Others of the Bombay group were also called. Baba lovingly asked each in detail about her health. As Freny, Havovi and the others came forward, Baba would point out, for example, some small cut on each person. He would instruct Goher about it and put them under her treatment to draw them closer to him. Dr. Alu Khambatta was staying with them and she was also given instructions about the health of the Bombay women. Several of them were not even aware that they were suffering from certain maladies.
For example, one day in Guruprasad, Roda Mistry was seated before Baba. Suddenly, Baba called her and peered into her eyes.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
Though she said she felt all right, Baba reproved Jim Mistry, "What sort of husband are you? You have no care for Roda! Have her blood count taken."
When they returned to Bombay, Jim took her to a doctor and a deficiency of red blood cells was discovered. Roda was a vegetarian and Baba instructed her to start eating meat and fish.
Medicine and instructions were given to Freny for the treatment of an infected mosquito bite on her face.
Baba joked, "After a long time, I have become a doctor for all."
In the course of conversation on the 17th, Baba asked if everyone in the group knew how to swim. Freny did not. Baba ordered her to learn. He asked if she was afraid and she answered that she was indeed.
Baba assured her, "Take my name and you will learn within three days. It will be very good for you. I will impart the necessary instructions before you leave."
The same question came up two days later when the Bombay group was called back.
Baba looked at Freny and inquired, "What has happened to you? You were so plump when you first came, and now you look so pale. Do you sleep well? Are you eating properly? Tell me what is the matter. Goher, examine her and see if something is wrong. Are you worried about learning to swim? Don't worry about it; take my name constantly."
Several times he repeated: "Nothing exists besides me. This world is only an illusion. Peter also denied Christ; Judas got him crucified. Hold fast to me. Very bad times are coming. My humiliation will be great! Before leaving Poona, I will give you certain orders to follow."
