Baba lay down and did not reply, but after five minutes he sat up again and asked Bhau to look outside to see if there were any clouds. Bhau looked and reported that there were no clouds. "This is not even the monsoon season," Bhau pointed out.
Baba continued to send him outside every fifteen minutes or so, and when he went to look at five o'clock, dark rain clouds filled the sky.
Bhau hurried to tell Baba, who exclaimed, "See! I warned you! Now, what will happen?" and as soon as Baba gestured this, rain started pouring down.
Bhau was stunned.
Baba gestured, "Go right now and tell Aloba to ride [on his bicycle] to the pumping station and phone Adi and ask if it is raining in Ahmednagar."
Since it was pouring outside, Bhau asked Goher to bring him an umbrella, but Baba gestured impatiently, "Hurry! Go right now!"
So, Bhau ran across the compound to the men's side without an umbrella, getting soaking wet. He gave Aloba the message and returned to Baba.
Baba immediately asked him, "Did you tell Aloba to bring the message to me here after he phones Adi?"
"No, Baba. How could I tell him that? No one is allowed to come to your room unless you call them."
"Go! Go and tell him," Baba said. "I have never seen such an idiot like you!"
Again, Bhau had to dash out into the rain and give Aloba the instructions to bring the news about the phone call to Baba's room. Aloba had already left, so Bhau told Meherwan to tell him when he returned.
When Bhau returned to Baba's room, he was drenched and quite irritated, thinking: "What is the hurry about phoning Adi? If it is raining in Ahmednagar, it is raining! What will Baba do about it? Here I am, soaking wet, and I have to sit with Baba until midnight in these wet clothes!"
As Bhau entered Baba's room, Baba gestured, "If there is rain in Ahmednagar, everything will be ruined!"
Bhau replied, "Whether the program there gets ruined or not, my program here is completely spoiled! I am drenched!"
Baba just smiled and gestured to him, "Come here," and taking his own handkerchief, he tenderly and lovingly began to wipe Bhau's face.
Bhau said, "I can do it."
