The lover in his heart of hearts knows that the Beloved will not meet him and so he says: "I know you will not fulfill your promise. But your promise to meet me tomorrow makes me so happy that I feel I have already met you!"
Jigar says, "When I put my heart at the feet of the Beloved, my restlessness of ages came to an end."
At 11:00 A.M. the arti was sung and all dispersed for lunch. Baba was in the hall again at 12:20 P.M. and Lata Limaye sang for a short while. A sitar soloist then performed.
Shankar and Shambhu, two famous qawaal brothers from Bombay, sang for three hours in the afternoon. Baba gave a handkerchief to each musician of their group (although, according to Adi Sr., Baba did not much like their voices). The arti was sung at 5:00 P.M. and everyone filed past Baba with folded hands. Baba retired at 5:30 P.M.
Many well-known singers sang before Baba that year, including two sisters, Hirabai Barodekar and Saraswatibai Ranay of Poona. Another well-known singer was D. V. Karandikar, who had previously performed at Guruprasad. Shahu Modak of Ahmednagar also sang before Baba.
After six weeks of convalescing at Meherabad, Baidul was not happy. So on 12 June 1963 Baba permitted Baidul to be brought to Poona by Adi, and admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic. Baidul was kept there for a month, and then was taken to Bombay to stay with his daughter Sarwar, who was a nurse.
Rustom and Freny Dadachanji were permitted to see Baba privately on the 11th morning and both garlanded him. Freny was called back in the afternoon with Arnavaz. Two days later, on 13 June, all the Bombay lovers were called to Guruprasad. Baba was suffering terribly. Sometimes Baba would call the Bombay group six or seven times in a week. They would attempt to appear cheerful and gay, and crack jokes to make Baba laugh, but because of his evident suffering, inside they were weeping. That afternoon, Baba was as they had not seen him before. His complexion was as white as his sadra. He began working intensely. There was pin-drop silence. After a few minutes of apparently agonizing work, he asked everyone to leave except Nariman, Arnavaz, Rustom, Freny and Eruch. He stated a few things to them, embraced Rustom and Freny again, and sat with them in a silent contemplation they found indescribable.
Baba looked at Freny and gestured, "I am God," as if to say, "I know that you accept the fact with faith and love for me, but I am telling you it is so and to remember it."
