Since he was buried at public expense, it was done in a haphazard fashion, and soon his body was eaten away by animals. His bones with the skull (with Rs.25 inside!) were lying on the ground. Some schoolboys of the village were passing by, and coming across the skull kicked it and heard the jingling of the coins. All of them kicked the skull as hard as they could to knock out the coins, but it was no use; the teeth's grip was so tight. They tried to break open the skull with stones, but to no avail.
So they took the skull to a wise man in the village, who told the skull, "Look here, man, all these people want to take your precious money away, but I want to add to it. Here are five more coins!" Upon hearing this the skull opened at once, and the wise man struck it from behind and removed the coins.
So from this tale you can see how strong maya's grip is. The more you get, the more entangled in it you become.
That evening some of the Andhra lovers invited Adi, Francis, Deshmukh and Dr. Bharucha out to dinner, during which time they discussed Baba's explanations. The next morning, Sunday, 19 May 1963, the conversation drifted to the previous night's dinner. Dr. Bharucha told Baba that many subjects had been discussed, including why Baba kept postponing the date of breaking his silence. Bharucha expressed his opinion, "It is immaterial for your lovers if you keep postponing the date, but when other people ask about the reason, it is not easy to convey."
In reply, Baba assured Bharucha, "I shall positively break my silence after nine months."
Rhoda Dubash arrived that day with her son, Merwan. They embraced Baba, and Rhoda informed him how ill Merwan had been after she and Adi had returned home from the East-West Gathering. His Senior Cambridge exam was to start shortly after Merwan returned to Karachi from the East-West Gathering, but on his return he became sick with a very strong attack of measles. The Parsi community in Karachi criticized Adi and Rhoda for taking their son for Baba's darshan when his exams were so near. After missing the first three papers, Merwan's doctor allowed him to appear for the rest of the exams, but all expected him to fail. The result astounded everyone as he was the only Parsi to pass First Class at the top of his class, despite having not appeared for the first three exams.
