Just as there are infinite varieties of things in the gross world, so there are an infinite variety of things in the subtle realm. A yogi gets hold of one of these things [powers] and gains control over the vibration pertaining to that particular thing.
The spiritualists — true spiritual aspirants, saints and Masters — on the other hand, do NOT indulge in these petty playthings, because once Realization of God is attained, all powers come to him and emanate from him. It is all bliss which he himself experiences, and that bliss permeates everything and flows from none other than himself!
Chanji was not well in Raipur, and Goher was told to look after him. When Chanji had recovered somewhat, he was sent to Srinagar on 12 July to make advance arrangements.
On Friday, 14 July 1944, accompanied by Kaka and Baidul, Baba set out from Raipur for mast contacts in Amraoti, Ellichpur, Basim, Badnera, Tatanagar and other places. In the village of Dhamangaon, Baba worked with a saint called Mungsaji Maharaj . July is the middle of the monsoon season, and it was pouring down rain while Baba was hunting for masts. He had to walk three miles through the mud and slush to reach Mungsaji, and when returning, had to travel fifteen miles in a bullock cart over very rough roads.
Mungsaji Maharaj was famous throughout Central India. When asked about Meher Baba, Mungsaji Maharaj would refer to him as "The Emperor." Mungsaji sat in a man-made cave that had been excavated to become his shrine after he died. Once a week, there was a festival in his honor, at which he would give public darshan and, at the same time, provide free food to the multitude of poor people of the surrounding area.
In Badnera, Baba contacted an old mast called Badri Baba , who in a majzoob-like state would for a day or two (sometimes longer) continue standing in a particular position without moving — absolutely still like a stone idol or statue. Sometimes he would lie on the ground in one position, without moving, for two or three days.
In the village of Karanjgaon near Ellichpur, Baba again worked with Gulabsha, whom Baba had first contacted in 1939 when the mast was brought to the Jabalpur mast ashram. Gulabsha was a "wild and frenzied" mast-saint of the sixth plane and was greatly revered. His reverence for Meher Baba was evident to all, as the saint would say in Baba's presence, "I am not fit to sit beside you."
