But where was he to get chickpeas in the middle of the mountains? Luckily, with the aid of one of the Nepalese coolies, Eruch located some, and Chhagan prepared the medication and applied it to Baba's rash. But the next morning, the preparation had gotten so sticky that Baba could not separate his legs, and warm water had to be applied gently to remove it. It took half the day to remove the "gook" from Baba's skin — but it did heal the rash.
After this, another emergency had to be faced. The days of walking in the intense summer heat had proven to be too much for Kaka, who was 57. He suffered a heart attack. Fortunately, it was a minor one, and after resting a while he managed to continue.
After walking all day and spending the nights at Nakori, Dharasau and Syansu, Baba and the men left Syansu at 4:30 on the morning of Friday, 16 April 1948 and trekked to Tehri Garhwal. They carried kerosene lanterns to light the way. Since the road was being paved, it was full of heaps of rubble, causing them to occasionally stumble as they walked. Finally, they reached Tehri, where Baba and the men took a bus to Rishikesh the following morning. From there, they proceeded immediately to Hardwar, and boarded a train to Delhi. Upon arriving in Delhi, they took a train to Agra, which they reached on the evening of the 18th.
Baba worked in Agra for three days, contacting seven masts and a number of seekers. Among the most interesting was Majzoob Baba , a high mast in filthy rags, who sat across the street from the mental hospital and constantly muttered to himself. This mast referred to himself as the "Emperor of Agra," and perhaps he was, though naturally a stranger might think he belonged across the street in the mental hospital.
Another was Haji Baba , a good mast who lived in a room in a mosque and constantly gave away money. Haji used to tell people that he lived in a "tavern" where he drank wine. That day, the Saki himself was gracing his tavern to refill his cup, to intoxicate him even more!
Leaving Agra by the Punjab Mail at noon on Wednesday, 21 April 1948, Baba returned to Ahmednagar the next afternoon, driven by Adi Sr. from Manmad Junction.
At the end of the tour Baba explained, "I had planned to contact 56 advanced souls, and this has been done. I am therefore satisfied with the successful conclusion of our trip, though it meant undergoing hardships on the way."
