One man invited Baba to his home, and, seeing his sincere love, Baba accepted. Tea was served, and after taking it, all returned to Meherabad by 3:30 P.M. The remainder of the food was brought back with them, and Baba distributed it to the mandali who had stayed at Meherabad.
The Harijan children staying at Meherabad had been urged by Baba not to have any connection with Arangaon, but they did not listen and would visit their parents. Again they broke Baba's order, and so they were expelled from the school. At a meeting in the evening it was decided that those Harijans who were opposed to Baba, and who were inciting others in the village, should be forbidden to enter the boundaries of Meherabad property.
On the same day that Baba had gone to Walki, the Harijans had purposely killed and eaten a bullock, just to see what Baba would do. The next day, Shankar Wasker, who had slaughtered the animal, was on his way on horseback to Ahmednagar. Just as he was galloping by the Meherabad hospital, he accidentally fell from his horse and was knocked unconscious. Several of the mandali ran to help him while others went to inform Baba. Baba soon arrived at the scene and instructed the mandali to take Wasker to the hospital where he was comfortably kept and treated, despite his known animosity.
Previously, a middle-aged Hindu would come to visit Baba occasionally. His wife was seriously ill and for years the man had tried unsuccessfully to cure her by going on pilgrimage to different holy places in India and performing charities in her name. Baba assured him that not only would his wife recover but also she would bear him a son.
Months passed. At nine o'clock at night on 22 September, the man unexpectedly arrived at Meherabad carrying sweets and flowers. He smiled broadly and conveyed the news that a son was born to him. With tears of joy, he kissed Baba's feet in gratitude.
After the man left, the Master explained to the mandali about the state after death:
A person dies when his sanskaras are exhausted — spent in full. After a person dies, his sanskaras snap the mind's connection with the gross body. At that time he receives such a shock that he forgets every incident of his past life. But even though the gross body drops, the mind and the subtle body remain full of sanskaras.
