On 20 June, Baba and the women mandali visited Meherjee's filter paper factory, White Cloud. Afterwards, they went to the new house which the Harbs had built on a nearby hill. They also went to Meher Villa , Meherjee's home, before returning to Guruprasad.
The next day, after going to Ruby Hall Clinic for a glucose test, Baba visited Jamnagar House with eighteen of the men and the Maharani of Baroda. He arrived at 10:00 A.M. and stayed for an hour. The house was decorated and Baba embraced each person.
In the course of conversation, he remarked, "The other day, I was made to take a head bath [hair shampooed] — which is a crucifixion for me."
On that occasion, he stated, "When I break my silence, I will be physically in seven different places simultaneously."
After some light talk, Roda Mistry asked permission to sing. Baba then told Freny to sing. She did for the first time in her life, her knees trembling nervously. Refreshments were served, but Baba only sipped at his bottle of Duke's Mangola soda, leaving most of it as prasad. He asked them to sing the arti before he left.
Although Baba was not seeing outsiders, on Sunday, 23 June 1963, at the invitation of the Raja of Kurundwad, Baba went into the city, accompanied by Shantadevi and 32 of his lovers, including the mandali. They visited the Rashtriya Sahayak Stree Samiti Art Exhibition, in support of India's defense efforts, held at the Bhamburda Police Headquarters recreation hall near Shivajinagar.
On the 25th, Baba explained about three stages of experiences on the spiritual path — enthusiasm, depression and hope :
There are three states of experiences. When a seeker enters the spiritual path, for twelve years he has the experience of enthusiasm. Then comes the period of depression. This depression goes deep to such an extent that the aspirant neither feels interested in the world nor in God. This period lasts for twelve years. After the period of depression comes a period of hope when the aspiring pilgrim starts feeling interested in God again. This period is also for twelve years. At the end of this period, the pilgrim achieves God-realization by the grace of the Qutub.
In some cases the pilgrim gets the experience of enthusiasm for three years, and he also experiences [a dark] depression for three years. Then comes hope for 20 years, at the end of which he gets glimpses of God.
