But, whether the lovers are poor or rich, I am the slave of My lovers. All Hamirpur lovers should be patient as I will give darshan to them tomorrow from 8 to 11 A.M. Now let us start the darshan program. There is no need of introducing anyone as I know everyone. "

The darshan commenced at 8:05. Maharani Shantadevi came on the dais at 8:10 and garlanded Baba with a beautiful white rose garland; it was hand-made in fine material by a Parsi lover.

At 8.40 Baba stood up to wave to the lovers on the back chairs. Baba asked, "Can all see Me when I stand up? " Several lovers at the back waved that they could, while some waved a "no". I was reminded of what Baba had said once before, "Even those who see Me, do not see Me as I really am. "

Many brought garlands but, the best one was a pink rose garland that bloomed with glorious prodigality. Eruch put it round Baba 's neck.

During darshan, Baba in his inimitable way would look to everyone's feelings, moods and health, as the great engineer of life keeps ever the mechanics of living in order. For most lovers beloved Baba's feet would be their haven and this was clearly shown on their beaming faces after they had had darshan.

Some women tried to offer Baba money. Baba refused to accept it and advised the volunteers to inform everyone who came for his darshan that no one should offer Him any money.

The love of the women mandali for Baba was amply shown by the following incident: Adi K. Irani, Baba 's secretary, was standing behind Baba’s chair and whispering something in Baba's ear. A message from the women mandali to him said, "Do not stand behind Baba as He has to turn His neck to the side in order to hear you." Every movement of Babas neck is extremely painful and the slight extra strain on Baba's neck during the conversation was too much for His loving women mandali.

Today some lovers from Andhra who had not had Baba's darshan yesterday were the first in the queue. After them, lovers from the smaller Baba Centers joined the queue. The program ended with arti at 10:55. Baba waved to the crowd and disappeared behind the curtain as usual.

A sad incident on this day was when a young volunteer, Mr. A. S. Jagannatham of Vijayawada, after having had Baba's darshan, tripped over a rope and fell. He fractured his right femur. He was shifted to hospital where he was very brave. His only feat was that he would be deprived of darshan on the remaining two days of the sahavas. When we assured him that we would take him back to Baba, he was happy.
