Baba spotted him walking out of the courtroom and took him aside. This time the mast asked for a dhoti, which Baba gave him along with some sweets. Also in the precincts of the court was a mastani known as Lohewali . The courtroom was unique, since it had two God-intoxicated souls who would frequently attend its proceedings.
Baba also worked with Gumani Baba , a good, majzoob-like mast of Bahraich. But at the time of contact, when Baba put a plate of food in front of the mast, Gumani refused to eat.
This put Baba in an ill mood and he remarked, "The mast's uncooperative attitude has put an additional burden upon me."
They left and after about an hour Baba sent Chhagan and Vishnu back to see if the mast had eaten the food. He had, and when this was reported to Baba he became happy and was then pleased with the contact.
Baba returned to Ayodhya from Bahraich on 23 April, where he contacted Ghafur Pathan , who lived in a room attached to a mosque. He was 60 years old then, but as a young man Ghafur had wandered naked in the jungle for some 25 years before settling in the mosque. Baba contacted two other advanced souls in Ayodhya, Aghor Sadhu and Shankarji Sadhu , and then left by train for Benares.
In Benares the next day, Sunday, 24 April 1949, Baba worked with a stout mast named Lakaria Baba who, for a mast, was unusually dressed because he was in clean clothes. Lakaria would give people pieces of wood and string as good luck charms. Baba asked Eruch to write the mast's name and address on a piece of paper and remind him about this when they returned to Mount Abu. When they returned four days later, Eruch reminded Baba, who told him to again note down the mast's name and where they found him on a clean piece of paper. After doing this, Eruch gave the paper to Baba, who put it on the table beside his bed. Six days later, on 4 May, Baba picked up the paper, wadded it into a ball and directed Eruch to throw it into a well. Eruch threw it in the well situated on the same lane as the men's house (which the mandali had renamed from Bhisti Nallah to Beastly Nallah , because of the wretchedness of the neighborhood!)
