At 10:40 A.M. arti was sung. Even before the last lines were over, Baba asked Eruch and Bharucha to help him stand. He waved and then hurried off the stage, sagging down into his wheelchair. His whole body began to shake, as it seemed unable to bear its burden. Baba was sacrificing his body for the sake of his lovers, and only the mandali and doctors knew how he suffered. Eruch and Bharucha massaged his legs, but their efforts could not relieve even a little of the suffering that he had taken upon himself.
Despite his pain, Baba came onto the platform again at 3:30 P.M. The Bombay, Bhavnagar and Nasik lovers were yet to take his darshan. He seemed to be in a better mood that afternoon. Arti was sung at 4:30 P.M., and Baba then ended the program.
On Thursday, 6 May, the final day of darshan, Baba entered the side room at 7:05 A.M. Eruch showed him the first three copies of the Marathi translation of The Everything and The Nothing, which Indumati Deshmukh, Nana Kher and Dinkar Dhage of Nagpur had done together. Baba signed each of the copies.
The two ministers of Andhra Pradesh, Appa Rao and Channa Reddy, came with their families. At their request Baba sat for a photograph with each family separately.
Turning to Harry Kenmore, Baba remarked, "The pain in my neck and hip is very great. I suffer not for myself, but for you all."
A girl of about five years old came with her parents for darshan. Inviting Baba to her home, she boldly said, "Come to Ganeshkhind!"
Baba replied, "I am already there." He comforted her, gesturing, "I will come one day."
Baba came on to the dais at 7:45 A.M. Shinde garlanded him. Indumati, Nana Kher and Dhage were called to the stage, and Baba presented each with an autographed copy of the Marathi translation of The Everything and The Nothing .
One devotee brought a small coconut tree and cashew nut seeds from Andhra. These were touched by Baba. They were to be planted in the compound of the Poona Center.
That day Ahmednagar and Poona lovers were to have darshan. Besides them, lovers who had not yet taken darshan were allowed to come to Baba.
