The mast angrily rebuked him, "So you did not find any other man on whom you could throw the burden? I don't accept anything from anyone! And I don't give anything to anyone!"
Kaka returned, and Baba sent him back to lecture the mast on his uncooperative attitude. Kaka went and criticized the mast for being lazy and irresponsible, and then asked why he just sat there all day and did not take up his responsibility. The mast quietly heard him for a while and then flew into a rage, warning Kaka, "Leave here immediately!"
Kaka came back and told Baba everything. Baba had a good laugh. Although he did not contact the mast physically, it seems it was not necessary, as he had done his inner work through Baidul and Kaka. The masts are so intoxicated that there are times when the Wine is offered and flung away! The intoxicated have no consciousness of the Tavern Keeper and when He comes to offer more Wine to those mad in his love, some are willing and some are not! They had become like children, and Baba would do anything to keep them happy.
Baba, Kaka and Baidul returned to Hyderabad on 7 June. It had been terrifically hot during the journey and the intense heat affected Baba's health.
While in Hyderabad, Kaikobad, Narayan Nair (Krishna's brother) and C. S. Kavde were the day watchmen at the mandali's and Baba's bungalows, as no one was allowed to go inside.
Kavde had come for Baba's darshan in Meherabad in 1942 and had wished to stay with him. Baba had assured him he would be called sometime later, and he was now staying with Baba in Hyderabad.
One day Baba suddenly sent Baidul to bring Kavde from the mandali's residence. But he was not on duty; he had gone out. Baidul came back and informing Baba about it, added, "If there is any message for him, I'll convey it when he returns."
Baba scowled, "There's no message — I want to castrate him! Bring a sharp knife!"
All burst out laughing and when Kavde appeared and was told about it, he alone understood the deeper meaning behind Baba's words. The fact was that he was in love with a girl in Akkalkot and was constantly thinking about her. Though staying with Baba day and night in Hyderabad, Kavde was thinking only of this girl.
