau replied, "I want to follow you, Baba."
Baba then questioned, "How long has it been since you have written to Rama?"
"Six months," Bhau replied.
"Six months?! Never in my life have I come across such a madcap as you! Why don't you write to her? Write her about me — my activities. Is she not my lover? You write to so many others, why not to her? This shows that due to attachment you take them to be yours. If you take Rama to be a lover of mine, then you would write to her as lovingly as you write to others. There is no harm in writing her. It is due to your attachment. So try to love her, because love is without attachment."
Baba ordered, "Go and send the telegram to Nana, and write to Rama once a month. I have much love for her."
So Bhau sent a telegram to Nana Kher, who promptly proceeded to the village. Everything had already been done about Sheela's treatment, but Rama felt much consoled by having Nana there. By Baba's nazar, Sheela recovered after being bedridden for six months, and although very young, she continuously called on Baba for his help.
Meanwhile, Bhau's "pupil" Ismail was having the time of his life, still being pampered like a prince. Bhau would lead him to Grafton every day where he was proffered with delicious things to eat by Baba, after which, Bhau would attempt to make him study his lessons.
