When Baba was on his way from one place to another, people would stand on the roadside out of reverence, and Baba would have to get out of his car to give them darshan. While he was on his way to Ingohta, about 500 men, women and children from the village of Sumerpur had waited for hours for his arrival alongside the dirt road. They raised a small platform for Baba to give darshan, and he lovingly acceded.
Mass darshan was a time of tempestuous, nonstop activity, day and night, that started many "fires," which eventually inflamed the entire district. Those with Baba could rest only after they reached Ingohta on Thursday, 20 November 1952, where accommodations for Baba and the mandali had been made at Laxmichand Paliwal's home. But for Baba, his only "rest" was discomforts and hardships! Baba agreed to visit Bindra Prasad Nigam's home, where his family requested permission to perform Baba's arti and puja. Upon Baba's agreement, the worship ceremony started and luminous rays of love penetrated the room, causing the whole gathering to weep. Baba, with great tenderness, cut the tearful ceremony short and hastily left the house.
Thereafter, for about an hour he was restless. He began walking back and forth opposite Paliwal's residence. At times, he would come to a sudden stop, as if gazing steadily at something in the distance. Becoming uneasy, he would occasionally sit down on the ground in the dust, immersed in his internal working. Baba did not look around and was oblivious to the surroundings. People sat like statues, silently looking at him. Baba's right-hand fingers moved rapidly while he was in this solemn mood.
After about half an hour, the indescribable silence at sunset was broken when Pukar loudly cried, "BABA!" Pukar had, up to this point, been fixedly staring at Baba. Now he could no longer contain himself and said, "Baba, when I was a child I once dreamt of Lord Ram. This is the exact spot in my dream where I had seen Ram and had his darshan!"
Baba looked at Pukar and seemed to smile slightly. Still, he appeared quite distant, and there was a vacant look in his eyes. Everything again became still. Baba stood up and casually rested one foot on a nearby ledge. Hardly a few seconds had passed when there was a loud thud. Pukar had fainted on the ground!
