A few more women sang devotional songs, and then Freiny Nalavala recited the Master's and Repentance prayers in Hindi. Mehera Kerawala repeated the prayers in English.
At 3:15 P.M., Baba indicated it was time to leave. All approached him, kissed his hand and boarded the buses.
Just before the queue formed, Baba remarked, "Each one should leave in the happy mood that all have been in the whole day."
Although Baba remained in seclusion, on occasion he would allow individuals to see him. When Ramakrishnan in Poona learned that a few people had been permitted darshan, he felt disturbed. One day a letter was received from him in which he wrote: "Some people think that only the rich are given permission to visit Baba during his seclusion at Meherazad, while the poor are not."
Baba was amused and sent this reply to Ramakrishnan:
Howsoever it may appear to be, the recipient of my darshan owes it to his good fortune, be he cabinet minister or mendicant. If the rich have been allowed, it is a matter of how rich their connection with me might be, and not their pockets! And the fact cannot be denied that, while the so-called rich may bow down to me, I bow down to the poor!
Ramakrishnan came to Meherazad on Sunday morning, 29 December 1963, along with Shinde and Sardar Raste, for another meeting about the Poona Center.
Keki Nalavala suddenly came to see Baba on the 30th, from Dehra Dun. Although he knew that there was a strict injunction against visitors, he came anyway and met Adi at Khushru Quarters. Adi was reluctant to drive Keki to Meherazad for fear of breaking Baba's orders — and incurring his wrath! But when he saw that Keki was determined not to miss this opportunity, Adi helped him hire a taxi. But when Keki reached Meherazad, Aloba stopped him at the front gate and adamantly told him to go back home, as Baba's orders on the subject had been made crystal clear. Nalavala pleaded that if, when informed that he had come, Baba still sent word to go back, he would not disobey him and would comply willingly. By this time, Eruch approached to say that Baba had agreed to see Keki for just two minutes on the condition that nothing was to be discussed, unless Baba asked. Keki agreed and was led into mandali hall.
