Gulnar and Sheroo had been in Baba's contact since childhood.
Baba would ask them, "Who am I?"
"God!" they chorused.
"What does God look like?"
"Like Baba!" said Gulnar.
"Bigger than even the sky!" shouted Sheroo.
Baba asked, "Do you love me or your parents more?"
"We love you more."
"Why?"
"Because you look so beautiful!" they replied.
Baba spent the night at Bindra House and returned to Pimpalgaon the next day. Four days later, on Thursday, 27 April 1944, Baba left at 7:00 A.M. to contact a mast in the village of Vaijapur in Sarosh's new Chevrolet (driven by Chhabu). Baidul, Chanji, Nilu and Pendu accompanied him. While passing through Rahata, Baba pointed out the tombs of Upasni Maharaj and Sai Baba, and bowed his head to them from the car.
The mast Baba was hunting was Harigiri Maharaj , but he could not be found in the town. A villager approached, informing them, "The mast told me this morning that someone was going to come to him today, and it was not good for him to remain here. He has disappeared." Pendu and Baidul went to look for him, but despite their search of almost three hours, they could not find him.
Baba instructed Chanji to approach some local people from Vaijapur and have them look for the mast. They, too, failed, but they were paid for their efforts.
Finally, Baba remarked, "If we don't find him by four o'clock, we'll go back."
At quarter past four, quite unexpectedly, a Muslim from the village approached them and told them the whereabouts of the mast. Baba walked with the Muslim across a river, accompanied by Nilu and Chanji.
After walking about a mile, they found the mast surrounded by villagers at a farm. Upon seeing Baba, Harigiri Maharaj said, "Let us go to our own abode." He took Baba by the hand, and led him to the side of a temple where they could sit in private. When the mandali had seen the mast in the midst of a crowd, they were wondering how to coax him to a secluded spot, as Baba always wished seclusion when working with a mast. Wonderfully, the mast himself saved them the trouble.
Within a short time the mast came back, followed by Baba. He sat down on the dry river bed, and Baba sat next to him. The crowd drifted to where they were, and although Baba usually preferred to be left alone, this time he continued to work with the mast in front of all the villagers. He pressed Harigiri Maharaj's legs for an hour and then declared that his work was done.
