Recalling the game of atya-patya, Baba asked Dhake to explain its rules to those present, which he did.
Baba added, "In this game, if some outsider obstructs a player, he is called manus-ghan [a dirty man] and the term can well be applied to Rawal!"
Baba asked him, "Did you follow what I just said?"
Rawal shook his head no.
Baba commented, "You are full of fat but no brains!"
He asked Adi Sr. and Burjor Mehta to take Rawal outside and explain it to him.
When they returned, Baba addressed Rawal, "Your action displeased me, but you are not to blame for it. Only Baba is to be blamed."
After a while, on Baba's asking, Eruch recited the Prayer of Repentance and afterwards, Baba stated:
Now I will give you my final message and suggestion. Thereafter, my final discourse will be read to you. How lucky you are that you have the opportunity to hear the Avatar's last message and last discourse in his presence. After this, you will not have to listen to any more messages or discourses from the Avatar. So try to pay close attention to them. After leaving, inform my lovers about everything that took place here. Spread my last message far and wide. Try to give this message to all, irrespective of whether one believes in me or not. It is universal and for all.
After nine o'clock, you are not to touch my feet nor bow down to me, nor are you to acclaim me, nor when I leave after finishing my work are you to follow me.
From the 14th of July to the 30th of November [1958], no one should try to see me or any of my mandali at Meherazad or Meherabad, or to correspond with me or them. No one should send me telegrams under any circumstances, even in the case of the greatest trouble or anyone's death. I have also instructed Adi not to come to Meherazad during this period, nor go to Meherabad. He can come only when I call him for some work. I have also ordered him to return any gift in cash or kind sent to me. So do not unnecessarily burden Adi's work by making him return your money or money orders. During this period, none of the Meherazad mandali can go to Meherabad, and vice versa, neither can they correspond with anyone. This rule applies equally to all my mandali — those at Meherazad and Meherabad both.
