Later that day, several people arrived to see Baba: Barsoap, Chowdhary, Jamadar, and Sayyed Saheb came from Poona, and Memo came a few days later with Mani, Adi Jr. and Beheram. Waman the tailor joined the group from Ahmednagar.
On the 27th, Baba and a few of the mandali took a drive to Khandala, a nearby tourist area. While returning, Baba pointed to Dr. Bhiwalkar's Nature Cure Health Home, a private nursing home for "drugless healing" that Dr. R. Bhiwalkar, a follower, had recently opened. Baba signaled the car to be stopped and he asked the doctor if he could come inside for a tour. Dr. Bhiwalkar was thrilled. He had been informed that Baba was to pass his residence while going to Khandala so he had been waiting with his family to have a glimpse of Baba. Baba went into each room and even signed the visitor's book.
On Sunday morning, 28 November 1926, the son of the Walvan bungalow's owner came with three of his friends and insisted on going toward the north side of the house where the women mandali were staying. Pesu tried to stop the young fellows, but they would not listen, apparently unaware that the premises had been leased for Baba's use. The mandali gathered and explained the situation to them, but the intruders would not leave. The mandali surrounded them, barring their entry. The youngsters started abusing the mandali and calling them cowards. According to Baba's instruction, the mandali were not allowed to raise a hand to teach these ruffians a lesson. But after another verbal confrontation, the teenagers left still grumbling and swearing at the mandali as they walked away.
Baba had witnessed the scene from his room and, as soon as the boys left, he called the mandali outside for a game of marbles. The situation had been extremely tense and most of the men were seething with suppressed anger.
But after playing for some time, Baba remarked, "If you men, who are always with me and who have listened to so many of my lectures, loose your temper and become angry when provoked, how can worldly people be blamed if they behave in the same way? They are ignorant! Brothers, let us forgive them their bad manners and rude behavior because they 'know not what they do.' Despite their abuses and rash behavior, they will be benefited as they came within my bounds."
