Baba had originally stated that he would be working in seclusion with Kaikobad for four months, until the 21st of November 1967, but because there had been a break in his work (due to Kaikobad's accident), Baba extended the period of his seclusion work by three months. On 30 November, Adi was informed:
Baba will resume the remaining 70 days of seclusion work from tomorrow. No telegrams or cables, except his birthday message, should be sent out under his name during this phase of his prolonged seclusion. Baba's seclusion will end on 21 February 1968, but for the general public the date of termination will be 25 February. From 1 December 1967 until 25 February 1968, Baba will not attend to any personal affairs of anyone, and he should not be disturbed.
Only very good and uplifting news and news of the death of any of his lovers will be intimated to Baba. Baba will not be hearing any news, criticisms or reports which have a depressing effect. Nothing depressing will be brought to Baba's notice. Only cheerful, very good and uplifting news will be read or conveyed to Baba.
Baba wants no one to visit him at Meherazad for he wishes to remain undisturbed. He will see only those who are expressly called by him [for work].
That same day, Baba dictated this message: "I am everywhere and am found to be nowhere. Only the love and faith of my lovers can make my presence felt. Remove the veil of your presence to find me."
From Friday, 1 December 1967, Baba embarked on what he indicated was "the remaining 70 days of his seclusion work." His work with Kaikobad continued, mornings and afternoons. After each session of work, Baba looked exhausted and was soaked with perspiration. Eruch would wipe him dry, apply talcum powder and help him change into a clean sadra.
Explaining about his work one day, Baba said: "You can only see what you see me doing outwardly, but I am continually working on all planes of consciousness at the same time. As my manifestation time is closing in, the pressure of my work is tremendous. You cannot have an iota of an idea of it.
"The days that are now passing are nothing compared to what will happen afterwards. It would be like comparing the small height of Seclusion Hill to Mount Everest!"
On another occasion, Baba referred yet again to "his time is fast approaching ..."
In response, Eruch said, "Baba, while you say 'the time is coming fast,' we find that time itself is receding from us — we never seem to catch up with it!"
