Keshav Nene, Gulabdas Panchal and Kishore Mistry came forward, and Baba asked them to sing two devotional songs.
Those gathered were sitting very close to Baba, causing him to joke, "The Spaceless One needs some space!"
Everyone moved back as the Bombay group sang. As they were singing, Baba picked up the garlands by his side and put them around his neck again.
When the singing was over, Baba stated, "After nine o'clock, none should come to me, bow down to me, embrace me or take my picture. This time I have invited some select ones through whom my 'Universal Message' will be spread throughout the world. Listen to it carefully and take it in with all your heart."
Keshav Nigam presented to Baba two recent copies of the Hindi magazine Meher Pukar.
Baba inquired about the sleep and health of some, and remarked to Shantadevi, "Last night, after a long time, I finally slept well. I feel very rested and peaceful here."
Bachoobhai of Navsari began to sing a bhajan. While he was singing, Haribhai Patel of Bajwa, in an outburst of emotion, began loudly singing in unison. Patel's singing was so loud it made Baba laugh.
Regarding Bachoobhai, Baba observed, "Besides being a good singer, he is also my good lover. And Dr. Bharucha has saved him from falling prey to consumption."
Introducing Keshav, Baba stated, "He is the chief worker of Hamirpur District, and we have selected some gems from the whole district."
Baba asked all from Hamirpur to stand. They included Bhavani Prasad, Laxmichand Paliwal, Gaya Prasad Khare and Babu Ramprasad.
Baba declared, "They go from door to door and sing my praises. When they meet, they greet each other with Jai Baba! The whole district is flooded with my love, and even the children shout Jai Baba!"
With much devotion, Keshav read his Meher Chalisa poem . Madhusudan then sang Baba's Hindi arti with the Poona bhajan group.
Baba repeated, "No garlanding, no bowing down, no embracing, no taking photographs after nine o'clock. I wish you to be absolutely 100 percent attentive to what I am going to tell you."
He then asked, "Who couldn't sleep last night?"
Several put up their hands, and Baba inquired the reasons. Dr. Dhanapathy Rao said he could not explain his sleeplessness; Niranjan Singh said he could not sleep because it was not his usual time of retiring. Pritam Singh said he had a bad cold and had not been able to do the repetition at midnight.
Baba made him repeat the sentence "Beloved God, Thy Will has come to pass!" seven times in his presence and commented, "He is my very old lover."
