Baba asked Ramkripal, "Is this the sort of love you have for me? Are you prepared to die for me?"
The boy nodded and Baba embraced him.
Sribhai's brother-in-law came to meet Baba. Introducing him, Keshav said he was a highly successful businessman, whereas Sribhai was a spendthrift.
So Baba had Sribhai sent for and teased him, "I have just heard from Keshav that your brother-in-law earns money while you fritter it away! What is this?"
Sribhai answered, "Baba, it is only you who make us prosperous, or ruin us!"
Addressing all, Baba remarked, "Sribhai is my old lover and his love is as strong as ever. Pukar says Sribhai accidentally started a fire and, due to his negligence, medicines worth Rs.5,000 were lost in it. But what Sribhai has done is worth more than five crores [50 million]! He presented to me the very infinitesimal portion of the makardhwaj [ayurvedic] medicine saved from the fire he had prepared. It is invaluable!"
In spite of Baba's clear instructions, a few men came twice for darshan and Baba pardoned them.
At intervals, Baba would stop the singing and stretch his legs. One person offered a new piece of khadi cloth to Baba, who accepted it and wiped his face with it.
When Adi Dubash came forward for darshan, Baba asked him, "How is it you were not seen until now?"
He called Minoo Kharas, and both Minoo and Adi took darshan and had an embrace.
When R. D. Bahuguna of Delhi approached, Baba punned, "I was bahurupya [a street performer who assumes different roles, for instance, one day a man, the next a woman], but now I have become bahuguna [one with many attributes]!"
Baba asked K. K. Ramakrishnan, "What did you have for breakfast and lunch?"
Ramakrishnan could not reply, so one of the Poona group answered for him.
Baba, who had eaten nothing, quipped, "I am full of love."
During the darshan Baba seemed to be his congenial self and free from pain. But, although he appeared hale and hearty, in fact, he had fever and was in constant pain.
Dagdulal L. Kasat of Satara came for Baba's darshan and introduced himself as the one who had applied plaster to Baba's leg after the auto accident in 1956.
