Most significant was Sheikh Malang Baba , a high mast, who lived in the Muslim shrine of Kudde Shah. Sheikh Malang was a mild-mannered jamali mast who had once been a judge in a lower court. He was a chain smoker of cigarettes, and because of his constant smoking and mild temperament, Baba compared this saintly man to Ali Shah of Ahmednagar.
From Gujranwala, Baba, Chanji, Baidul and Kaka traveled to Amritsar, where Baba made a contact. They spent the night on the station platform, and at 5:30 A.M. on the 16th took a train back to Lahore, where Baba continued his mast work.
Baba began fasting on liquids, chiefly lemon water, on Sunday, 19 September 1943 and continued it for seven days, breaking it on the 26th. During this fast, on the 21st, eight masts were brought to Baba's bungalow, where they were bathed, fed and clothed by him. All except one good mast were sent back the same day. Baba kept that one mast with him for two or three days.
As Age reminds us: "One should not presume that, because Baba was the Avatar, his frequent fasts left him unaffected. To fast for six days on water affected him just as much as it would an ordinary man. Even while fasting, Baba would not slacken his pace or desist from his usual travels to contact masts. Baba's stamina was truly astonishing. Those who have fasted for any length of time can attest to just how difficult it is to be so energetic while not eating."
On 28 September, Baba, accompanied by Baidul and Chanji, returned to the village of Kul Mokal to contact the revered mast Saiyid Ahmad Shah again. After the contact, a hospitable Sikh zamindar (landowner), who did not know Baba, brought a sumptuous meal to the station platform for Baba and the mandali.
On the morning of the 30th, Baba contacted Nawab Ali Shah in a suburb of Lahore called Baghbanpura. Baidul had found this mast a few days before, and at that time the mast had told him, "I want to go to Aligarh, but the road is closed for me ... There is a world-famous doctor in Lahore; I will ask his permission. If he gives it, I will go." Baidul asked the doctor's name. The mast replied, " Mauni [the Silent One], and you have come from him. Therefore, I am very, very happy."
