Introducing Ayodhya Prasad Rathor of Dhagwan Village, Keshav said that he had come to the meeting defraying his traveling expenses by selling his wife's jewelry.
Baba asked, "Why did you do that? I was there [with you at your home]!"
Rathor answered, "Jewels can be obtained again in life; but there will not be another chance to attend such a rare meeting as this for 700 years."
When Bhagwat Prasad stepped forward, Keshav said he was a retired tahsildar (revenue official) and was a devotee of Ram.
"I myself am Ram," Baba replied.
Calling Suresh Chandra Nigam, a student, to him, Baba stated, "You are very lucky. Is it not your luck that you have attended this meeting? Now, from today do one thing: that is, be absolutely honest and on no account speak a lie, even if your throat is slit!"
Forty men from Nauranga had come.
Baba made them stand before him and urged Babu Ramprasad, "You should tell people about me and my work, and act accordingly."
Ramprasad then introduced each lover, one by one, and Baba was deeply touched on hearing of their love for him. Among them was also a sadhu. He had no money to attend the meeting. He had left Nauranga two days before the others' departure, and was somehow able to be present in Meherabad on time.
When introduced to a barber named Ramacharan Nai, Baba asked him, "Can you shave me? Have you brought your materials?"
Ramacharan said he did not have any equipment.
Baba stated, "I am the Universal Barber ... I shave and shape the heads of all!"
All laughed, whereupon Baba commented, "My humor is eternal. Due to it, people have no idea of my eternity, and I myself cannot gauge it! There is no one as true as I, and also as false!"
Gaya Prasad Khare, an old lover, was introduced. Baba asked Keshav to finish the introductions soon.
Commenting on his infinity, Baba observed, "I am Ustad [Expert, Master]. No one tells lies like me, and no one speaks the truth like me. I am both simultaneously. So, I cannot be caught. I am God and appear human. I have lost everything, but I have still retained my sense of humor. I cannot be fathomed. I am so unfathomable that even I cannot fathom my own self! Yet, I am the only One, the Ancient One, who can be one's own by love, honest love."
