“”Baba consoled Chari, "I am aware of your circumstances and difficulties, and I also know how you have held fast to me despite all that."
Baba expressed his pleasure to Harjiwan Lal for the work he was doing in his cause in Hamirpur, and also to Was Deo Kain of Delhi. Baba embraced both of them and also embraced Raja Muhammad and his wife.
Referring to the Calcutta devotees, Baba assured them he knew the work they were doing for him and he appreciated it. He embraced A. V. Raghavulu of Calcutta and the meeting came to an end.
“”Calling the Andhra leaders, known as K.D.R.M., to the hall, Baba asked them point-blank, "Is there cooperation and love among you?"
Dhanapathy, Ranga Rao and Mallikarjuna replied affirmatively, whereas Kutumba Sastri could not make up his mind because Baba had asked them to be honest and sincere in their response. In the end, Kutumba Sastri said there was no problem.
“”Baba then told them, "Remember one thing: The time has come. After one year, this body will definitely drop. During this period, show your mettle. This is the time. Millions in the world will do my work when I am no longer here. There is no doubt about my being God Personified. Have love between yourselves and then spread that love to others. I know about your family, financial and other troubles. There is nothing more to tell you. The cloud is near to bursting. As soon as I return from America, you will find what I say has come to pass. Do not tell this to others in the sahavas."
Baba concluded, "This body of yours is a temporary phenomenon. You cannot come to terms with it. But on this physical plane, if you are near me, it is a great thing."
When the four "pillars" of Andhra had left the room, Baba called the close ones from Bombay, Poona, Navsari, Ahmednagar, Nagpur, Dehra Dun and elsewhere. With his own hands, he gave each a copy of Life Circular No. 37 ("Baba's Reminder"), containing instructions for his lovers up to March 1958. Baba directed them to reread the circular, and he impressed upon them the need to sincerely follow the instructions therein. Those recently married and about to be married were exempted from the order about abstaining from any lustful action.
After this, Baba departed for Meherazad.
