When Dr. Kanakadandi Suryanarayana came for Baba's embrace, Baba praised him, "This Dr. Kanakadandi is our everything — doctor, cook, servant, lover, everything!"
When Baba sipped a little water at 5:00 P.M., he again coughed.
He commented, "Even in the first group I got this cough at this hour. Who is remembering me?"
Eruch said that when Baba put this question to the first group, they could not answer. But Baba repeated that it was the "impending dark cloud" that remembers him.
