The stone wall was so thick that they only finished the work after several days of hard labor. One door was installed to the east room and another to the west room. Prior to this, to enter these two rooms, one had to climb a ladder and crawl in through a small window seven feet above the ground.
On 21 June, Ghani and Tyebali left at 6:00 A.M. A telegram was received from Baidul in Persia, informing Baba that the fourteen boys he was bringing to the school were held up at Bandar Abbas and barred from proceeding to India. Baba ordered that the necessary steps be taken for their clearance, sending a telegram to Rusi Irani in Quetta to intervene and expedite the matter.
On 22 June, Baba and the mandali were hosted at Dhake's residence in the city, in honor of his recent marriage. Adi's car got a flat tire while returning, so Baba walked to Kaka Shahane's, where he waited until the tire was fixed. He went to Chinchorkar's for lunch the following day, and also to Arangaon to witness a Hindu ceremony at the temple there.
After returning to Meherabad on the 22nd, Baba spoke about adepts, revealing that there were thirteen in the world.
"One of them [in England] has tremendous powers, unknown even to his own wife," Baba stated. "Certain powers are given to them, but they are not Realized. They will get Realization after they drop their body. They are under my direct supervision. I am in [inner] communication with them just now, directing them, hence this topic has come up."
Baba also remarked,
"Go to any saint and have his darshan; you will be benefited. But don't seek or follow their advice. To see or come in contact with a real wali [saint] is very beneficial. Walis are God's pets. At times, the impossible is made possible by God through their blessings."
Baba continued to spend time at the school and playing games with the boys, such as field hockey, cricket, and atya-patya. One evening he played a few games of draughts with the mandali.
On Thursday, 30 June 1927, Meher Ashram was shifted from the Family Quarters to Meherabad Hill, and to celebrate the occasion, Baba served tea and sweets to everyone. Bhajans were sung and afterwards games were played. An application was made to the railway authorities to construct a level-crossing across the railway tracks near the Post Office building, to facilitate access to the hill.
