Baidul and Raghunath were left behind to take the bullock cart on a road around the small river. After crossing the creek, Baba led them on the Bombay-Agra Road toward Bhiwandi. They intended to stop at Nasir Ahmed's house, but they accidentally took the wrong road. (Nasir Ahmed had met Baba at Manzil-e-Meem the previous November, after being directed to go there by Abdul Wahid, an advanced soul.)
The group was again composed of men of various religions and castes, and each one was wearing something different. Some had on khaki clothing, some wore dhotis, and some wore loose cotton pajamas. But one thing they had in common — all their clothes were dirty. The villagers of Bhiwandi were interested in this strange array of men and looked at them with curiosity. Although the hems of Baba's white pajamas were torn, his radiant face was the sole beam of Light in the darkness surrounding them. The local people were greatly attracted to him, as his shining, roving eyes surveyed all with lightning-like glances.
As the band of men settled in at a dak bungalow, some people arrived who had been sent by Nasir Ahmed to find them. Many had been waiting to meet Baba at Nasir's home, but he decided to stay at the dak bungalow instead of going to Nasir's house. Their meal was supposed to be brought by Nasir within a short time; having waited a while, Baba lost his patience and started complaining about how late it was. He repeatedly inquired whether his dal and rice had arrived yet, demanding that he wanted his food immediately! His mood was serious and the atmosphere became tense.
Baba had also become annoyed with Raghunath and had him sent ahead to Sakori in the afternoon. Raghunath was unable to keep pace with the other men and, moreover, was quite inattentive to Baba's instructions. Baba, still angry at Nasir's lateness, stormed off from Bhiwandi at 5:00 P.M. for the village of Padgha, which was ten miles away. Baidul and Ramjoo remained behind and were to follow later with the bullock cart and the food, which had not yet arrived. Reaching Padgha, Baba and the mandali stayed at another dak bungalow until Baidul and Ramjoo finally came.
They rested until the afternoon of the following day and, after having their lunch, started at 4:00 P.M. for Shahapur, a distance of eleven miles. The road was very rough, and they had difficulty traversing it.
