The next day, the weather was cloudy and full of gloom, reflecting Baba's mood.
He complained, "I am fed up with everything and everybody! And the climate here is terrible. What earthly good is my coming to Toka if the [spiritual] purpose for which I have come is not served?"
He added, "I will stop eating and remain only on milkless tea, wearing only a loincloth."
He took off his sadra and remained in his baggy chaddis (boxers).
Soon afterward, Baba became quite restless and began walking about from one place to another.
He would sit down and then immediately stand up and move on again. He did not remain in one position, sitting or lying down, for more than half a minute. No one could guess the reason or alleviate his apparent anxiety and distress. The mystery was solved the following day, when Aga Ali's father arrived in Toka, demanding his son's return. Haji had heard a vicious rumor and was upset. However, due to Raosaheb's convincing assurances that his son was quite well, he calmed down and left. Only then did the mandali understand the reason for Baba's restlessness the previous day.
On Thursday, 14 June 1928, Baba prepared a timetable for the boys in the Prem Ashram and laid down the usual rules for the mandali concerning every facet of their life. Buasaheb was appointed manager of the ashram.
Referring to him, Baba remarked, "Though Buasaheb is reasonable, the tone and the way he talks with people is not befitting. For instance, instead of saying, 'My mother,' he says, 'My father's wife!' He serves me faithfully and with all his heart, but he puts people off by his manner of speaking."
Adi Sr. arrived in Toka and spent the night, returning to Ahmednagar the next day. During this period, Rustom, Dolly, and Gulmai were staying with Baba, while Adi was living in Khushru Quarters with his father Khansaheb and running any errands that needed to be done in Ahmednagar.
On 15 June, a new seat was made for Baba near the Table Cabin. Zoroaster's birthday was observed, and Baba made a special visit to the women mandali's quarters to allow them to perform his arti. He would go to see them every day, making certain that they were living strictly according to his orders.
During 1928, Meher Baba's name and message began to spread in certain circles in Europe.
