Baba complained, "I am much pressed by the work and will leave after a short walk for my usual crucifixion." (By "crucifixion," Baba was, at this time, referring to his work with Kaikobad).
After being with Kaikobad, Baba went for a walk, and in the afternoon, he played La Risque. At 3:00 P.M., he distributed tea and snacks to all.
Hoshang did not normally drink tea, but Baba gave him a cup, gesturing, "Take it today, but never drink it again in your lifetime!"
Baba then retired to his room.
Baba composed another poem for Harry Kenmore that afternoon at 1:45 P.M.:
Harry you are very dear. That's why I kept you near. Now let this be clear, As long as you are here, Remain happy and full of cheer. About my promise, do not fear. I will speak and you will hear. Whether you are there or here.
October 21st was again a day of fast and silence for Hoshang and Cowas. Baba came and, as usual, inquired about their health and sleep. After finishing his work with Kaikobad, Baba sat in a chair on the verandah outside their room. He sat silently for several minutes, looking as though seriously occupied in some work, and then walked over to the row of mango trees Kaka had planted. Kaka told Baba, "All the trees give good fruit, except one." Baba went up to the tree, and despite the long grass around it, he touched it lightly. Then Baba returned to his chair.
Later, Baba took Hoshang and Cowas to the main house to listen to music on the phonograph.
He remarked he would not comment or give any explanations this time, but once during a qawaali record, he stated, "However much the suffering of the lover may be, he should never open his mouth to complain. His lips should be sealed and his tongue locked up."
At the end of the session, Baba explained one more line: "The lover says to his Beloved, 'I have become yours; it does not matter if you become mine or not.' "
