Abdul Tayab went to Bombay to persuade the bungalow's owner to lend it free of charge; meanwhile, Baba expressed his wish to go somewhere in the Ahmednagar area. Ghani complained to him, "Your constant changes frighten us. Why don't you chalk out a definite plan and then stick to it?!"
Baba replied, "The very fact of these frequent changes is testimony to my being changeless. My plans are always definite, and there is no room for the slightest deviation. What you see as 'change' is the very body of a fixed plan — an inseparable part of a definite plan!"
Soon after, Abdul Tayab's telegram from Bombay was received, stating that the bungalow at Walvan was not available as the owner intended to use it himself.
On Thursday, 29 November Baba sent for Vajifdar from Bombay and, after talking with him in private, made him immediately return. Thereafter, Baba proceeded to the station by car, well before the train's arrival, and remained seated in the car until it was time for departure. But the driver had informed his family about Meher Baba's arrival, and soon a crowd gathered near the car. The presence of the curious crowd perturbed Baba, so he entered the train. Baba had called only Papa Miya (a local lover), Abdul Tayab and Dr. Bhiwalkar to the station; but, due to the throng around the compartment, they could not even see him. Amidst the confusion, Baba and Gustadji departed at 8:30 P.M. for an unknown destination, leaving Ghani and Ramjoo guessing where they were headed.
They arrived in Poona, where Behramji joined them. The next morning, Baba took a train to Sholapur with Gustadji and Behramji, while even the devotees in Poona did not know of his presence. The third–class compartment was packed, and with great difficulty they managed to find space to sit.
Behramji was dozing, and Baba asked him, "Do you feel sleepy?"
Behramji nodded in the affirmative. Baba then pushed several people aside and made room for Behramji to lie down. When he was about to fall asleep, however, Baba shook him.
Behramji could hardly open his eyes but heard himself being scathingly addressed, "Don't you feel ashamed to sleep when I am sitting here wide awake? How can you feel like sleeping? Have some thought for me!"
Baba went on abusing and teasing him until Behramji became so angry that his sleepiness disappeared — which is exactly what Baba intended.
