THE SAHAWAS 313reminded him that he did not come three years ago when I called. Now he should either go back and settlewith the police or stay with me when he would get leprosy."There is no mention of this in any of the books, but it is recorded in Chanji's diary. He stayed with meand got leprosy, all the time repenting. I forgave him and instructed him to go out and beg for his food, tobe without money or women. Not to stay anywhere but to return after a year. He roamed about for twoyears and came back. He was cured of the disease. Now he loves me fully and longs to tell everyone aboutme."Baba called for a brief intermission and asked for music. Max H?fliger played a Swiss yodel record,explaining that when Baba went to Europe in '935 he enjoyed the sound of the yodelers after being inseclusion in the mountains. Max said, 'This record is only the seventh shadow of the real yodel'.

This time no one should keep fast orsilence but repeat seven times in a just audible voice (not shout) exactly at midnight between the 9th and10th of July according to your local time: "Beloved God, Thy will has come to pass".'
