Although Dorabjee's daughter had come for Baba's darshan the previous year, his son-in-law did not in the least believe in Baba's divinity. Yet in his anguish, Keki Billimoria expressed his desire to Jal Dorabjee to see Baba, who conveyed this to Pendu. Pendu beseeched Baba to see the grief-stricken young man, and again Baba made an exception and called him to Guruprasad. Keki Billimoria was impressed by meeting Baba and told him, "My wife tried to persuade me to come with her last year, saying, 'I cannot express in words what you will get from Baba, but just sit for a few minutes at his feet and you will know' — and still I did not come. Now I have come and I know what she meant. I will be forever grateful to her for this, but I am filled with remorse that I did not come to you when she was alive."
Baba consoled him over the sudden loss of his wife and daughter, and Keki Billimoria left braver in heart, calmer in mind and resigned to God's will.
In the mornings and afternoons at Guruprasad, Baba would sit in a small side room with the men mandali. Sometimes individuals would come seeking darshan, often having traveled from hundreds of miles away, but as a rule Baba would not see them. Arnavaz was allowed to stay for ten days from the first of June. Pukar also came for a short stay. Adi was called to Poona several times, once to represent Baba at the wedding of Shantadevi's daughter.
One day, a man approached Guruprasad, and Baidul went to inform him that Baba was not meeting visitors. Bhau was sent to find out more about him, and Pukar was told to go also. Bhau tried to question the person, but the man stood weeping, unable to speak. Pukar for some reason blurted out, "Has your wife been unfaithful?" The man nodded and slowly told his story: He was from Bilaspur. He found out his wife was cheating on him, and she subsequently ran away with her lover. He decided to commit suicide, but he wanted Baba's darshan first. He came by train, even though he had no money to purchase a ticket. He was caught traveling without a ticket and jailed for one week. He had just been released.
Baba called the man and told him, "You are fortunate that your wife left you. She has given you the opportunity to remember God. Don't worry about her. It's good that she left. You should thank her. Because of her, you have gotten my darshan. Now, forget about her, and never think of suicide."
The man was told to return home, and he was given an amount for his return fare, and for food along the way.
Baba made another exception to the ban on visitors, in the case of Hilary Sinding-Larsen and Robert Michiels, two young Norwegians (who married a year or so after meeting Baba). Hilary had come to know of Baba from reading God Speaks , which deeply impressed her. She felt at home in India and wore saris during her stay in the country.
