109. "When Ba calls me"

On the day Ba died, in the afternoon, at four o'clock Dr. Sushila Nayar went to Bapu and said, "Will you please take charge of Ba? For, I would like to have some rest."

Bapu answered, "Very well, but I shall keep watch over her from where I am working. For, there are already several people sitting around her bedside. Of course, when she calls me, I shall at once go to her."

And lo! soon afterwards it came to pass that, feeling extremely restless, Ba called out aloud, "Bapu".

Immediately Bapu went up to Ba and she breathed her last in his lap.
