Narayan Maharaj had come to Nasik to attend the wedding of one of his devotees on the morning of 18 March 1930.
Rustom informed Baba of his arrival, but Baba only remarked, "I send my love and blessings to Narayan."
Rustom, Pendu, Raosaheb, and Naval decided to see Narayan Maharaj without first seeking Baba's permission. Upon seeing Narayan, Naval asked him if he could bring his family to meet him, but Narayan refused as he was leaving Nasik soon.
Shortly after they returned to Sarosh Motor Works, a violent argument ensued between Naval and a business associate. It was a terrible scene. Naval had to be physically restrained, but he still managed to injure his leg in the scuffle. When Baba found out that they had gone to pay their respects to Narayan Maharaj, he called Raosaheb and reprimanded him:
Why did you go to see Narayan Maharaj without my permission? And if you wanted to go, why go when I am right here in Nasik? It is a general rule that devotees of one Master do not go to another without permission, particularly when they are staying in the same place.
Not one of you knows why. Two Masters, though they are internally one, cannot be served. If you say you have no Master except me, then why should you go to another at all, especially while I am staying here? It is against the law. It is not a small mistake; it is very serious. That is why I did not give permission when Rustom told me about the marriage, and sent only my blessing. But none of you could understand this, and the result of your disobedience was the rowdy and troublesome scene unnecessarily created at Sarosh Motor Works when you returned. If this fight had not occurred, all of you would have died! Learn a lesson from this and take it as a warning.
There was a Muslim named Ghani Baba residing in Nasik whom some believed to be a wali. His brother, Ismail Baba, had met Baba at Gyas Manzil some days before.
