Baba concluded:
I am fond of hearing qawaali singing, and Sai Baba and Babajan were fond of it, too. They used to keep time to the tune and remain absorbed listening to the singing by physically swaying back and forth to the music.
Baba was in a jubilant mood. When Gajanan Watve was singing, Baba would move his head and hands to the music too, and his expression would change according to the intensity of the words sung.
At one point, in answer to doubts swirling in her mind over Baba's state, he asked Girja Khilnani, "Do you ever have to think twice whether you are a man or a woman?"
Answering himself, Baba stated, "Girja never has to ask herself this question. Similarly, I know that I am God in human form. Hence, I say so."
Bhikubhai interjected, "Now that [patriotic] songs of war are favored on the radio, Watve has less opportunity of singing devotional songs. He, too, is learning to sing some patriotic tunes for the jawans [soldiers]."
Regarding the war between India and China, Baba remarked, "All are my children. Both India and China are mine, but there is this difference between them. India is [symbolizes] my mouth, and China is my anus. But such a political discussion is not appropriate for this occasion."
Before the final ghazal was sung, Mrs. Dhakephalkar, Silla Kaku and other women present expressed their wish to hear a certain Marathi bhajan that Watve was well known for singing. So Baba, although more fond of ghazals, to please his lovers' desire, asked Watve to sing it. Watve sang the bhajan, and the way in which Baba beat to the rhythm showed that he, also, was moved by it. Watve then sang the final ghazal. He sang beautifully that day, and Baba was so pleased that he made Watve stand close to him, and directed Bhikubhai to photograph them together.
In the course of the function, Sarosh informed Baba that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, M. S. Kannamwar, was coming to Ahmednagar on 14 and 15 January, and if it pleased Baba, he could agree to give the Chief Minister darshan. Lokhande of Nagpur had also written to Baba of the Chief Minister's interest in meeting him.
Baba replied, "Kannamwar's wife is a fast [good] friend of one of my close lovers, Indumati Deshmukh. She has attended some meetings of the Nagpur Center. Kannamwar himself once presided over my birthday function, and wants to meet me. He could not come to the East-West Gathering in Poona, and now my seclusion has started. Still, I will see them on the morning of the 15th, between nine and ten o'clock for five minutes."
