Later, Baba asked Elizabeth what Jane was thinking as she sat next to him. Elizabeth replied, "I don't know Baba, but she did not take her eyes from your face the entire time."
Baba continually questioned those already there for information about those who had not yet arrived, inquiring, "When will such-and-such come? ... Are they definitely coming? ... When did you last speak with them? ... When are they expected?" When one after the other said, "I don't know," Baba joked, "I am going to add a new chapter to The Wayfarers, and everyone who answers 'I don't know' will be entered as a mast!"
The group of 25 persons from New York were the last arrivals to be greeted by Baba at around 4:30 P.M. Afterwards, Elizabeth drove Baba to his house, where the mandali also stayed during this visit.
To one of the earliest arrivals, Baba remarked, "I will never return to America again."
When someone said, "Baba, you look wonderful," he replied, "I am in constant pain from my hip and I have a fever, but the divine bliss I constantly experience sustains me."
At Baba's house, the mandali shared the nightwatch in the following shifts:
6:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. — Eruch 10:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M. — Don 12:00 A.M. - 3:00 A.M. — Nariman 3:00 A.M. - 6:00 A.M. — Adi
The Westerners assembled in the Barn on Tuesday morning, 20 May 1958. Baba was carried inside in a lift-chair.
After greeting those who had arrived late the previous day, Baba said: "What is sahavas? It is companionship with God. It means that I come to your level or you rise to my level. We are not on the same level. Either I come to yours or you come up to mine. Sahavas means God becoming human."
Baba mentioned the sahavas at Meherabad and said: "Relax, stretch and be comfortable. Feel at home because I have come down to your level. I want you to be here in spirit as well as physically."
He described the auto accident in India, remarking, "Eruch felt responsible and blamed himself, but nobody is guilty. All was ordained years ago. I am the Ancient One and have taken the suffering of the world upon myself. No one can cure me. Immediately after the accident, I related to Don and others that I would not be able to walk again. The specialists said they would have me walking in six months, but they were wrong ... So you see how God works!"
