But Bhau did not say anything, and Baba also did not ask him anything. When Baba retired to his room that afternoon at three o'clock, Bhau followed him.
At one point, Baba asked, "How many letters did you write today?"
Irritated, Bhau replied, "Not a single letter, Baba!"
"Why not?"
"Where was the time? I was with you in the hall and when you came here I followed you."
"Yes, you are right. But tell me, what were you thinking back in the hall?"
"Nothing."
"Tell me the truth!" So Bhau repeated what had passed through his mind — about Baba's lovers being great and only wishing for his darshan.
Baba replied, "Yes, you are right. My lovers are really great. But what do you mean by thinking this? You have been with me for so many years, yet you still don't understand what I am doing for them! If they come to me, what will they see? This physical form. This is nothing!"
Baba hit his thigh with his fist, the sign he would make for his seclusion work, and gestured, "This is the real thing I am giving them, and you will witness with your own eyes what will happen to those who have not seen me physically. Although they have not seen me physically — they are with me and I am working for them. They are present here."
Baba, however, did agree to see a few select individuals from 9 October 1968 and to hold a meeting on 13 October about giving darshan "on his own terms." He instructed Adi to inform those concerned by telegram. Eruch was instructed to write those invited: "Baba does not want anyone to ask for even a minute for any personal talk that day, as he wants you all to have one-pointed attention on what he has to say that day."
Those contacted included Harry Kenmore, to whom a telegram was sent on 4 October, informing him to come and stay at Meherazad.
It read: "Arrive Meherazad 1st November morning for one week stay. Come as mandali, live as mandali in my love. Cable confirmation."
According to Baba's instruction, Eruch also wrote Kenmore that Baba did not want him to come as a doctor equipped with treatment paraphernalia, nor did he wish him to bring his Polaroid camera, movie camera or otherwise, nor the contour chair, nor any other "surprises" for Baba's personal comfort.
Baba instructed that if anyone should ask why Kenmore had been called, "Tell him or her that you have been called for your Pop's personal work."
