Jim gave a witty reply, "Because of my instant obedience! You called me, and I came running. Had I waited to switch it off, I would not have carried out your order immediately." His clever answer made Baba laugh.
Every day, Baba would go to Ganeshkhind Garden and there, holding Jim Mistry's hand, he would take walks. One day Baba told someone else to walk beside him, and Jim assumed Baba would take his assistance later. Thereafter, Baba took Francis by the hand and exercised back and forth with him.
Jim felt that Baba was in some way displeased with him, and his mind began working feverishly. He was left behind, without Baba paying the slightest attention to him.
“”Baba walked a distance and then suddenly turned and inquired, "Where is Jim?"
Jim came running, and holding him by the hand, Baba walked with him for a long distance. This convinced Jim that Baba was always conscious of each one and had purposely been pretending to be aloof.
Jim Mistry's son, Meherwan, once came to Poona to see Baba. He was staying in a hotel and before going to Guruprasad, he went to purchase a movie ticket, thinking he would go to a movie that evening.
“”At Guruprasad, he sat near Baba, who instructed him, "This evening go to the Poona Center."
Meherwan agreed, conscious of the ticket in his pocket. Baba did not say anything, and Meherwan went to the Center.
“”The next day when he came, Baba asked him, "Did you go to the Poona Center last night?"
Meherwan replied that he had.
“”"You didn't go to the movies?"
Surprised, Meherwan replied no.
“”Baba remarked, "I am pleased with you. I know everything. Continue to obey me like this."
In mid-April 1959, Baba again began allowing darshan every day. Lovers from Bombay and other places began coming, staying in nearby hotels. Three o'clock in the afternoon was fixed as the time they could come to Guruprasad. Dara Dadachanji thought of leaving earlier to see Baba, and Jim Mistry agreed with his idea. Dara arrived at 1:00 P.M., and Baba was pleased to see him.
“”Homa Dadachanji (Dara's brother) arrived at 3:00 P.M., and Baba asked him, "Why are you late?"
