A devotee's wife, after agreeing to attend the sahavas and accordingly filling in the form, suddenly died.
Baba asked the man, "Why worry about her passing? Take me as your wife and marry me."
Replying to a group leader's remark that the man was of an emotional nature, Baba observed, "Who says emotion is bad? What is wrong with emotional love? In its own way emotion is good, but love is something else — quite different from emotion."
Lovers from Bengal beseeched Baba to visit them and bless the followers of Sadguru Ramakrishna in Calcutta by giving them darshan.
Replying, Baba asked, "Why do you want me there? I am already there, always. I am everywhere. It is I who speak through you, and it is I who hear through you. My going or not going to any place is quite immaterial."
One man presented Baba with a photograph of Baba which Baba touched to his forehead, as a sign of worshiping himself in it.
Introducing Haribhai Patel of Bajwa, Baba remarked, "He is a great lover and worker in Gujarat. He has composed many Gujarati songs in praise of me."
At 4:00 P.M. when the meeting with the sahavas group was about to conclude, Baba stated: "Attention please. When everyone has met and embraced me, all should come and sit quietly in the pandal for the arti. Then I will leave for Meherazad and will return tomorrow morning. I am not well, and if I get fever, I may not be able to come the remaining days. So you should allow me to rest after today's strenuous program. From tomorrow none should try to meet or seek interviews with me, or to come up on the dais unless, of course, I on my own call that person. On the 25th only, you should all take my darshan again — by garlanding and touching my feet. No embrace that day."
Baba then introduced the late Gustadji's brothers, Homi and Slamson, saying, "None can introduce those at the sahavas; only I know them!"
Gustadji's niece and nephew also came, and Baba was happy to see them.
Mallikarjuna Rao of Andhra presented Baba with two new books about Baba written in Telugu.
Koduri Krishna Rao, after embracing Baba, seemed dazed. Only "Baba ... Baba ... Baba ..." was he uttering.
