Each person received the gift of his silent love according to his or her inner preparedness. Baba sat with joined hands, nodding to some, smiling at others, or asking a question. As each person placed his or her head on Baba's feet, Baba acknowledged each one's love with joined hands held to his chest or to his forehead. Lovers and devotees of all castes and creeds participated in the darshan.
Because those in front were standing, those seated behind could not see him.
In the midst of the darshan, Baba gestured, "My lovers seated in the last rows cannot see me clearly."
So with the assistance of Eruch and Bharucha, Baba stood and waved to the lovers seated in the back rows. Baba repeated this gesture of love three times every day during the darshan.
By now the queue reached the gates of Guruprasad.
Baba asked, "At this rate will all be able to have darshan in five days?"
Eruch commented, "A rubber stamp could be stamped on each forehead that has bowed to Baba, so that no one may come a second time!"
Mani waved to Eruch to come behind the dais and handed him a fresh pillow to replace the one behind Baba's back, which was soaked with perspiration. The women mandali, who were sitting behind the stage unseen, had noticed it.
At 10:50 A.M., Baba stated, "All those seated will get darshan in the four remaining days of the sahavas, so do not feel impatient."
Fifteen minutes later, looking at the long queue, Baba remarked, "It will not finish in fifteen minutes."
Each lover coming for darshan was hurried, as it was a great strain on Baba to sit for several hours at a stretch.
At 11:10 A.M., Baba commented to Bharucha, "The pain in my hip, back and neck has reached a climax. No one can have an idea of the intensity of my suffering."
Twenty minutes later, the queue ended and Baba asked for the arti to be sung. Madhusudan and the Poona bhajan group sang and everyone joined in. Mohini Rani of Dehra Dun, her daughter, Kusum, and Mohini's sister, Ramadevi of Mukimpur came forward with the arti flame burning on a salver, and waved it in ritualistic fashion in front of Baba. Afterwards, there were cheers of Baba's Jai as he stood supported by Eruch and Bharucha, and waved to the crowd. Baba entered Guruprasad, and all the lovers, with more repeated shouts of his Jai, left the premises. A few rushed to the dais and took as prasad some of the garlands lying there in heaps.
