Several of the men, including Ajoba and Ardeshir Irani, went back to their homes at this time, and it seemed to foreshadow coming events.
The next day, 24 October, Baba sent some of the Prem Ashram boys to Happy Valley, where he intended to spend a few days. The boys left at five in the evening with Chhagan, Baidul, and Karim, and spent the night there. Baba arrived early the following morning at 3:30 with Chhota Baba, Jalbhai, Pesu, Rajaram, Ali Akbar, Aga Ali, Kalingad, Baban and Jawanmard driven by Adi Sr. At 5:30 A.M., Baba himself prepared tea and served it, and, with the help of the boys, he fried bhujias. Later Sarosh arrived, bringing vegetables and chapatis. In the afternoon Adi took Baba for a ride in the car for half an hour. After dinner Baba gathered the boys, and explained to them:
Just listen to me. If you commit mistakes I will forgive them not once but a million times, but do your best to do as I say. If you obey I will see to your progress.
Never be afraid of me. Suppose a child while playing puts a stone in his mouth and the mother sees it. Do you think she would stand passive at the sight? She would do her best to take the stone from his mouth or beat him. In the same way I am the mother of the universe, especially of you, and so what reason is there to fear anything? Never fear; I won't send you to Meher Ashram as I sent the other boys. I will see that you tread the Path.
Baba then distributed the toffees Adi had brought and informed the boys that while in Happy Valley they did not have to meditate.
The next three days passed pleasantly. Baba went for walks with the boys; on occasion he had phonograph records played and explained the meaning of the songs, and he joined in games with them. They left Happy Valley after a break of five days, returning to Toka at 8:30 P.M. on 28 October.
The next day Baba called the boys and reminded them not to be drowsy during meditation, informing them, "Abdulla [Chhota Baba] has received an inner shock and his heart is palpitating, but I will see that nothing happens to him. He has had some experience of divinity, but nothing of the sort will you have to pass through. I will make you Perfect."
