Harry Kenmore was asked to recite the Repentance Prayer, which was followed by the arti. Those who had not taken Baba's darshan that day came to him for the last time.
Baba left the hall at 5:15 P.M. and his lovers departed with a combined feeling of pain and joy in their hearts — the pain of separation and the joy of having partaken of his company.
Age recorded: "Thus ended the ten weeks of darshan programs at Guruprasad during the summer of 1963. Men, women and children belonging to all castes and religions, from all over India, made their pilgrimage to Poona to have a glimpse of the beloved God-Man and to bask in the sunshine of his love. For those who came every weekend, Baba's radiance sustained them throughout their weekly sojourns from homes and jobs, traveling on overcrowded trains and buses to journey to his feet. But the peace they derived from his presence gave them the strength to resume their roles in life and to serve his cause, renewed and invigorated."
According to Baba's wish, during the remaining two weeks of his stay in Poona, no one was allowed to visit him at Guruprasad, except for a few close ones such Sadashiv Patil, Meherjee, Jalbhai, Beheram and his three sons, Jehangu, Meherwan Jessawala, and also a few from Jamnagar House. The Dubash family was permitted to visit daily.
On 18 June 1963, Baba agreed to allow Dr. Grant of Ruby Hall Clinic to perform diagnostic tests on him. Skiagrams were taken which showed poor excretion from both his kidneys, and his blood count was done. On the 21st, a glucose tolerance test was done. From the results, Dr. Grant diagnosed that Baba was suffering from moderately severe diabetes, chronic glomerulo nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys), hyperoxaluria and high cholesterol.
Although Dr. Grant himself never became a devotee or follower of Meher Baba, he admitted that whenever he was in Baba's presence he "somehow felt relaxed and peaceful, and he would always leave in a happy, confident mood," all tensions having left him.
