These days the world is full of false saints. Some of them are adept in the "black arts" where, hypnotizing the naïve and the gullible, they draw them toward themselves. Some draw others toward them by a fixed stare which gives others strange sights. But my name will conquer all these spells and charms and overpower them.
In comparison, the experiences of Kaikobad are far higher. The pilgrim of the fourth plane does not need any medium to perform miracles. He just thinks it, and things happen according to his wish. His miracles are quite different, as he has gained the infinite power of God.
Baba also said: "Three things please me: to take upon myself the suffering of the universe; to listen to good singing — I mean good music, mind you, not Deshmukh's variety! And to play cards with my boys and see them rub their noses on the floor!"
At 3:00 P.M., Watve sang several ghazals until 4:30 P.M., and Baba embraced all who were to leave the next day. With the completion of the function, Baba stood up, saluted the gathering and retired to his room.
When Espandiar Vesali came to Guruprasad on 7 May, in a serious tone, Baba informed him, "You cannot stay here longer than today. You must return to Iran."
Vesali replied, "Baba, it has been 35 years since I have seen you. Please give me permission to remain with you for at least 20 days or a month."
Baba replied, "No, I am also with you in Iran. You should go back and work for Baba. Even if you lost your life because of this [borrowing money], don't pay heed to it, and work for me."
So Espandiar Vesali was driven by Adi to Meherabad, where he met Baidul. He was taken to Meherazad the following day and then left for Bombay. But at the airport he was informed he would have to purchase his ticket with Persian currency, and since he did not have anything other than Indian rupees, he was told it would be best to have his ticket sent from Iran. He returned to Guruprasad.
Baba called him and when he heard what happened, stated, "All right, remain here until the answer to your letter arrives."
After a week, Baba instructed Vesali to travel to Bombay and see whether the answer had arrived. The letter had not come, so he returned to Guruprasad. Baba again allowed him to remain in Poona. After another week, Baba directed him to go to Bombay again, but there was no letter or money and he had to return. In this way, Vesali remained in Poona for 20 days, until finally Baba instructed him to go to Bombay and wait for the reply there. The ticket came, and just before leaving, he returned to Guruprasad to bid farewell to Baba.
