"I don't want to come. Whenever you go out anywhere, you never take me. Why should I be invited this time?"
"Do as I tell you," Baba gestured. "It is not good to talk back to me!"
Krishna finally gave in, and Baba added, "Rano will give you tea and breakfast at five in the morning. After breakfast, bring a tonga and we will both proceed to Hardwar."
After his watch was over at 4:00 A.M., Krishna went to his room. He took a bath and went out to look for a tonga. When Rano could not find him for breakfast, she told Baba. While a search was made, Krishna returned with the tonga.
Upset, Baba scolded him, "I had told you to go for the tonga after breakfast. Why did you go before?"
Krishna explained, "Tongas are not readily available at such an early hour, Baba. I left so we would be sure to get one and not be delayed in departing."
"Who told you to use your brain?! Just listen to what I say. What you did was not good. Never disobey my order."
Krishna had his breakfast, and again mulled over Baba's seemingly demonic tendencies. Baba took his seat in the tonga with Krishna.
On the way, a few empty tongas passed by and Baba teasingly remarked, "And you said that tongas were unavailable. Now look how many there are!"
Reaching Hardwar by train, Baba occupied a room in a dharamshala.
Staying inside, he directed Krishna, "Lock the door from outside, and go find out where Maujwala Baba stays."
Krishna left accordingly. He found where Maujwala's abode was and came back and told Baba.
Baba immediately set out with Krishna in a tonga to contact the mast. The place was six miles away. Baba gestured to Krishna to ask the tonga driver if there were any masts along the way. The driver responded, "Yes, half a mile away there is Nanga Baba . He has been standing on one foot under a tree for years. After six months, he switches to the other leg. But the tonga cannot go there as the road is too rough." Nearing the place, Baba got down and instructed Krishna to tell the driver to wait. The driver wanted double the fare for waiting, which Baba agreed to pay.
Baba indicated to Krishna, "Walk slowly behind; I am going ahead."
As Krishna followed at a distance, he observed an unusually splendid sight.
