Baba and the men went to see him. The new coat Baba had given the mast-like man on a previous occasion was worn next to his skin, and eleven others were worn on top of it. Baba asked the mandali if they had given him food. On one of his legs Barakoti had wrapped some dirty rags. Baba asked about it, and Barakoti replied that a stray dog had bitten him. Baba instructed Hoshang (a physician) to remove the rags and apply a clean dressing.
Baba added, "After bandaging him, wash your hands thoroughly."
All then returned to the hall.
That afternoon, Baba gave Hoshang and Cowas a custard apple each as prasad and took them to see his garden. Hoshang held the umbrella over Baba to protect him from the hot sun. Baba walked up to the well.
In the garden, he remarked, "This is a walk in the garden of Allah, and I truly mean it."
They returned and Baba gave them toffees. After the usual game of cards, he retired to his room.
Baba would rarely return to the men's side after going to his house, but that day, he came back at 5:00 P.M. and going to Hoshang and Cowas' room, inquiring whether they were comfortable. He sat on a chair in front of their room and gave each a copy of the recent Life Circular of Baba's statements dictated on 7 October 1959 that Adi had published.
Baba gestured, "I will give something very great to the universe on 30 December 1959. I feel very happy to give you this information, and so I decided to come at this time."
He then gave them instructions regarding the work he wished them to do after leaving Meherazad. They were told to give Rs.500 each to two middle-class families with several children who, in spite of trying their best, were unable to make ends meet, and who out of self-respect would not beg. Hoshang and Cowas were not to choose farmers, as the government already provided much help to these people. They were instructed to bow down to the persons concerned and then give them the money.
Baba said, "This work is very important. You do not know the importance of it. This is the last work entrusted to you. Search carefully before giving the money. Do not worry. I will help you. The families may be of any caste. After finishing the work, return home on 31 October."
Baba asked Eruch to narrate how he used to do this sort of work, and the hardships Baba and the mandali encountered in finding such families..
