Over the next few days, Baba caught several persons coming for darshan twice or even thrice and reprimanded them. One exception, though, was an old man who was seen to come for darshan on all five days.
As soon as Eruch finished making announcements in English, Keshav Nigam would translate them in Hindi, Dhake in Marathi, Kutumba Sastri in Telugu, and Burjor Mehta in Gujarati. Eruch again spoke Baba's instructions:
Baba says those leaving today, irrespective of the group they may belong to, should have darshan today. After them, the rest should come in their respective groups, while the group head will introduce each one to Baba. Jal will introduce some of those lovers from Andhra who had helped financially in the completion of the Avatar Meher Baba Poona Center Hall.
Harry Kenmore was called to the microphone to recite the Master's Prayer. When he finished, there were cheers of Baba's Jai
Eruch repeated Baba's message from the day before:
All these years I used to embrace you, my lovers, and bow down to your love for me. Now I cannot embrace you, so I allow you to bow down to my love for you.
After this was translated into the four languages, Eruch read a new message from Baba:
I am happy to see you all, and I am touched that many of you have come from distant parts at no small sacrifice to be in my presence for a few hours. Devotees spend their lifetime and savings and even risk life itself in pilgrimages to bow down before God in forms sanctified by tradition. And their rewards are according to tradition. But you have journeyed to bow down before God who has taken human form because of love. And your reward will be according to love.
The darshan began at 9:20 A.M. Long queues of men, women and children stood in line in the hot sun, each going forward in turn. Baba's star-like face was aglow, and he looked as lustrous to those sitting at a distance as he did to those nearby. Baba's chair had been placed on the edge of the stage. Each man and woman coming for darshan walked past him on the lower level and touched his feet. Some would touch his feet with their forehead, some left flowers and garlands. There were some who wet his feet with their tears, while others prayed to him for help.
