It was the wine of love speaking through Pundit. How can
those who have never tasted this Wine ever understand it?
Although Ramjoo had stopped keeping a diary (as he had
done during the period of Manzil-e-Meem), he now began thinking of collecting
all the stories relating to the miraculous events surrounding the Master and
ashram boys.
During this time, as if reading his inner thoughts, Baba sent
Raosaheb to tell Ramjoo, "Baba wants you to write the adventures of Aga
Ali."
This was later developed into his book Sobs and Throbs , which
was based on diary notes then being kept by Chanji.
Aga Ali was not the only Prem Ashram boy to suffer
separation from the Master and risk grave dangers while escaping from his
parents' home to return to the ashram. Another was Kalingad, who had been taken away on the same day as Ali but
had managed to find his way back to Toka within a week. On 27 September,
however, Kalingad's elder brother again came to the ashram and took him
away. Within three days, the brother was back demanding Kalingad's return. The boy had escaped on the very day they reached Bombay, but had not yet turned
up at Toka. The brother eventually relented, seeing that Baba was truly the
light in Kalingad's heart, saying, "When he comes, let him remain
here," and he left.
On 1 October, Kalingad finally showed up and his brother
was immediately informed by telegram. A party was given at five in the afternoon
to celebrate his return.
Age too rejoiced: "Where there is a lamp, there are
moths. No one can understand the play between them without having the experience
of being a moth. Every nerve was strained to keep these moths away from the
lamp! But how could they survive without seeing the light burning in their
hearts?"
