While darshan for the men was going on, since it was past lunchtime, Baba asked the women to go for their lunch and then return. He intended to be finished with the men by that time. The women had taken over an hour, but the men continued pouring in, and it took almost four hours before every man had met Baba.
Despite Baba's asking, several women remained seated in the tent, and he warned them, "I want you to feel free and be at home, but you should also do as I tell you."
When Abdul Majid Khan, wearing a long overcoat, approached, Baba asked him, "Is it snowing outside?"
After his embrace, Baba reminded him, "I am the Lord of the Universe."
Dwarka Prasad Srivastava of Rath brought a bottle of water with which he washed Baba's feet, and then collected the water back in the vial. Adarsh Khare helped him and kept a little for himself.
Haripant R. Rakhelkar of Osmanabad presented a bundle of papers to Baba with the word BABA written all over them, which his father had sent. Baba kept the papers beside him.
G. K. Dharmadhikari of Betul was walking away after taking darshan, but on Eruch's remarking that he had found out about Baba through Bhau, he was called back and given another embrace.
Baba rested a few moments; however, his fingers were moving constantly. He asked the Poona bhajan group when they would start singing and one of the men broke into song. Gadekar then joined in and, with his eyes closed, began a bhajan. But Baba stopped him after a while, and the Poona group began singing. For several minutes, Baba stopped giving darshan and concentrated on the singing, remarking to Keshav Nigam (sitting beside him) how well Madhusudan composes bhajans. Baba frequently clapped his hands in time, and all present joined in. After fifteen minutes, the darshan resumed amidst the singing.
When Sripat Sahai approached, he offered his "flower," a poem of welcome to Baba, which Baba heard before giving him darshan.
He then asked, "Have you brought the medicine?"
Sahai immediately produced a bottle of ayurvedic tonic and, handing it to Baba, said, "When the Lord suffers, this medicine is prescribed."
To which Baba retorted, "When, without medicine, the denizens of the three worlds dance in the palm of my hand, what would happen if I take the minutest dose?"
