Baba had the car driven away, contacted him in private on the outskirts of the city, and afterward dropped him off at the tailor's shop. Baba was highly pleased with this contact. On Baba's orders, Baidul fetched sweets and bread which Baba handed to the mast. The mast was in a pleasant mood and he did justice to the prasad. For a mast to be in an agreeable mood for contact was most important for Baba, and without it, the result of his work would not be to his satisfaction. Therefore, Baba was always careful of the masts' moods, and to comply with their every wish, Baba would do whatever was required to keep them pleased.
After his contact with Gathriwala, Baba proceeded toward Shah Serai to contact an old Maulana (Muslim learned man). In his search for this Maulana, Baidul came across another mast also called Maulana. He was reputed to be very religious and a servant of God, for he always had a copy of the Koran in his hand. Baba contacted him, bowed down to him and gave him a ten-rupee currency note. Smilingly, Maulana stared at his coat pockets, as he seemed undecided in which pocket he should keep the note. He began putting it in one pocket and then, after some thought, transferred it to another. This he did several times without arriving at any definite conclusion as to where to keep the note. This amused Baba.
Baba remarked, "He is like a child,"
and he sent Baidul to ask him when he would be willing to come to Dehra Dun. Baidul asked, but Maulana refused to come. Baidul then tried to induce him by saying that in Dehra Dun he would be kept comfortable with very good food and new clothes. But the Maulana did not agree.
Thereafter, Baba went to contact a mast called Bawla Hakim (an unani traditional medicine doctor), who would write out prescriptions to sick persons who came to him. In the company of Eruch and Baidul, Baba contacted him, and then sent the rest of the men for a glimpse of the high mast.
Baba then started in search of a mast named Peshwari who lived in a cemetery. Peshwari was a tall mast, with a very strong physique and fair-complexion. His face was exceptionally brilliant. He was not found in the cemetery but was spotted sitting on a dirt road in the open.
