What was the condition of the mosque before 1912, and how was it transformed?

Chapter 5 notes that the year 1912 marked the beginning of an entirely new phase for the mosque where Baba resided. Before this transformation, the dwelling was in a state of disrepair, with knee-deep holes in the ground. The change was brought about through the dedication of Baba's followers. In a remarkable display of devotion, the devotees worked through one night to pave the entire flooring with stones, resolving the issue of the holes and marking the real beginning of the mosque's transformation into a more suitable place.
