During his watch, Baba casually asked Bhau, "Did you get a chance to speak with Keshav?" Bhau replied that he had seen him for a few minutes before coming for nightwatch. "What did Keshav say?"

"Not much," Bhau replied. "I was asking him about the work being done in Hamirpur."

"What else?"

"Nothing. I only spoke with him for a few moments."

"Nothing else was discussed?"

At last the subject Bhau was trying to avoid had to be confronted, and Bhau admitted, "He said that there was a need for your biography in Hindi."

"Yes, Keshav is right," Baba said. "Why don't you write it?"

Bhau pleaded, "I am fed up with this writing work. There is no time these days for such a large work. Please, no more!"

For the time being, Baba did not say anything further and the subject was dropped.

Baba's former night watchman, Krishna Nair, arrived in Ahmednagar unexpectedly and met Adi. He wished to see Baba, but Adi informed him that at present Baba was not seeing anyone. Krishna decided to try and he took a bus to Meherazad, arriving at 2:00 P.M. Pukar was on watch by the gate, but at first he did not recognize him. He told Krishna to leave, but Krishna asked him to inform Baba that it was he who had arrived. When notified, Baba called him inside his room. Baba was alone. He asked Krishna, "Why have you come?"

"I wanted to see you. You have given me permission to see you whenever I like."

"You have seen me, now go. But when will you come again?"

"I can come anytime you call me," Krishna answered.

Baba gestured, "No, you won't see me for a long, long time. Now it is finished. Go straight back to Bombay." Krishna returned to Bombay. He realized only later what Baba meant by "a long, long time," as this was Krishna Nair's last physical meeting with his Master.
