Being the last day, many were tempted to come a second time, but Baba would point them out in the queue long before they could come near him. Many from Poona had come for darshan despite the fact that Baba did not wish to meet the general public. The sahavas was meant only for his devoted lovers. He asked the people to take darshan quickly so that all would have a chance.
After darshan ended at 9:55 A.M., arti was sung. Baba stood and waved. Cheers of "Avatar Meher Baba ki jai!" resounded, while Baba sat in his wheelchair, which had been brought onto the stage that day. Slowly he was wheeled away.
Baba came to the side room at 3:40 P.M. that afternoon. He had agreed to sit for a group photograph with lovers from Guntur and Hyderabad. The first group arranged themselves on the entrance steps of Guruprasad. When everyone was set, Baba was brought in his wheelchair and sat in their midst. Since the Guntur group was very large, Baba had to have two photographs taken, one with the women and the other with the men. In all, Baba posed three times.
Although the darshan was officially over on 6 May, it was extended for three days more as several students who had been in the midst of their school and college exams had not been able to attend the programs. Lovers who had not had Baba's darshan were also permitted to come to Guruprasad at this time. And so for three days, in the mornings and afternoons, Baba met those who sought him. Even after this, others would daily appear in Guruprasad for darshan and Baba would see them and permit them to bow to him, despite the long hours of being seated with pain in his neck and hip.
Joseph Harb and Ben Hayman left on the 7 th , and Kenmore soon after them. They spent that morning with Baba at Guruprasad, from 8:00 to 11:00 A.M., and again in the afternoon at 3:00 P.M. for an hour. Joseph later wrote to his wife Kari:
It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to Baba and to see him suffering so much. About 4:00 P.M. all he wanted was to go to his room and relax. I left Beloved Baba tired and in pain. This gathering was a great strain on his body, mind and spirit. I saw him giving the sign of compression with both of his hands — meaning that when conditions become unbearable, the compressed feelings on his body, mind and spirit will cause his silence to break.
