In fulfillment of Baba's order that each of those in Europe, America and Australia write him one letter directly, letters started pouring in to Meherazad. Starting on 6 October 1965, Baba began hearing them. Each morning, a few were read to him in the hall by Eruch, and any enclosures (photographs or drawings) were shown to him. All of the letters overflowed with love, and Baba placed his hand on his heart as he dictated this message in reply:
"I am deeply touched by your love for me and your complete resignation to my will. You have made me happy. I give my love and blessing to you each, my own."
Rama had been feeling unwell and Dr. Southwell advised she be admitted to Booth Hospital for treatment. Baba called her and the children to Meherazad on 10 October, where he discussed this with them and Adi for half an hour. Rama was to write to her brothers Dhiraj and Sampath to come and look after Sheela and Mehernath while she was hospitalized. They arrived on the 21st and were permitted to see Baba. Rama was admitted to the hospital on the 27th and stayed there more than a month. Bhau was sent weekly to the hospital to see her, and also to visit the children.
Once when Baba called Bhau's family to Meherazad, Baba had a tin of chocolates on a stool by his side, and Sheela and Mehernath's attention had been drawn toward it. Picking up the tin, Baba distributed chocolates to everyone but them. This naturally made the children restless within for a piece of chocolate, and Baba was much amused.
Finally, giving them the candy, he advised, "Have the same longing for me as you have for chocolates."
Waman Padale used to come to Meherazad every Sunday on Adi's scooter, and he would come on other days as well if there were important messages to deliver from Adi's office. Waman was in the habit of bowing down to any Hindu idol he came across, and one day Baba sternly corrected him,
"I am God in human form. Why do you bow down to statues of gods and goddesses? Don't do it again! Stop from today."
Waman obeyed for a considerable time.
But once when he was with his relatives, one of them entered a temple and Waman went with him and bowed to the idol so that his relative would not feel insulted. The next Sunday when he came to Meherazad, Baba asked him about it and he admitted the truth.
Baba scolded, "You did so to please your relatives, but you had no thought of keeping my pleasure. In order to keep my will, you should not mind even if the whole world turns against you!"
Baba ordered him to rub his nose on the floor seven times before him and thereby forgave him.
