“”Upon embracing Nana Kher, Baba stated, "He is from Nagpur. There is no silent worker like him."
Pankhraj was behind Nana, and Baba commented, "This is Pankhraj, and he too is a good worker from Nagpur. And the sardar [leader] of both is Dr. Deshmukh, who is very intelligent, loving and clever. He will come tomorrow."
When all the men had finished taking darshan, Aloba approached.
“”Baba admonished him, "Has any of the Meherabad or Meherazad mandali come here for darshan?"
Aloba shook his head no.
“”"Then why have you?" Before he could reply, Baba remarked, "Aloba is a truly sincere lover of mine, but he has so much love that he forgets to obey my orders!"
Baba then remarked to the gathering, "Drink deep at the fountain of love, but don't lose consciousness. If you taste even a drop of this love, what a wonderful experience you will have!"
When Bal Natu approached, Baba asked him, "Are you taking notes of the proceedings, and if not, what are you doing?"
Bal said that Pendu had utilized his services for something else.
“”Baba gestured, "It is impossible to introduce one and all. All are true loving workers."
Suddenly, Mukundlal Nigam threw himself at Baba's feet and would not get up despite much persuasion.
“”Baba asked his younger brother, Dr. Devendra Nigam, to see whether he was alive or dead, and smilingly remarked, "If he is dead, all the better as in that case he would come to me!"
Finally, Baba asked Mukundlal Nigam to leave the dais and he got up. Before leaving, Baba explained to him how real love consists in silently burning within, not outwardly showing it and appearing pious.
Sadashiv L. Lokhande of Nagpur applied attar (scented oil) to Baba's feet.
“”Referring to him, Baba observed, "He is very lucky. His whole family loves me."
Meherdas had walked to Meherabad from Hamirpur for the sahavas, a journey of over 1,000 miles, which had taken him 40 days.
“”Baba asked him, "Is it really true about the dead child coming alive when he was placed on your lap? You sang kirtans to me and the child came back alive?"
Meherdas replied, "Baba, it is so. Who can lie to you?"
“”Baba advised him, "In the future do not do such acts, as ultimately it is not beneficial."
