Baba also indicated that the various agents he had contacted who were stationed in Sing Sing Prison, Lugano, Santa Margherita and Barcelona were all borrowed agents. The one in Warsaw, whom Herbert contacted, was an indirect agent. The Italian, named Christiano, whom Baba contacted in Rome, was a direct agent.

They left Barcelona at 7:00 P.M. and arrived twelve hours later in Marseilles on Thursday, 2 November 1933. Enid Corfe and Otto Haas-Heye were there to meet them. They went to the Bristol Hotel for breakfast and a bath; afterward Baba discussed matters in private individually with Herbert, Enid and Otto.

Baba boarded the SS Viceroy of India at noon and they all sat together in silence in his cabin before it was time to depart. In a splendid mood, Baba stated, "You do not see me as I really am. This body is not me; my Real Self is far more beautiful. I am Infinite Truth. I am Infinite Love. I am Life Eternal."

The whistle blew. Baba's words had been so powerful that Enid, Herbert and Otto felt dazed. They stood with tears in their eyes, and Baba embraced each of them before they left. Baba and the mandali sailed for India at two in the afternoon. Shortly thereafter, Herbert returned to Spain to stay in Avila as previously instructed. 

After ten days at sea, Baba and the mandali arrived in Aden during the early hours of Sunday, 12 November, where they collected their telegrams and mail.

Kitty Pahlen wrote to Baba:

Beloved Master, I am always longing to have some news from you which will give me so much strength again. My heart, my thoughts are always near you and I don't fear because I know, though things may look dark, that your divine help will come and always comes when it is needed. I know, beloved Master, that you know everything and that there is no distance that can separate those who love you.

There are days when I feel terribly sad, when it seems to me that my troubles will never end, but thanks to your divine help, it does not last, and I feel ashamed that I could not succeed to conquer those feelings completely. Because I must understand the real meaning of life to be a help for those who suffer and work for you! which is everything, and how grateful I must be to do it one day through your help.
