On 21 November 1963, Saint Tukdoji Maharaj of Nagpur came to see Baba, along with Sarosh, Viloo and Adi. Tukdoji Maharaj had met Baba twice before in Nagpur in 1937 and 1944, and Babadas and Pankhraj had spoken to him about Baba. The saint had come to Ahmednagar to attend gatherings of his followers.
Baba remarked to him, "I am in seclusion now and not giving darshan to anyone. When I go to Poona, I permit people to see me."
Tukdoji Maharaj replied, "Darshan is of two kinds. One is to see physically, another is to see everywhere!"
Baba answered with a smile, "Only an exceptional one sees me everywhere. I am infinite!"
In 1955, Tukdoji Maharaj had been invited to attend a conference on world religions and world peace. He narrated details of his experiences there. Baba then sent him outside with Adi and Bhau for a tour of the Meherazad premises.
Meanwhile, Baba instructed Sarosh and Viloo about their upcoming visit to Nauranga. Baba warned Viloo not to pay attention to the poverty, uncleanliness, illiteracy and manners of the poor villagers of Hamirpur, but to see only the richness of their love for Baba.
He embraced them and stated, "This embrace of mine will reach thousands through you!"
Little did Sarosh and Viloo realize the depth of his words.
They left for Nauranga early the following morning by car, with Dhake and Sushila, as the mela was to commence on the 25th. On the way, Viloo was thinking apprehensively about what their accommodations would be like in Nauranga. But when they arrived, they were afforded a grand reception and showered with cordial hospitality. The unique atmosphere of love for Baba was so exhilarating that both Viloo and Sarosh were overcome by it. They totally forgot themselves.
On the last day of their stay, every one of the villagers wanted to embrace them, and two long queues formed. Sarosh began embracing the men, while Viloo embraced the women. Once, the very thought of embracing thousands of none-too-clean farmers and villagers would have been repugnant to them, but now both were weeping! They continued to weep for four hours. Baba's words to Viloo (that his embrace would be carried to thousands) rang in her ears. They had never in their lives witnessed such love, and both were profoundly affected and deeply moved.
When Viloo and Sarosh returned to Ahmednagar on 1 December, they went to Meherazad soon after to report to Baba. They declared they had never before witnessed such devotion and enthusiasm at a mass gathering for Baba in his physical absence.
