A second person also came forward. He had given the mast laddoos and a rupee coin. Baba forgave him also and embraced him. It was then ascertained that both men had made the offering to the mast before they heard of Baba's instructions, but they did not mention this to Baba. When he learned of it, Baba expressed his pleasure with them.
Lokhande brought his three children onto the dais. They were between four and eight years old and they sang before Baba. Afterward, Baba embraced them.
Vishnu Sharma of Dhagwan made Baba smile with a song full of love.
Next, Rustom Kaka and his wife Silla sang. Their son Manek played the tabla in accompaniment.
Adi had brought a little boy who also sang for Baba, accompanied by Manek on the tabla. Baba embraced all the children, but remarked that from tomorrow no child should be brought on the stage.
Elcha had thought of another clever ploy to receive Baba's embrace. He said, "Baba, I have heard from a very reliable source that if you give me an embrace again today, all your physical suffering will disappear."
Baba's quick retort was: "I love my pain more than you!"
Still, he embraced Elcha.
Baba warned those attending the sahavas that when he dictated discourses the following day, they should not interrupt with excited acclamations of his Jai but try to grasp what was being stated.
Baba concluded, "In my presence, you should behave in a proper manner."
During the program, the men had been sitting on one side of the pandal, and the women on the other. There were hundreds present, and in such a throng, Rhoda Dubash wondered if Baba had noticed her, as she had been sitting at the far back the entire time. Niranjan Singh was sitting opposite her across the aisle.
Moments later, Baba asked over the microphone, "Niranjan Singh, why did you change your seat today? I cannot see you."
Rhoda was taken aback. Although Baba had questioned Niranjan, his remarks seemed directed at her, because Niranjan had not changed his seat that day.
As the train that Manohar and Mona Sakhare were traveling in was about to pass Meherabad, Baba had the sides of the pandal raised so that he could wave to them. Then, before leaving the pandal, Baba sipped a little water, which made him cough. He recalled that the day before, at the same time, he had also coughed while drinking water.
He remarked, "What is the significance of this? It shows that the dark cloud remembers me."
