Poona house visits, 1959
Bhavsar would arrange these daily visits.
“”
Once Baba asked him, "Where do we have to go tomorrow?"
Bhavsar replied, "To Sardar Mudaliar's."
“”
"Is he my lover?"
"I don't know, but he desires that you visit his home."
“”
"Does he have my picture in his house?"
Bhavsar said he was not sure.Baba did not say anything and at noon when he went for his lunch, Bhavsar phoned Mudaliar and asked if he had a photograph of Baba in his house.Mudaliar said no.Bhavsar told him he was sorry but Baba could not come to see him and he had to cancel the visit.The moment Baba entered the hall after lunch, Bhavsar said to Baba that he had canceled the visit to Mudaliar's.
“”
"Why?" asked Baba.
"I phoned him and asked if he had your photograph in his house and he said no. So what is the use in going there?"
“”
"Did I ask you to call him?Do you have any sense?How do you work in the [Poona] Center?"
Bhavsar admitted he made a mistake and sought Baba's forgiveness.
“”
"I always forgive, but at least you should think first before doing anything that might hurt someone's feelings."
Turning to Maharani Shantadevi, Baba shrugged, "What type of gems I get!"
A lover of longstanding, S. M. Turekar came with his wife to meet Baba.When he saw Baba, tears of repentance fell from his eyes.Turekar was a police officer and was then serving as a superintendent of police, a high position.
