Bhau would number and group them according to Baba's instructions, and Pukar would prepare a list of them. Some letters Baba would have read four or five times — at times forgoing his lunch to continue having the letters read out. He would also remember his lovers throughout the world during the night, and in this way the Beloved gave his lovers a chance to share in his seclusion work. He even commented, "My lovers help to lessen my burden.".

Lovers and devotees who did not send replies in time (they had been told to reply before 20 November) would be sent reminders. Individual letters from each member of certain families were also received, although the circular had been addressed only to the head of the family. Baba himself would sometimes recall certain persons in one particular family who would be sent separate reminders. For instance, special circulars were forwarded to the wife of Vinoo Kher in Nagpur, Adi Dubash's son Merwan in Karachi, and Srivastava's daughter Saroj in Allahabad. Afterwards, all of these individuals surrendered to Baba with deep love for him. Separate circulars were dispatched to Nafde's wife and children in Bhopal, who were already devoted to Baba.

In this way, Baba would remember many persons during the night, and Bhau had to send a long list to Adi every morning. Baba's instructions were that circulars had to be sent to each one, and in some cases personal letters as well. It went on every night, until Bhau started thinking: "Because Baba is not able to sleep, this is his pastime."

One night Baba asked him, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing," Bhau replied, as usual.

Baba was in a good mood and explained, "Do you know why I descend on earth? I come on earth in order to worship the love of my lovers — and this is a way in which I worship. They worship me, and I worship them. They remember me, and I remember them. This is not my pastime."

Age noted how during this period, Baba was mostly remembering his lovers all over the world. "By remembering them throughout the night," it observed, "he was making an offering of his love to them and worshiping their love for him."

Bhau was punctual in his duty near Baba, presenting himself every day in Baba's room upstairs at 6:30 P.M. and leaving each morning at 6:30 A.M. But one day, because he had to jot down some additional names before he left, he was two minutes late in leaving the room. Baba's habit was that after the watchman had left in the morning, Mehera would be the first to greet him, and then the rest of the women mandali.
