Age has no idea of what work Baba was doing with the mast by having his name written down and then discarded. "Unraveling Baba's mysterious actions is but conjecture," Age explains, "and is left to the reader's imagination."
Baba also contacted a subtle conscious woman known as Rukhi Mastani . She was found near the Benares train station, naked except for a thick accumulation of rags that she had wrapped around her stomach. Alongside a road in Benares, under a tree, was Vishwanathji Mastan , who repeated over and over, " I am God ... I am God." Later, Baba worked with two masts and also contacted four seekers.
The most exceptional contact, and the last mast contact Baba made in Benares, occurred on 25 April. It was with the very high mast known as Batwa Shah .
That very morning Baba had remarked to the mandali, "If I can contact at least one very good mast today, my trip will be a success."
The mandali diligently set about the task, and the famous figure in Benares known as Batwa Shah was found. He was a great mast, who had been born of a wealthy family in Ghazipur. However, this former nobleman now was covered with lice and was thus also known as Juwa Shah — meaning the "Lice King."
At times he acted like a salik, at times like a majzoob. He carried sheets of paper with him which he would fill with writing, using a long pencil. For the most part, his writing was indecipherable. Fond of children, Batwa Shah was always surrounded by them and would feed them.
Baidul went to him early in the morning. There was a mosque nearby, and Baidul suggested that the mast accompany him there. But Batwa Shah resisted, uttering with deep feeling: "I have forgiven the mosque. I have stopped going to it, so how can I enter it? I won't."
Then Chhagan, Eruch and Vishnu tried to coax him to another site where Baba could contact him privately. The mast would not budge. In the evening Eruch was sent back to Batwa Shah to plead with him to allow contact, and the mast replied that he would see Baba at nine that night. (Baba had also gone near him three times during the day.) When Baba arrived, the mast was sitting on the edge of a cot on the road. Baba sat next to him and the contact with him began.
