One day, however, when Baba asked him to write something else, Bhau protested, "Baba, I am neither a writer nor a poet. I don't know the use of language properly. Why do you give me such work? There are many good writers and poets in India, and if they come to you they would write sublime things."
Baba considered this for a moment and then asked, "Do you know any of these writers and poets?"
"Yes, I have heard of them," Bhau said. "They are very popular in India."
"All right," Baba acquiesced. "Write to them about me, and if they are interested, I may call them."
Bhau wrote to several well-known poets and writers, and Baba appeared anxious to bring them in his contact. Bhau thought that they would definitely come, because Baba was showing so much interest in them. After a few days, polite letters were received from a few of them. They were read out to Baba and he felt happy to hear them, but he did not give any instructions to be conveyed to them, which disappointed Bhau. Bhau wrote to them on his own and sent them some of Baba's messages.
Again, he informed Baba, "Some of these famous persons will definitely come to you, and if they come they will write sublimely about you."
Baba asked, "Have you got any of their writings?"
Bhau said he had a few copies of some of them. Baba asked him to bring them and read them out to him.
After he did so, Baba commented, "What is there in these writings? It is most dry! Only the language is good, nothing else. Is there any flow of love? Tell me the truth, isn't it just words? Never write to them again. They will not come to me."
He then said, "Do you think I ask you to write in vain? Have you got any idea about your writings? There is a flow of love in it. It flows and flows. Remember that I like your writings. What more do you want?"
Bhau kept quiet, and continued writing when Baba requested.
In 1945, due to family pressures, Eruch had married his cousin Khorshed Damania; but according to Baba's orders, soon after the wedding, he joined Baba permanently and never lived with his wife again. As mentioned, Khorshed became involved with Mangharam Mirchandani, who claimed to be a guru. Mirchandani was the same "bogus saint" who had sent three of his followers to confront Baba at Ashiana in Bombay in 1957.
