An estimation of construction cost and the work of preparing a blueprint were to be given to some well-known architect from Bombay. Although none knew it at the time, Baba was describing what would be his Tomb at Meherabad, built ten years later.
On 11 May, Baba told Rustom privately that the building Baba was proposing should be completed before he speaks.
“”"I will have many more important things to do once I break my silence," Baba added, "including the perfection of my circle. But as long as Babajan is alive, the work of perfecting my circle is not possible. Therefore, I am very anxious to bring Meher Ashram to such a level that, after I speak, the running of the institution can be continued properly by a trustworthy and sincere worker like Borker, so I can be free to go on tour."
Day by day, the number of pupils in the school increased and there were discussions about extending the building and constructing more classrooms. No definite decision was made, however.
“”But Baba did state: "The mandali and boys staying at Meherabad are indeed most fortunate. By staying here, all will be greatly helped in reaching the Goal. And even if no benefit accrues to the boys in this life, they will definitely attain their aim after a few more births."
Later that day, Baba severely reprimanded Dhake and Nisal for not meditating according to his orders.
“”"Both should pack off after dinner," Baba stated angrily. "It is useless and harmful for them to stay here if they are going to neglect my orders. Any of you who do not fulfill an order once given will suffer. That is why I don't wish you to break my orders. It is better if you don't stay here than break my orders deliberately. The consequences are very grave. If Dhake and Nisal do not wish to meditate they should say so, ask my permission, get themselves freed, and then not do it. That would be quite all right."
Both asked Baba's forgiveness. Dhake explained that he had simply forgot. In fact, he did not like to meditate, but now he had no choice. Before staying with Baba, Dhake attached great importance to meditation, but he had since learned that the best meditation was to carry out the Master's wishes. Baba then gestured to Ramjoo to meditate in Dhake's place. But Ramjoo requested that Baba free him of this order.
