Introducing Manu Jessawala, Baba commented she was Eruch's sister. He pardoned her for coming for darshan, commenting that it was not the time for his close ones to take darshan.
Referring to the Jessawala family, Baba remarked, "All are gems," and praised the Satha and Damania families also.
On seeing Rhoda M. Irani of Poona, Baba commented, "This lady used to ride all the way from Poona to Meherabad on her bicycle to have my darshan."
She had first met Baba at Meherazad in 1946.
When asking Bachoobhai, the leader of the Navsari singing group, how he was, Baba urged him to look after his health.
In reference to Dina Talati, Baba stated, "Her young son died recently in London. He had heart disease. As he was dying, despite terrible pain, he kept repeating my name. After receiving the news, his mother Dina did not shed tears, but was happy that her son had departed with my name on his lips."
About Arnavaz, Baba remarked, "Here is another jewel. She is the wife of Nariman Dadachanji, and all the family are my lovers for the last 20 years."
In regard to Nargis, Baba commented, "She is Naoroji Dadachanji's [other] daughter. The whole family loves me. Her two brothers died young, but they died taking my name."
Pilamai's niece, Perin Irani of Lahore had come with her two daughters, one of whom was crippled. Both the mother and daughter could not bow down and, standing before Baba, she burst out weeping. Rising from his chair, Baba embraced her and her daughters lovingly and then sat down.

At 12:15 P.M. the women's darshan was over and Baba asked them to go for their lunch. As the men started filing into the tent, Baba stood up and had three of the mandali hold up a carpet, partially shielding him as he urinated. He took almost ten minutes to do so and while doing so, he seemed deep in his work.
Greeting K. M. Madon of Poona, Baba remarked, recalling events at the 1955 Sahavas, "All should be on their guard about him. He gets up at 3:00 A.M. and applies his Wonder Balm to the eyes of those at the sahavas, which is a remedy for 101 diseases. You won't get sleep! This he does with a view to keeping the lovers awake in Baba's presence!"
