Baba went to Meherabad on October 6th. (1952), where he discussed with Pendu and Padri arrangements being made for the November gathering.
Jal Kerawala was in Bombay, when he received Baba’s instruction to leave Bombay for Nagpur on October 2nd. Due to some important appointment which could not be changed, Jal was unable to do so and left instead three days later. During the train ride, he suffered a heart attack, and on reaching Nagpur he was rushed to a hospital. He passed away at midnight on October 6th without regaining consciousness. Hearing of his demise, Baba sent this telegram to Meherjee the following day: “I wanted Jal to leave on Thursday, but what God decrees must come to pass, and Jal has now come to me eternally.” (1)
Papa and Gaimai Jessawala were cabled: “Be brave and happy in the knowledge that Jal is more alive than ever before and happy in me. So, take it as divine will and do not grieve at all.”
(1) Before starting on his journey to America, Baba had called Jal Kerawala to him in Meherazad on the pretext of borrowing four hundred rupees from him. In truth, it was so that Jal could have a final opportunity of seeing his Beloved Master. Here, “To come to Baba,” means that Jal Kerawala would be born into a Baba family in his next life.
