In the early morning, a holiday was declared for the schoolboys to play games and enjoy themselves, and at noon the mandali washed Baba's feet and recited his arti. Bomanji and his family returned after a brief absence. They were kept in Gadekar's room, and Gadekar was shifted to the Post Office.
The next morning, Memo arrived to see Baba about her son Adi Jr., whom she had heard was not keeping well. She had a long discussion with Baba about sending one of her sons, either Beheram or Jalbhai, home to be married so that at least one of them would be there to look after Sheriarji and herself in their old age. Baba would not commit himself, and Memo left in the evening without an answer.
That day, Ramaji came crying to Baba, lamenting that what little of Baba's light he had been seeing was now gone. "Why?" he asked, pleading. "Why have you taken it away?"
Baba put Ramaji's head on his lap and raised it again, putting his fingers on his forehead.
“”He then asked, "Do you see it now?"
"Yes! Yes!" Ramaji exclaimed. Baba explained that Ramaji was experiencing a slight opening of his inner [third] eye.
Chhota Baba was questioned further about his state the same day. When asked what he remembered when he fell unconscious, Chhota Baba said he remembered having seen Baba "entering" his body. When he was being brought to consciousness to the gross from the subtle (being given an enema) he said it felt "as if Shri was snatching away that bliss."
The following is Chhota Baba's firsthand account, related years later, of what happened to him when the Master lifted him to the sixth plane:
One day, at the end of a discourse, Baba looked deeply into the faces of each child, one by one, and remarked, "Those whom I find worthy I shall attract to the Mistress of Love, and I shall offer them the elixir of life. Children, only Truth is real — all else is worthless." Although I did not have the strength to look into Baba's radiant countenance and lowered my eyes, he glanced at me, addressing me thus: "Try and be diligent. I shall make pure gold from your mixed alloy."
The profound effect that his remark had upon me put me in a most bewildered state during that night and the next day. While playing field hockey, my schoolmates were puzzled as they noticed my manner of standing, running, and also the color of my face change.
