Baba had been awake the whole night in the upper portion of the crypt-cabin, and only after Raosaheb informed him of the outcome of his negotiations with Ali's father did Baba retire to the crypt underground. It was by then 5:00 A.M.
When Ali awoke that morning, he was taken down the hill to meet his father who then returned to Bombay. To celebrate this happy occasion, Baba closed the school and took all the boys, teachers and the mandali to Happy Valley. He proclaimed it "Aga Ali Day," and he allowed the boys full freedom to roam about and play in Happy Valley. A delicious meal was served, and later, despite his fast of months, Baba accompanied the boys on two hikes.
During the second walk with the boys in the evening, Baba suddenly collapsed and, again, looked as pale as if he were about to breathe his last. The mandali anxiously carried him back to the Happy Valley dak bungalow where, within a short time, Baba revived and was again alert and active. These shocks and ordeals which Baba was undergoing were the inner effects of his work. How much Baba had to suffer because of Ali, he alone knew. Baba returned to Meherabad with the children that night, and the school was reopened the following day.
Life at the school ashram returned to a normal schedule again. In the course of his explanations on Monday, 5 March 1928, the Master revealed this about Jesus' statements:
If poor God were only to sit in heaven like a thief, then He must be pitied. If Jesus said that God is in heaven, then he was not the Christ. But I know that he was perfect and divine, God-incarnate, and never meant that.
What did Jesus really say? To the multitude he said, "God is in heaven; try to go there," and to that end he said [to overcome] certain temptations and sufferings.
To his followers he said, "God is everywhere; try to see Him," and gave explanations to that effect.
To the selected few [close circle of apostles] he said, "God is in me and in you, too," and actually revealed this to them.
Why did Jesus say different things? Owing to the time and the persons, according to their readiness to listen and understand. What Jesus meant was to leave all and follow him; that means to know him, see him, and experience him.
