Baba continued fasting, sipping a little sherbet only.
When they changed trains at Hyderabad (Sind), a confusing incident occurred. The ticket inspector insisted on weighing all the luggage, in spite of their entreaties to persuade him otherwise. The stationmaster then came and he, too, insisted that the bedding rolls be opened, reiterating that all the luggage must be weighed and inspected. At this, Baba told Ramjoo to give him a copy of Upasni Maharaj's Urdu biography. Looking closely at Baba's photograph inside the book, the stationmaster was deeply impressed and relieved them of the aggravation. Although the men carried only their bare necessities, it was the considerable amount of the women's luggage that aroused the inspector's attention.
They arrived at Ahmedabad on 27 June at 9:30 P.M., and Sadashiv, Asthma and Vajifdar were there to meet them at the station. Baba sent Sarosh with Gulmai, Khorshed, and Soonamasi to Ahmednagar along with the trunks. He advised Khorshed and Soonamasi to stay in Ahmednagar until he sent for them to come to Bombay. Baba then had a private meeting with Sadashiv, Asthma and Vajifdar on the station platform. He ordered Sadashiv to return to Poona the next day with the particular kafni which had been sewn for him in Quetta. In addition, Sadashiv was to take Vajifdar's suit, shoes and hat with him and deliver them to Vajifdar's house in Bombay. According to Baba's conditions, the men could not wear anything else except the pajamas, shirt and kafni.
In Ahmedabad, Slamson arranged for the group's stay in a Parsi dharamshala. But the problem of lodging the three others — Babu Cyclewalla, Ramjoo and Barsoap — cropped up, since only Zoroastrians were allowed to stay in the dharamshala. Ramjoo spoke Gujarati, so he was okay; Barsoap, being a Muslim, was passed off as an Irani and told to avoid speaking. Baba quickly solved the problem of Babu Cyclewalla by claiming to the man in charge of the rest house that Babu was their servant. Hence, they were allowed to stay along with the others.
On the morning of 28 June, Baba canceled his order of fasting for both Gustadji and Behramji and permitted them to eat two meals a day along with the other mandali. But he did not discontinue his own fast, sipping only sherbet once in 24 hours. That afternoon, Baba, accompanied by the mandali, went sightseeing in Ahmedabad.
Asthma had explained to Baba that his parents had not given consent for him to join the journey. This was the reason why, in Quetta, Baba kept insisting Asthma return home; he wanted Asthma's father appeased.
