A stout and sturdy Pathan and a weak, scrawny Marwari were not on good terms. The Marwari hated the Pathan but, owing to his size, he was unable to give him the beating he felt he deserved. Once, he saw the Pathan at a distance coming toward him. He gathered some of his Hindu friends near him and said, "Friends, this Pathan is a very treacherous fellow. Though I behave with him in the most polite way, he treats me very rudely. I will prove it to you. Please help me to teach him a good lesson."
By this time, the Pathan came near. The Marwari, with a smiling face, shook hands with him and embraced him; but as he did so he whispered in his ear, "You son of a pig!" These words were enough to rouse the feelings of the Pathan and make him fly into a rage. He began to hit the Marwari. Not knowing the real situation, those who were standing nearby sided with the Marwari, and the Pathan got a sound thrashing.
Baba related this with such animated gesturing, imitating so perfectly the Marwari, the Pathan and their fight, that everyone was laughing heartily. This concluded the evening meeting and Baba left for Meherazad.
Returning the next morning at 7:30 A.M. on Tuesday, 4 November 1952, Baba inquired about the health of everyone present. He was in a happy mood. He summoned the five "priests" — Kaikobad, Kalemama, Ramjoo, Murli and Daulat Singh. Murli had not yet come, so someone went to bring him.
Baba cracked, "He is so lazy that even if I were to promise him God-realization, he would not come on time!"
When Murli came Baba asked each of the five to repeat seven times a short prayer he dictated glorifying God.
Ramjoo was to read from the Koran on Baba's behalf the next day, but he had a cold, so Baba remarked, "May he be relieved of his cold by tomorrow."
He then suggested, "What if he takes medicine from Baidul? With Baidul there is no such thing as checking or studying one's symptoms. Baidul administers his medicine in his own way, and the patient is either totally cured or his heart beats no more!"
Baba gestured, "As there will be a special and serious program beginning 7 November, let us have some light talk today."
Feram was not feeling well and Baba commented, "Why worry, Feram? Perhaps you will outlive all of us!"
