"What have you to do if Sadashiv is my longtime lover — he may even be my father! — of what concern is it to you? Are you here to think about such things, or to obey me? You are a kaccha [unbaked; raw, inexperienced] pot and cannot be trusted! You think of others, never of me. You are strangling me! What sort of love is this?"
Bhau acknowledged his mistake and Baba forgave him.
Good Friday was on 4 April 1958. That morning, Baba suddenly expressed that he wanted to be driven to Udtara to visit the site of the second automobile accident.
"See that you take me to the exact spot, but be careful not to cross beyond the accident spot," he warned Kohiyar, who was driving.
Eruch, Bhau, Savak and Jalbhai went with them.
Kohiyar later related: "Stopping a few feet before the spot, Baba ordered us to get out of the car. Baba then hobbled along and across the road to and fro, some three times, as if to draw an imaginary border line. He stated, 'I do not want to step even a single step from here to the Satara side.' Baba pointed out the field on the opposite side of the accident spot where he had played cricket with the mandali."
After slowly pacing up and down on the road, Baba returned to Mahabaleshwar.
Kohiyar was to manage Shapoor Hall as a guest house after Baba's departure. One day Baba asked him why he had not hung a picture of Baba in the reception office and placed some of Baba's books and literature there. Kohiyar had been doing so at other places he managed, but was reluctant to do so again after he saw one of the guests use a Baba pamphlet to clean up her infant child's "accident."
Kohiyar explained, "After I saw your literature being used as toilet paper, I decided it was useless to put your pamphlet or picture in public places."
Baba replied, "Why get upset over these petty things? A time will come when you will see my pictures in the filthiest places, in back alleys even. It will be on [postage] stamps badly defaced, on matchboxes, and on the labels of cheap brands of food. So why be disturbed? I also live in the filthiest of places and am in the filthiest of things."
