The mandali were impressed with the boys' ability to solve the difficult clues. The game was played from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M., followed by washing of Baba's feet.
At 8 A.M. the next morning, Saturday, 1 September 1928, a gathering was held in the new quarters of the Prem Ashram. Baba explained about the four types of samadhi, and then dictated:
For God-realization, all experienced mahatmas say, "Go to a Sadguru. Serve him; love him; and remain in his shelter." Swami Vivekananda, in his [book on the] life of Ramakrishna Paramhansa [ My Master ], expresses his opinion that God must be worshiped as man, i.e., as an incarnation of God, and blessed are those races which have such incarnations of God to worship. These incarnations are living Gods on Earth. These Man-Gods are real Gods who have been worshiped [in ages past].
Of what use and advantage are mere mystical principles? We must put our faith and our hope in these Man-Gods. When we think of them, they enter our soul and make us like them. Therefore, meditate on me because I am a Sadguru.
Baba ended by saying, "Love me sincerely. None will repent for having loved me. None will repent for having served me. None will repent for having surrendered to me — though at present you may feel so!"
At two in the afternoon a cricket match was played. In the evening a program of comical skits and speeches was held in the House of Nonsense , the name given by Baba to the evening sessions in the dining hall where, for the previous several days, regular entertainment programs were staged. That night there were humorous songs, speeches, and plays. Ramjoo excelled by speaking in four different languages, composing nonsense poetry and changing his hat every few minutes to suit his varied presentation. Bhau Cheema also performed a small farce.
The next day, Kaikhushru Masa, his wife Soonamasi, and Pilamai left Toka for Bombay, from where Pilamai traveled on to Karachi.
On the evening of 3 September, there was a discussion about poets and Baba remarked:
Persian poets are the best, followed by the Urdu ones and then the Marathi poets. In English, only Wordsworth and Shelley are of that caliber. Hafiz's poems are truly the most inspiring and revealing. Rumi's and Shams' are philosophical, but they are filled with beauty and truth.
Baba added, "Our Khak Saheb, after he gains 'experience' will be inspired, and a flow of writing will pour forth from him in the future, which will be extraordinary."
The children greatly enjoyed this period of being in Baba's constant company. They were allowed many liberties that no adult would have dared before the Master. On several occasions they persuaded Baba to be photographed after they dressed him in different attire — as a farmer, a king and as Lord Ram. Baba had informed them that one day he intended to visit Europe and America, so they even dressed him in a Western suit.
At four o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday, 4 September 1928, he allowed them to dress him as a local farmer. The children wrapped a long, white dhoti around Baba, made him wear a silk coat and wrapped a rose-colored turban on his head. Baba then took his seat in the rickshaw and was pulled by the boys and the mandali to the banks of the river at five o'clock.
