Jalbhai came to Meherazad on 1 November for three days. During his stay, he filmed Baba walking with Kenmore and the mandali. Meherjee, Prem Khilnani, his wife and children came for darshan on the 2nd.
Harry Kenmore left Meherazad for Bombay and then New York on 4 November 1959, carrying this message from Baba to his lovers:
"Tell my American lovers that although they are physically far away from me, spiritually they are nearer to me than to themselves; and they are all very dear to me."
A final poem from Baba to Harry was:
Dear Harry, be happy and merry, Your woes in Meherazad bury. Hurry, Harry, buck up, Harry, My love to U.S. carry.
Baba had repeatedly warned his lovers of the critical two-and-a-half months ending in October, during which time, he stated, Maya would try to do her best against him. For those in Poona, this became starkly and sorrowfully apparent when, on the final day of that period, 31 October, Srinivas Mudaliar, the only son of Appa Rao Mudaliar, whose house served as the Poona Center, slipped off of a ladder and died from his injuries. Srinivas was a very sincere and devoted worker in Baba's cause and the sole support of his family. Baba was informed and sent this telegram to Ramakrishnan:
"Dear Srinivas has attained his blissful niwas [residence] in Baba. Comfort Mudaliar family with the warmth of Baba's love."
Baba decided to extend his seclusion by two more months. Aloba wrote and enacted a comic skit for Baba on 5 November 1959. The next day, Baba gave a discourse on "The One and The Zero" (later printed in The Everything and The Nothing ) , part of which was:
God is generally spoken of as being One ... However, strictly speaking, no number, not even one, can depict One who is indivisibly One without a second. Even to call this one "One" is incorrect. We do not speak of the ocean as "one." It just is the Ocean.
Nariman and Jim Mistry arrived on the 7th and were permitted to stay at Meherazad for two days. By now, Bhau had completed the Hindi play, which Baba named Divya Leela, and it was being read to him every day in the hall. Calling Keshav Nigam to Meherazad on 9 November, Baba handed him the play for publication, and it was printed by Baba's birthday. Keshav and Pukar left for Hamirpur on the 12th.
