Baba of course did not care about the money; the mandali were only trying to make Haji listen to reason. Ali's father left, but was disturbed and did not return to Bombay. He went to Ahmednagar and reported the matter to the police.
On 11 August, Baba began giving discourses to the boys again, which he had stopped since January. Explaining about the transitoriness of life, he stated:
Sin and virtue, good and bad, heaven and hell are all bindings because they are transitory [and illusory states]. But such truths cannot be mentioned to the outside world because most of mankind lacks the preparedness and understanding to digest such knowledge. If some things are revealed, instead of being enlightened, people may fumble more in the darkness of their ignorance. Instead of making a good impression, if such things are not properly explained, the outside world would have a very distorted, bad impression about the things I tell you.
The Master was in a splendid mood that night after arti. At 8:30 he revealed to the mandali that a pir in Africa on the sixth plane had just given up his body, and at that moment Baba felt a shock. He also disclosed that there was an advanced soul between the fifth and sixth planes in Baghdad, who acknowledged himself as Meher Baba's disciple.
"There is another one in Egypt on the fifth plane," Baba stated. "He too has full powers, but he is unknown [to the general public]."
The following day, there was a quarrel between Baily and Buasaheb. Buasaheb wanted to know who had given Baily tea and bread without his permission. It was a petty matter and Buasaheb stirred up a storm unnecessarily. Baba severely took him to task over it, and Buasaheb apologized for being overzealous.
After Buasaheb acknowledged his mistake, Baba ordered him to place his head on Baily's feet, which he did. But this did not pacify Baily who wished to be transferred to Rustom's department in the ashram.
While permitting it, Baba remarked to him, "If despite Buasaheb's apology your heart has not forgiven him, then you have no heart."
This, in turn, made Baily apologize.
The men mandali's department was officially referred to as Meherabad (even though they were living at Toka), but as mentioned before, Pendu had humorously named it the Harijan Department due to the poor quality of food being served. On 13 August, Baba renamed it Maharwada , meaning the Mahar Locality where low-class people live.
