Be ye inheritors of this Life Eternal which comes to those who seek!
In the town of Jarakhar, Sripat Sahai had arranged private accommodations for Baba and the mandali in a school building. The schoolboys there would perform daily drills, shouldering wooden guns. "Commander-in-Chief" Kumar thought of having them parade for Baba. Baba appeared, and without having been told of Kumar's idea, instructed him to start the parade. Kumar began leading the youngsters, and Baba beamed as the children saluted him. This message from Baba, titled "Be Soldiers of God," was given there:
Let us become the soldiers of God. Let us struggle for the Truth. Let us live not for our own selves but for others. Let us speak truly, think truly and act truly. Let us be honest, as God is Infinite Honesty. Let us return love for hatred and win over others to God. Let the world know that above everything, most dear to our hearts is God — the Supreme Reality. I give you my blessings for the attainment of this Truth.
After the parade, the students came for Baba's darshan. Standing in a line, one by one each child approached and took prasad from him. When only a few children were left, Baba stroked the cheek of one of them. This made all the other boys jealous, and they again formed into a line. The next boy would not leave unless Baba stroked his cheek also. Thus Baba had to gratify their wish and caress every little fellow, and he was much amused by it all.
Vishnu Sharma of Dhagwan sang before Baba, and it was observed that Hiralal Lodhi of Nauranga began acting in a strange way. He would cling to people of Baba's group, remove their satchels or hats, and slap and push them. His antics also amused Baba much.
In the village of Dhagwan, Baba visited a devotee named Fadali. Baba called his wife to him, but she was so shy she did not come. Fadali was upset over his wife's disobedience to Baba and slapped her. Baba rebuked him, ordering him never to do so again. In Hamirpur District, it is the custom for women to wear veils, and they never readily approach any male who is not a relative. But after this incident they, of their own accord, began coming to Baba, to their great benefit. In many places women would cover the dirt roads with their costly saris for Baba to walk upon.
