Showing the true measure of love for and faith in Baba, Dina did not shed a tear and consoled her daughter. Eruch brought them to Ashiana at about 11:30 A.M. On the way, they stopped and picked up Dina's other daughter, Jeroo Mody. Jeroo also burst into tears when she heard the news. Eruch had to stop the car, and he told her, "Look I will have to take you back if you don't stop crying, as Baba has said, he will see you all only if you don't cry."
At Ashiana, Baba assured them, "Be happy, Curshed is not dead — he lives in me. Curshed has carried out my instructions to the very last. In his last moments, with my name continuously on his lips, he has come to me. Now that he is happy near me, you too should be pleased."
Dina remarked, "He is so fortunate, Baba."
Baba asked her, "Do you want to cry?"

"Cry as much as you want now," he said, "but not hereafter."
Jeroo and Perviz began weeping, but Dina remained stouthearted.

Her late husband Naval was an intimate follower of Baba, and all three children had played on Baba's lap from childhood.
It was thought best for Dina and Perviz to spend the night with Nargis Dadachanji in Dadar. The next morning Baba was informed that Dina was sitting in a dazed condition. Alu Khambatta was with her and was trying to induce her to cry and release her pent-up sadness. Dina would only answer, "Baba has told us not to cry." Baba gestured to inform her he would be coming immediately.
He arrived and Dina came out to his car to meet him. Perviz was ordered to stay inside. Dina garlanded Baba with flowers and confessed, "My only regret, Baba, was that I sent Curshed to England in the first place ..."
